would buy it again

I bought this backpack as a Christmas present for a good friend of mine. He's a pragmatic person, and not exactly the easiest to shop for, so I always try to get him a gift with some form of utility. He was really impressed with the build quality and unable to find any sort of flaws with how it was designed. He recognized all the material and would explain how it would work in the weather or the utility behind using different enclosures or material in different places. Suffice to say that he loved it! He rebuked me for spending that kind of money on him, but also said he would get an unprecedented amount of use out of it. For the first test run, he brought home all of the other Christmas gifts my girlfriend and I bought for him. I'm happy to know he has a secure way of bringing his belongings with him, regardless of the weather! Thank you very much Ridge! Mission Accomplished! :)

I gave these as gifts for Christmas to very active and on the go men. They were thrilled to have something so compact to throw in their bags when leaving town for business or pleasure.

Best backpack ever. Hands down. Only wish it came in other colors.

I think its going to be perfect for travel. I like the simplicity and material of the product. Also, I bought nine of them for my wedding party.
