Just got back from a two-week trip across Europe, and this backpack was a total game-changer! The 40L capacity is no joke—I stuffed in 9 days’ worth of clothes, my laptop, toiletries, and still had room for souvenirs. The packing cubes it came with kept everything organized (no more digging for socks at the bottom!).

The USB port was clutch for charging my phone on the go (though heads up—you’ll need your own power bank). The material feels super durable, and even got caught in a surprise rainstorm—everything stayed dry thanks to the water-resistant fabric.

My only tiny gripe? No waist strap. Carrying it fully loaded through airports had my shoulders begging for mercy. But hey, it slid perfectly under airplane seats (even on budget airlines!), and the anti-theft design gave me peace of mind in crowded places.

Seriously considering buying a second one in gray—that’s how much I love this thing. If you travel light but hate checking bags, this is your holy grail.
