Great backpack, fits the stuff
Great backpack, fits the stuff I need but helps me not overpack. Really good at distributing heavy weight so it’s possible to carry for longer distances. Also great that you’re able to stow away the harnesses to make it a duffel bag, I use this all the time for packing on airplane and by car, very useful. It’s also built very sturdily, you feel very confident that the backpack will withstand weather and not break when handled roughly. Love this.
I super appreciate the few organisational pockets it has, especially the laptop sleeve, but some more organisation would definitely be nice. I bought some complementary cheap packing cubes from IKEA, but for anything other than clothes I would prefer built in organisation.
It also wasn’t as comfortable on my body as I thought it would be when people said it’s the most comfortable travel backpack.
It feels fine after some adjustments but I still feel like I need to take it off sometimes! Maybe the fairview would fit my frame better, even though I’m a guy? I recommend trying and comparing weighted backpacks in store if possible! (It feels completely different on your back when it’s full of heavy weight).
