I purchased this backpack for a trip to Europe. I did not want to have to manage a tote bag over my shoulder and roll my luggage over cobblestone streets and/or carry both up flights of stairs. This was perfect. You can fit a lot of items in this bag, which I did. A little too much. It was hard to fit under the seat of my first flight. Luckily there was enough room in the overhead bin of my second. I was more mindful of this on the flights home, so just be aware that overpacking can easily happen. It doesn’t change how much I love this bag as a personal item. It’s great for organizing all of your items.

I fell in love with the red color of this bag as well as all the pockets to keep things organized BUT I recently used it for a girls weekend to Florida and ONLY packed this bag (no roller carry on) and this bag is AMAZING and a work horse.

I was able to successfully pack; 2 bathing suits, 1 cover up, 3 dresses, denim jacket, a pair of PJs, 2 pairs of sandals, 1 headband, toiletries and makeup, a straw purse, a mini bluetooth speaker, chargers, and jewelry.

In addition, I packed a water bottle and attached a hat to the outside.

If on the fence, BUY-IT. You'll be super impressed and also, if using with a rolling suitcase, the back sleeve that you can use to place on the suitcase is so great.

This is a really great backpack. I love all the small pockets that allows me to organize things much easier than a normal tote bag. This will be my new personal bag when I’m catching flights and my go to bag when packing for small road trips. I loved the Glacier color but I went with Flame to match my red CALPAK luggage . The Flame color is really pretty as well, so you can’t go wrong with any of these colors honestly. I might get the Glacier when I catch it on sale because I wouldn’t mind having two of these backpacks in my household.
