Big Bag, Fits Everything You Need

This is a great bag with all the room you could ever need. Bottle holder fit big-ish water bottles. Not sure that it is worth the additional money over the Borealis unless you need every square inch you can get. Smart layout with very secure pocket for your most delicate of laptops.

Versatile Bag But Heavy

This is a versatile bag with good storage and organizational features however, it’s a little on the heavier side

Great Backpck

Just took it on my first trip. Lots of pockets and sets up nicely for work/travel on short trips as well as a day out.

Love It

Lots of room and comfortable to wear. Always using a basketball bag as a backpack and it was great to use an actual backpack.
