What Travelers Are Saying
Great size. Took ir for a trip to Egipt, super confortable, and when I returned I used it expandabled for the gifts I purchased.
I have the older version - Setout Divide - that I purchased in 2021 for my frequent travel as my sole suitcase/laptop bag for 3-4 day trips, including two laptops, chargers, etc., notebook, toiletries bag and shoes. Had worked like a charm since.
The bag is strong and sturdy.. well built/ designed - the material is strong, stitches and zippers are superb. Very simple. But the bag is on the heavy side especially with the hip belt. The front pocket cannot be accessed once the bag is full. The quick access pocket could well have been developed as a semi admin panel and the front pocket should have been made a top access extra pocket rather than eating into the main section. Quality is top notch. User friendliness not the very best
