Had a week long trip to Amsterdam coming up and I needed a solid and reliable carry-on that I wouldn't have to check and worry about losing. Not only was this compact AND organized for a backpack, but the design is incredibly tough and reliable. This lil beast of a bag held all my clothing and stuff for a week, and right away it felt like a bag I'd be using again and again. In fact, I'll be flying with this same bag on my trip to Japan in a few weeks and then yet AGAIN when I return to Amsterdam in January. Feels good to have a reliable bag for traveling now and I'll be surprised if this thing doesn't last me at least a good 10 years at minimum.

Just a side note - everyone talks about the hip straps being lifesavers...the bag was literally so comfy I didn't even have to use the hip straps. These guys really know how to make a supportive travel backpack.

***To the folks at Tortuga, CHEERS and KUDOS to you for making such a solid travel bag for all the adventurers out there that need/want one!***

I just took this bag on a week's trip to NYC and it was almost too big to fit everything! This bag is amazing for anyone who travels especially that who love organization and has to carry their tech.

I've used this bag on one trip so far and packing for another at the moment!

Perfect for weekend travel or longer depending on how light you want to go. The laptop pouch is great for keeping the work laptop safe and it's suspended from the ground so I'm not worried about dropping the bag and damaging my tech.

Comfy to wear but after a while the shoulder straps can start digging into my pecs maybe they need to be further apart on the pack?

All in all excellent experience and excited to travel with just this one bag.

I have had this bag for a few years and loved it. It looks great, holds everything and has plenty of pockets. I get compliments on it every time I travel with my friends and I immediately become a Tortuga salesman. I had a few years I was on ~60 flights a year and I loved this bag. This is the best bag for someone who travels on planes often and needs to move quickly. I did have a slight zipper issue once and Tortuga made the warranty super easy. Most companies don't stand by their products, but Tortuga really does. Highly recommend this bag and company.
