I ordered looking for a back-pack. Truly this is more functional as a small quick get-away/over-night bag, good for rolling clothes and having a briefcase and pack combo. Deciding to buy two as a gift so I appreciate what it is, however it was not what I thought I was originally purchasing.

After viewing Jack Carr's podcast with John B., I had to look into this. Initially, I am liking it very much! Size, design features, fit, finish, no worries. On top of that, it arrived in a timely manner, properly packaged. Flying to Idaho in a couple of weeks; hoping for the best.

Really not thrilled, but not totally disappointed. Purchased looking for a daily commuter for work at the hospital with hope for Sitka quality & durability, but the interior could use a touch more thought in my opinion. I appreciate the idea behind the zippered mesh divider in large compartment, however, I wish the zipper was not smack dab in the middle... It limits the amount & size of items that can be carried. Secondly, it decreases ease of access if trying to reach something quickly due to the direction of the exterior zipper for same compartment, & inconvenient access point to items behind mesh divider. Ideally, if the divider zipper ran the full inner edge of the mesh divider, inside exterior zipper, this would allow easier access from the top in travel/use with both zippers at the top to open wider, & potentially make the mesh divider optional when not wanted/necessary. (Biggest pet peeves is divider not being optional...) I also wish the single pocket inside largest compartment had a zipper to keep items from rolling out if the bag gets turned over or if items are heavy & slide out when opened. This drives me nuts! Haha! Lastly, I wish the bag had exterior flat loops like my timber pack in order to optimize ability/versatility to attach things if necessary.
Overall, I do like the bag. Quality of materials & durability seem to be as expected. Comfortable to carry. I appreciate the exterior zipper design for largest compartment to allow bag to be opened flat! That's great for visibility when space is available to open all the way. However, the bag is really just ideal for use as strictly a carry-on or overnight travel bag, in my opinion. Not so much an all around super versatile backpack for multi-use... Hope to see a re-design with a few tweeks in the future.

Thing holds more than you would imagine!

Great backpack! Definitely not meant to be a school backpack, but works amazing for traveling. Very happy with my purchase!

Awesome pack for weekends! Very well thought out for organization.

Just curious on how many liters it is... Would be useful to include in product description.
