Pros:

- I like the way it looks, what drew me to it in the first place

- lightweight design, even when loaded up with my edc (which includes a 14 inch macbook, a sketchbook, a traveler notebook, switch 2, small pencil case, phone, keys, small bottle of sunscreen, pocket knife, and small lunch, extra tshirt)

- comfortable for long term use, great companion to use when biking around town or to the office

- affordable price

- great material with easy to open zippers

- the bottom compartment is great to store my lunch

- small compression like straps on each side

Cons:

- No quick access/admin pocket

- Both side pockets are a bit flimsy in my opinion (I used a carabiner to hook my waterbottle to the pack for that extra security)

- sternum straps do not glide easy at all

- top handle design is not great (I ended up using a paracord to make it thicker and rounder)

- bottom compartment eats into the main compartment too much

Overall, for the price and the design of the pack, it is a great value. I am happy to wear it every day and its already gotten a few compliments from random folks on the street.

Great materials and very comfortable bag, however, the front pocket is absurdly large. Looking into the bag it is surprising the shape and space that the front side bag occupies, and if filled will significantly eat away at the capacity on the inside of the bag.

There was a removable laptop sleeve that was included, but it feels like it was more of an after thought than anything else.

If they could fix that front pocket this would be an incredible bag.
