It is compact, lightweight, low profile and good for light travel. It has a good design for a "top loading" backpack. The mouth of the main compartment opens wide. The main compartment also has 2-way zippers which is good. There are mesh pockets on the side. Great to carry extra items that you may have to quickly reach without un-zipping. It also has a smaller compartment that doubles as a pouch to fold the entire backpack into. The mesh-like shoulder straps are great for ventilation. The material seems rugged enough for the lightweight fabric that it is. The stitching and reinforcements are of good quality work. Of course I have not tried the item on a long term basis but it seems well made. One common problem with backpack shoulder straps is that they are made of material that is not breathable and can make you perspire more on a hot day. Besides that, the shoulder straps can absorb sweat and then themselves develop a bad smell. With the mesh -like shoulder straps you might be able to even soak them in water to wash them. Also the instructions on the tag even has information on how to clean or launder the backpack. Very unusual. Good. Most backpacks don't have cleaning instructions.
However I have to return the backpack because one part of its design does not suit me. The shoulder straps seem to be made so as to fit a person with broader shoulders. Of course when a backpack is filled with items it can fit differently than if it is empty. It also depends if you are wearing light clothing or bulky winter clothing. I only tried on the backpack while it was empty and was wearing lightweight clothes ( see video) but it still seems that the shoulder straps do not exactly fit my physique. At least at this time, it is not what I need. I would recommend it for anyone else who can use such features in a backpack.
