A good bag and a good value
I purchased this bag for a two-week trip around Greece and found it to be great for my needs. It’s relatively roomy, yet the main pack just meets carry-on requirements and the small day-pack easily fits under an airplane seat. It’s pretty comfortable to wear, with nicely padded straps on the main pack and good straps on the detachable day-pack. The shoulder strap is convenient as well–the main bag can be carried as a shoulder bag or with the padded suitcase handle if desired. The day-pack can also be clipped onto the front of the bag, which can be good both for security and to distribute weight more evenly.

The bag was also pretty durable, although one of the metal clips on the shoulder strap came off when the strap got caught in an airport x-ray machine (not sure this is really the bag’s fault though).

Overall I am quite satisfied, especially for the price. Just keep in mind this is a travel bag–it’s great for carrying on your back from hotel to hotel while traveling, but it’s not one you would want to be wearing 100% of the time on your trip. (A metal-frame hiking-oriented pack might be better for that purpose.)
