Review: Great bag - love it - I’ve used this bag twice now, in different ways. Here are my thoughts. I travel for business and in the past, carried two items: the larger (luggage) carry-on and a briefcase. The briefcase was always jam packed and even if I bought a bottle of water in the airport, I couldn’t fit in in there. As note, this bag has two setups: briefcase mode (where shoulder straps are tucked away) and backpack mode. The first time I used this, it was in place of the briefcase. Worked great – it's much larger than my old briefcase and I had plenty of room for all of the work items I needed and all of the additional things I wanted (iPad, headphones, water, etc…). And, it fit under the seat nicely (not a lot of foot space, but that’s usual with a bag under the seat). It worked well. I had my clothes in a luggage carryon that went into the overhead bin. The second time I used it, I decided to just go for it and it make this my only carryon item (my only bag at all…both a briefcase and luggage). It was a 3 day/2 night trip and I used packing cubes to help (so that when I got to the destination airport rental car, I could remove the clothes quickly and stash them in the trunk of the car…so then I could compress the bag and use it in briefcase mode). It was obviously heavier with all of my clothes in it, but I was able to put it in the overhead bin and enjoy the legroom on the plane! And, with the should straps, the bag wasn't too heavy to get through the airports. It worked well in both of the scenarios I tried it in. Going forward (depending on the length of the trip), I’ll have two ways to use: second carryon/briefcase, but for shorter trips, it can certainly take the place of both the briefcase and luggage. As far a professional briefcase, it is not (and isn’t designed to be), so as long as you’re not trying to impress someone with a shiny leather briefcase, this should fit in at any workplace these days. My only complaint is that it needs a shoulder strap when in ‘briefcase’ mode, as it only has a handle and it’s tough to carry things (donuts & coffee) without a shoulder strap. It’s also well made and seems durable. Time will tell.
Review: My perfect travel companion! - I’m 5’7”, just under 200 lbs, and the thought of carrying everything on my back was a little scary. But this bag? It can do it. I ordered every size to test them all, and this one was my Goldilocks—just right. It’s heavy, but totally doable, and kept me completely mobile. I went on an epic trip out west, visiting all the major stops on my way to California for an FLL tournament. Since I was rolling a robot, I needed all my clothes for 10 days on my back—and this bag handled planes, trains, and automobiles like a champ. It’s super organized, so I always knew exactly where everything was and it was super accessible. Seriously, this backpack handled it all and looked great doing it! There’s not one thing I would change to make it better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm glad I did
*by H***Y on June 3, 2018*

My old backpack of 10 years died and after hours of searching on Amazon reading reviews, I decided on this one. I'm glad I did. It's got tons of space inside, and it's compartmentalized so that I can keep things separate. Easy access to my laptop when going through airport security. My work laptop is an ancient 16 inch beast and it fits with no issues. I've taken this on two trips so far and it has held up well and seems like it will continue to do so. It's well made. I like the fact that it has a strap that you can carry it as a messenger bag. You can also tuck in the shoulder straps and carry it like a suitcase. The only thing I'm not liking about it is that the clips for the shoulder straps are plastic and I can see those wearing out earlier than the pack, but we'll see how it goes.
