I took this pack on my school’s trip to Greece and Italy; I am the teacher/group leader, so I needed to use it for my personal items as well as the documents for my students. We had two flights in Economy (we were on the back of the plane) and it fit neatly underneath the seat, and it even doubled as a foot rest for me. I loved the added security of the laptop pocket in the back, the straps were comfy, it fit my water bottle, it had plenty of organizational pockets and fit everything I needed on hand for the trip. I liked the added trolley strap on the back, it would be nice if it was a little larger/was a pocket that could zip and be used as a pocket when you don’t need it as a trolley/suitcase strap. I even added a security TSA lock when going through Rome, the zippers had the holes for a lock already built in; it felt pretty secure as I had to hold my students’ passports as well as my own. This was a great backpack, I wish it came in a 26L, the next size down was a little too small for me, and the 28L got pretty heavy because of how much it fits. Overall, I loved it, loved the neutral colors (I would have loved a Del Día color way as well, but I couldn’t decide between the two). I went with the neutral gray, and I am very happy with it and I can’t wait to use it on our next trip!
