    I Love This Bag!

    I love this bag! It’s big and it slides easily onto my roller bag. It also fits nicely under the seat on an airplane. It holds both my laptop and tablet. I also like the side zipper for access. This is my go to travel bag. Plenty of room for all my tech gear and most importantly, plenty of space for travel snacks!! What can I say, the bag makes me happy!

    Awesome bag

    After hauling for a couple weeks now, I can say this bag is awesome. Tons of room and more comfortable than I would have imagined when loaded. There's one improvement I wish Chrome would offer. It needs the full size buckle on the outside, not the keychain size buckle. I own multiple Chrome bags, and building this with the full size buckle I believe would have been a no-brainer. I know that would have cost a little more, but would have been worth it. The keychain buckle doesn't operate as smoothly as the full size, and I'm opening and closing the bag 20x per day. Chrome if you're reading, this bag is indeed sweet. Consider the full size buckle. I'll be doing the upgrade myself (though the full size buckle I want is red and black! And it's not available right now (sigh)). Keep truckin'

    Day one thoughts

    Was back and forth between this and the Barrage. Opted for this due to the capacity being sort of in a sweet spot at 26L. Compared to the Barrage, had to choose between 22L or 34L. Also wanted a more low-key design since I’d mainly be using this for work. Got tired of carrying a gym bag and a backpack around since I use the gym at the office.

    Things I like:

    - Main compartment is super spacious. More than enough room for my 16in MacBook plus gym clothes & shoes. So no longer need a separate gym bag when going to work.

    - Easy external access to the laptop compartment

    - Strap along the back padding to secure onto your luggage is a nice touch.

    Things I don’t like:

    - No smaller external pocket for easy access to all the little things like AirPods, wallet etc. The main external pocket on the outside obviously can be used but I store my notebook in there so a separate smaller pocket would have been better. Also because it’s a vertical opening, I’m afraid the little things could easily fall out.

    - Straps feel tight. Loosening them also makes it feel awkward since most of the shoulder padding ends up on your back. I guess this backpack was designed to be worn high and tight but I usually prefer a looser fit.

    Overall still very happy with the capacity and the minimalist design.
