SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
This backpack is a solid choice for those needing a reliable and spacious bag for travel and work. The TSA-friendly design and multiple compartments are useful, but it lacks some advanced features found in higher-end models. Durability is a strong point, making it a good value for the price.
