I hesitated between a roller suitcase and bag. And I finally chose this backpack. It was an anticipation of upcoming business trip involving several trips by train, bus and plane.
Some previous reviews had cooled a little, but considering the price and the return policy of Amazon, I told myself I would send the worst if I thought he was bad.
In the end I'm very happy. It is light, there is room and above all it does not label you "tourist" which can be useful in some corners. And you can hang out with if you ever have an evening flight and you need to make your room at noon without having to leave the hotel by setpoint.
Even if he is more pleasant to walk I find "light".
Professional photographer, on my last trip (5 days) I managed to squeeze my equipment and my business and I still had room! The bag was approximately 6Kg.
The train and the bus Air France no worries. I then used the airlines Flybe and Easyjet. Also in hand luggage. I have never been tested to see if I do not dépassais size templates unlike some passengers traveling on the same flight as me.
For the record before my first flight with this bag ...... although I was confident .... I tested with Easyjet result template ... I could almost put a 2 nd ! The bag "swimming" in it ......
I personally do not "binge" my travel bags, but I saw several people in an airport that had the same bag, filled thoroughly and which suddenly could not use the straps on the side. But that was! The story does not say if they were able to embark in the cabin.
The negatives ... because there still;) I would say the quality of the seams, in my case they tidy ... but are sensitive to the eye but it is only an impression .. . proof they hold. As zippers .... sometimes by closing the bag .... I wondered if they would keep .... and that was the case. Nothing prevents to reinforce the seams by seamstresses ... but I tend to believe that when it works it is useless to touch it ..... however, nothing prevents to improve his bag ;)
And size. Let me explain, the size is perfect, but on the back .... this is like a large backpack. With my 1m74 I felt that the bag down to the top of the legs. In short I was settling fairly high level suspenders.
Taking care of the bag a minimum it should bring you satisfaction. Personally this bag apart fragility "apparent" seams brings me satisfaction.
I will brief the council.
Two hoses to finish ..... let it roll your clothes up to win and to have non-wrinkled clothes (see Google for examples) and to stroll I suggest you put at the bottom of the flexible bag you will use to hang out. This is what I do, by taking a messenger bag. the advantage is that it does not take up space and avoids empty the backpack to the hotel ..... especially if like me you change hotel regularly.
I hope I helped you in your choice. Have a good trip;)
