I bought this backpack to use as my personal item for an upcoming flight. Now, I was flying on a budget, so no carry on, no checked bag, 5 day trip…. Will it stand up to the test? It so did!! Not only could I fit my entire trips wardrobe, toiletries, and an extra pair of sandals, (with skillful packing!) but it was comfortable, and the straps remained strong, even with all that weight. I couldn’t believe the space inside, and the extra pockets made organization so much easier. I love this bag!!
