" ... I prefer to travel with a backpack-style carry on. ... "
" ... Love this backpacks. ... Comfortable to carry ... "
" ... If you travel with electronics like a laptop and need to pack in your clothes without hassling with multiple bags, this is truly the bag for you! ... It's also very comfortable to tote around on your back as a backpack. ... "

" ... This bag did not disappoint. ... "
" ... Had lots of room. ... "
" ... This bag basically is a bag and it holds stuff, lots of it. ... "
" ... It held everything I needed it to with room to spare. ... "
" ... Very slick bag! ... "
" ... The laptop slot is ingenious - the side towards my back is well-padded, as expected, but the side on the interior is unpadded, allowing the fabric to drape around the laptop edges, and thereby "reclaim" otherwise lost laptop compartment space. ... My one gripe about the Motherlode line is "feature creep" - too many compartments, clever but hard to use snap-out water bottle slots, etc. ... Unlike a lying wheelie, however the AmazonBasics is really 9x14x22 - wheelie makers usually don't count their wheels or protruding top and side handles (the handles on this AmazonBasics lie pretty flat). ... The only interior organizing slot/pouch is a flat 2/3 width, flat mesh zipper pouch. ... Behind the flat zipper slot is a real "compartment", basically an add-on to the lid but accessible from the outside. ... There are two pen slots on the body-side panel, with drop in solid slots at top and drop in mesh slots at bottom. ... "
" ... Amazing Amazing bag. ... "
" ... you can configure this bag to do whatever you need it to do. ... "

" ...

There are two pen slots on the body-side panel, with drop in solid slots at top and drop in mesh slots at bottom. ... So, basically, I can underpack this thing outbound, using the handy exterior compression straps to keep stuff from shifting and also to slim down the profile (which makes gate check agent happy). ... "
" ... Has convenient stowaway straps. ... "
" ... It's extremely rugged, and well made. ... "
" ... The strap set to the right is a shoulder strap to convert it to a side carrying bag. ... I found both of them wrapped up where you place your clothing material. ... The construction is great, like some other reviews have mentioned . ... No issues upon arrival, made well, zippers and all other parts of the bag work great. ... "

" ... Just note that the backapck straps are hidden in the back zipper. ... "

" ... It has a thin chest strap to help with back support. ... "
" ... More straps and compartments than I need but that's a plus. ... "
" ... - The straps and padding are very comfortable, and the sternum strap (that caused the eBags to be unacceptable) is a supurb design -- not only wrapping entirely around the main shoulder straps for durability, but also allowing vertical adjustability that greatly enhances comfort over long distances. ...
