First impression? This backpack is a pocket paradise. I’m the type who carries everything from my 17-inch laptop to emergency snacks, and the 26+ pockets keep me shockingly organized. The hidden anti-theft pocket against the back is genius—I stash my passport there during flights and forget it’s there until I need it.

The USB charging port is a game-changer. I thread my power bank cable through the lining (it holds up to 30 inches!), so no tangled wires. Pro tip: Slide the cable all the way to the top arch—it stays put even when the bag’s stuffed. Minor gripe? The zipper opens downward; flipping it would make accessing the port smoother.

Durability? My teething puppy chewed the handles for months, and they still didn’t tear. The waterproof canvas survived coffee spills and sudden downpours, while the gold zippers (not my usual style) grew on me—they add a subtle luxe touch.

As a frequent flyer, I adore the luggage strap. Slipping it over my suitcase handle frees my hands for boarding passes. It fits under airplane seats easily, and the mesh shoulder straps don’t dig in during long layovers.

The only con? If you’re a one-strap slinger like me, note that this demands both shoulders—but with how much it carries, that’s fair. For $40-ish, this outclasses bags twice its price. 10/10 would let my puppy ‘test’ another one.
