Thought I would post a review after using this back on multiple domestic and international trips.

Whilst the bag is good in its large size I find my TUMI more durable and usable - let me explain

When travelling I like small accessible sections for passport and chargers / wipes and sanitizer and space for bulk items.

Whilst this has more bulk space and a separate zip section for a laptop - I don’t get the purpose of the 2 side slim pockets -

They are narrow and long - cannot hold a water bottle and just about fits a sanitizer and wipes.
WHAT IS THERE PURPOSE ??!

My MacBook charger won’t fit and a water bottle - not a chance !

Overall functional but I prefer my Tumi for being more travel friendly and thought out

Really impressed with this bag and so glad I got it rather than a Tumi, as I have an old one of those and they are really heavy. Very versatile, loads of pockets and comfortable on the shoulders and back.

I really wanted to like this bag - It's pretty good and has some great features. Unfortunately, it's a cheap bag dressed up as something fancy. I just returned from my first trip with it - 3 Weeks across Asia, so lots of flights etc. The bag didn't get any rough treatment and was never over-packed. On the final flight I noticed that the bottom corner stitching is starting to come away already, so I'm going to need to get B&R to sort it under warranty. Unacceptable for anything other than a cheap bag, but for one at this price it beggars belief. So, save your money and get yourself something else. Meanwhile, I am going back to my trust Mono Creators bag - 4 years old, been around the globe numerous times and still looks great.

I use this backpack for day-to-day toting for business. It handles my laptop, iPad, charging cords, Anker power source, and Anker wall charger, without a flaw. With all those items well protected, it has a substantial amount of room left for books/files, one or two water bottles (in the case, not in the water bottle holder), pens/pencils, headphone case, a clothing layer, a large toilet kit and a covered bowl of food. In addition, a zippered case at the top of the front panel keeps a passport/wallet, keys, boarding pass, etc. readily available. It fits under the seat in front. It is extremely comfortable as a backpack or over the shoulder pack. It's the most useful piece of luggage I've bought in a long time.

So glad I switched from my Tumi briefcase to a back pack. Much more comfortable and relieving back strain from carrying a traditional bag.

This bag is very large (consider this if going with the large) and provides tons of easily accessible space. Being a consultant, it’s fantastic as it can easily hold a day or two of clothes if needed for shorter trips. The computer compartment is well padded and there are multiple organizing pockets in each of the two main compartments. It’s comfortable to wear around the city and thru airports. I also find it to be sleeker and better looking than the Tumi equivalent. If I had any con for this bag it would simply be the size of the side water bottle packets. While they will easily and securely hold a standard sized plastic water bottle (a plus), they won’t hold larger bottles or canisters. Otherwise I find the bag nearly perfect for my needs, provides great looks with high levels of functionality and durability.
