This backpack casually balances on the knife edge. It is still 'just' a carry-on (even by the strict standards of most airlines) that is super easy to work with, yet it offers surprising storage capacity for a larger laptop, clothing and other travel necessities. It also features padded shoulder straps, contoured back panel and sternum strap for superb carrying comfort.
Its quick-access side pockets fit a water bottle or two bean cans - seriously, we have tried that out for you. Its inner compression straps make it super efficient.
