Backpack suitcase!
Have not used yet, but very impressed! Can’t wait to use it! Seems well constructed and sturdy. Love the compression packing cubes, the colour, the compartments.

Muy pesada y no es ergonómica.
Buen material, excelentes cierres, organizadores y bolsillos sin embargo, es muy pesada, no tiene estructura para distribuir el peso a la cintura.Pienso que no es para mujer por la ergonomia y el broche del pecho.

A good bag for a short trip.
Overall, I like it. Tidy, good looking, nice and comfortable to carry. This was my first try at compact packing and I enjoyed it. I’ll use this any time it’s a short trip. My only small complaint is the packing cube bags tore pretty much straight away. Overall though, the bag is great with lots of nice extra pockets. I’m a fan overall.

Ideal for a single carry on
Wow, this bag/backpack is so well made, I’m very impressed with the materials and craftsmanship, and it’s very spacious inside while still meeting the carryon requirements for the airline I’ll be flying in a week.Water resistant, Yes! I have not tested if it’s water proof, but the outside material is very slick and would repel water easily. The zippers have a plastic flap that seems to cover the seam well.My order was a bundle and also included packing cubes and a toiletry bag. Those are also very good quality and there is nothing that I am disappointed in with this purchase. It is exactly like it was pictured in the listing. I ordered the red/brick color, and it’s beautiful.My only wish is that this had a handle and wheels, but then it may not have as much space inside. I was willing to sacrifice that convenience for the features of this bag and I’m very happy I did.This is like a piece of luggage that you could leave to someone in a will, it’s that nice. 🙂

Not size it says
Bag appears to be decent quality but not true to sizing. I have a north face bag with no pockets that is the size this one is listed as and it holds quite a bit more than this bag. Not sure about the sizing.Update: purchased May 22, ‘24…have used the backpack twice now and has held up so far but I can’t say that much for the packing cubes. Haven’t even compressed it and it’s coming apart at the seam. It appears that it may not have been caught good and is fraying.

Outstanding product!!
Had to come back and rave about this bag. I bought the 28L bag and traveled to India, Bangladesh and Nepal twice already. Incredible durability in the humidity and packed so well with the included compression bags. The side pocket for laptop and pad is perfect to take out and put back after security. Not having to dig into the bag from the top to get at stuff is a BIG plus. Outstanding product for the price. Easy to carry on the plane, bus, and vehicles (large and very tiny taxis) in country. I am so very happy with this bag. A great big help to carry my stuff in not so easy to travel places.

Pockets Pockets Pockets!
Very Impressed!!!Bought for a trip to 4th of July and Loved It! It was a bit big for underneath the seat in front of me but I made it work.I love all the pockets and the packing cubes. I’m really impressed by how easy it was to carry, and the way it looks.So glad I found this.

Inconsistent Quality
Update: the company reached out and was very sympathetic. They immediately sent a new set,and I haven’t had any problems. Appreciate the quick turnaround!I used the backpack and the compression bags for the first time for a 2 week trip. The backpack fit everything I needed to and the zippers are nice. However, one of compression unraveled at the seems pretty much after the second time I unzipped it

Ripped during first use. – EDITED
I purchased this for my first international trip. After 4 days, it has developed a 2 inch rip in a seam on the top of the bag.7/1/2024 – Cor contacted me as soon as the review went live and offered to ship me a replacement to wherever I was in the world. Customer Service wise, I rate these folks a perfect 5 stars. They said that they made some improvements to the bag that would prevent this from happening again, I just haven’t used the replacement bag yet. Once I do I will update this review again.

More than hoped for!
I bought this after researching many backpacks. I am in a long-distance relationship and fly quite often. I wanted something easy to carry and stow so bought this backpack and the travel cubes and toiletry bag. Everything is amazing! Everything stores easily and compactly. There is plenty of room for everything I need for my trip. And it’s not too heavy and is easy to carry. Wish I would have had it sooner.

Great find!I just wanted to ask if there are any recommended storage practices to prevent TPU peeling and material degradation?

Fits under airplane seat!
The bag holds a lot of clothes. It looks and feels just like a Cotopaxi but at half the cost. Took it on vacation to Mexico. The bag fit all my clothes for a 4 day trip. It also fit under the seats on Southwest. Also, the strap on the back of the backpack fits great on a roller suitcase. Would highly recommend!

Awesome Bag
So excited my bag just got delivered! It is a little bigger than my normal carry on bag but that is what I was looking for. So many pockets. The only thing I am not 100% happy with is the water pocket. I normally bring my 32oz HydroFlask with me everywhere but this only fits my 24oz bottle.

Great alternative to Cotopaxi
Got this for my husband for weekend travel and he LOVES it! I was looking for a backpack that had compartments like this and the REI alternative was way too expensive. This is just as nice and you are supporting a local HB business!

I was surprised by this backpack!
I bought this 20L backpack for my wife, but she decided it wasn’t for her — she wanted something with wheels. So, I used it on a trip we took to Hawaii and Fiji as my carry-on bag. Wow! This backpack holds a lot and the compression bags keep everything neat and tidy. T-shirts we’re not rumpled and everything else nicely organized. The laptop & iPad storage is convenient to access but I recommend you load these first before you pack your clothes and other necessities to avoid over packing or risking damaging your electronics by trying to force-fit them after packing. There are 2 “secret” zippered pockets to stash your travel documents or extra cash and a luggage “pass-through” strap to secure the bag to a rolling suitcase.Backpack shoulder straps are comfortable and there is an adjustable sternum strap. Unfortunately, no removable or store-able wast belt, but on a 20L bag that’s not a big issue. The bag itself is water resistant but the smooth pulling YKK zippers (opens the backpack like a suitcase for easy packing!) don’t have a water seal, so your stuff could get wet in a downpour without a rain cover (not included). But, the bag survived several tropical showers without issue.This is a good travel bag for the adventurous “minimalist” looking to travel light. As a carry-on, this is my new “go-to” bag now! 🙂
