    My partner and I used these backpacks as our only luggage for a three months of travel across Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. They were incredible! They were really comfortable to wear around even for long stretches of time. I did a ton of research before buying a backpack for our trip and I didn't regret purchasing these for a second.

    I purchased this bag to use on flights as my overhead carry-on and it’s been great. I’m able to fit a week’s worth of clothes in there and it’s still really comfortable to wear on my back. The build quality is fantastic and the overall organization of the bag makes it so easy and fun to use.

    We just got back from a nine day trip that included cars, buses, planes, trains and many miles of walking on cobble stone roads in the rain and our Tortuga backpacks worked great!
