Open Story 35L Travel Backpack

I got this backpack to travel from Chicago to Seattle for a weekend. I knew I was spending 12 hours exploring the city before I’d be able to put my luggage anywhere so my usual rolling luggage would’ve been a pain. I’m a chronic overpacker so I knew it’d be a challenge for me to take a backpack. This had so many good features that made it exceed my expectations! • I was SO pleasantly surprised with how roomy this is & that it basically is just like a standard carry-on size (see picture for comparison), but for your back. It somehow still didn’t feel obnoxiously large on my back though. • I loved the hidden laptop pocket right behind where your back is when you’re wearing it. I felt secure that my ipad was close by & not easy for someone to grab out of my bag while I was walking. • The front pockets are nice for miscellaneous items & have plenty of storage. • The straps are comfortable & have the buckles in the front to close across your chest. • There are buckles on the outside sides to help compress the items in the bag once it’s packed. The only thing I would’ve liked additional would’ve been other colors!
