The backpack does the job. The laptop bag is big enough and the other compartments provide plenty of space for clothes and accessories. The Ruchsack itself is easy, and the shoulder straps are comfortable to wear, especially the cross tapes are helpful, the top is a little too far up, and can easily push the neck when wearing a thicker jacket. One thing that should change but is the description: "Comes with shoulder straps as a travel bag and backpack straps that can be tucked away." I have found no way to put away the straps which are firmly anchored, and there is no tray in which you can pack them. That is why only 4 stars from me.
