I was traveling with hand luggage for 3 weeks in Thailand on the road and needed next to my backpack actually of course a little for day trips, which I travel but again can stow small backpack. The bag is super handy for a day trip everything fit in, he has seen it all, very durable and even stylish. Was approached in Hostel 2 times where I have him. Highly Recommended, I would take over again on vacation.
