The New York Times - “I take this backpack everywhere”
It can be difficult to find a backpack that’s great for both everyday use and travel—one that’s durable enough for daily commutes, yet roomy enough to pack the essentials for a vacation. For senior updates writer Sri Rain Stewart, this sleek and spacious backpack does that double duty quite well. It’s well designed with a magnetic top closure, a built-in luggage pass-through strap, and padded, adjustable shoulder straps. And despite its minimalist design, this backpack doesn’t sacrifice on storage. Says Sri: “It saves my back as I transition from work to travel, it goes with everything, and there’s no wear or tear in sight.” We independently review everything we recommend.
