I've been searching for a new backpack that I can use not only for hiking but for travel (carry-on) and general use. This seemed to fit the bill! The colour is great and I really like the material. It can fit my 15in laptop in easily. I took it to Perth as carry-on and it really fit in a lot of stuff, I was pleasantly surprised. The straps are super comfortable and I can imagine going on a walk/hike would be a breeze with being able to secure it to your body. Look forward to using it more!
