Took this to wintry Turkey on a 2.5 weeks trip. It was my carry-on in the plane and day pack for hikes and tours. It has plenty of pockets for all my cold-weather accessories, knick-knacks and Turkish snacks. Love the smooth zippers, and it's puffiness makes it pleasant to hug and hold. I noticed a slight tear at the top of the strap where I tend to lift the bag up from. There is also a small hole now, at the bottom seams of the bottle holder pocket. Otherwise, the bag held up well! Easy to clean but please wipe away ink stains immediately or they will be harder to remove later. I own the Kaya Laptop Backpack as well, and even though I take style over comfort, I would forsake style for the Luka Backpack any day.
