[Zipper] Typical Samsonite, does exactly what it says. Practical, stylish, reasonably priced, well thought out. Can get 6 of these for the price of a Tumi and don't have to worry about someone stealing it for the bag not the contents.

[Yes] I was looking for something smaller and this is a perfect size for my needs, (YMMV), without the untidy myriad bells, whistles and cords which hang off many backpacks.


There are enough pockets, nooks and crannies to keep an average traveller happy, plus a perfect laptop compartment with medium padding. There is a perfect, lightly padded laptop compartment for my 12 inch. and my 14 inch also fits well.

The workmanship and material quality are excellent. I bought this for a sale price of $50-something at BH purely by chance after seeing the exact same model priced at over $100 at other sources. I saw a user review discussing the shoulder pads as being too wide and stiff. Hasn't been a problem for me because I don't use this for long hikes, but rather for hand-baggage when travelling.

BH was only offering this in black, and I would have preferred a colored version, but it looks sleek and sophisticated and I could not resist for the price.

I have been downsizing my camera travel kit and needed a backpack into which I could also store my small Domke bag, (F-9 JD) and everything works on top of an 18-inch rollaboard. for easy travel through airports, and for quick storage on board.

[Empty] Great Backpack, it has all the pockets I need so I purchased an extra one to make sure I had one when the current one broke. I have been using the current one for two year everyday.

[3.41 lb] This pack is exactly the right size for air travel. I am using it to house photographic equipment (inside inserts purchased from another company), travel documents and electronic devices and garments in case of sudden weather changes. All of this fits neatly and beneath the seat in front of me on a jet.

[Black] Good

[Yes] Purchased this for my dad as a gift, and he loves it! Looks stylish, and you can definitely feel the durability when you first pick it up. Great backpack at a great price.

[Zipper] Purchased this product for my dad who is a very well traveled businessman and he loves it! Not only does the item feel durable for those hectic trips through the airport, but it also looks stylish too. Not to mention you can easily access all of your most used items pretty easily.

[Empty] Perfect for a carry on for every travel. You can’t

[Zipper] Love all the separate compartments; especially having laptop protected and a place for my Kindle and another for phone. Then lots of other places for other miscellaneous items. Can fit a blanket or sweater in the main area and a neck pullow. Love it!
