It's the perfect size, i fit a weeks worth of clothes in it and there's many compartments. It also fits perfectly as a carry on bag. depending on what you carry it's a work out on the legs after using it you'll feel it. but it's easy to load and just take off. It's also sexy lol.

This bag is perfect for me. I wanted a bag that I could put my laptop and clothes in. I can now travel with just one carry-on. It's great. When I get to my hotel, I unload my clothes and then use the bag for my laptop. It is not a standard backpack. It is really designed for business travelers.

Just got this pack in a few days ago. I bought this instead of the TNF "Box Shot" pack because I thought the extra space would come in handy. I'm using it for a 10 day trip through California with the TNF Longhaul 30 for the rest of my stuff. What i am packing in the overhaul 40: I have a 17" Macbook Pro it fits very nicely into the first compartment (I won't use this compartment for anything else, maybe a magazine for the plane), Nikon D80 with an extra lens which I am keeping an an older Tamrac camera bag at the bottom of the main compartment of the Overhaul (which can grow larger with the compression zipper undone), small flashlight (you never know right?), and I have successfully gotten a Sunpak 9002TM tripod into the main compartment along side the camera bag but it does stick out of the top of the bag a little but when I put the pack on with all of the previously mentioned items loaded up it feels pretty good. With these items in the pack I could easily fit a pair of mid sized shoes if that gives you any idea.

The bottom compartment listed as "laundry" area is bigger than i thought it would be. You can easily still load it up with all the cords and cables you need for your computer or.... Laundry (1 shirt, 1 pair of shorts).

The arm straps are very good quality and so is the handle at the top (very rugged). The back has so many strap adjustments it will blow your mind! It could take you 10 minutes before your done getting it perfect if your that kind of person. To tell you the truth I think it has too many adjustment straps and they are all excessively long! No one will ever need to have the arm straps or waist strap that loose. My temporary solution is to just leave the rubber bands that are holding them wrapped up. The compartment on the arm strap probably won't hold to many cell phones. But its big enough for a granola bar.

This packs construction is second to none! Very well thought out and it will suite the business traveler as well as the adventurer. I bought the all black one and its very discrete and won't catch tons of attention which is how I like it. The red inside is a great transition color. When I'm done with my trip ill write if I find anything more that may be worth noting. PS. Backcountry.com was great fast delivery.

excellent quality and fit my needs perfectly!

Took this on an international trip with a lot of connections. Fit everywhere. I bought this instead of a Tunni to the sum of $350.00 and to be honest this works very well as a carry on for everything you do not want to put in a checked bag. The lower zipper portion at the base at up all my tech gadget wires, cords, and bases like it was no big deal (it is the size of about 3/4 a brown paper lunch bag) and it does have an expandable zipper that adds about 3 inches to the width of the main compartment. I do not think anyone really makes a backpack compatible carry-on that works with a computer without having it put a lot of pressure applied to the computer when your pack is full and it is pressed against your back. So, just bought an "incase" for my black 13" Macbook and that lightweight nature of it was a perfect companion to TNF carry on. I do not like the roller carry on's and the ribs that just add weight are just annoying. I like to put on a pack and go. This pack is really big when you fill it and I thought they might make me check it. They did not. I love it. You can put 2 days of clothing, extra pair of shoes (not boots), shaving kit, and travel pillow, blanket (silk REI one) and a lot of other stuff in it. I loved using it and the expandable zipper does make a huge difference if zipped or unzipped. The way the backpack straps are made are so clever with quick disconnect clips and the waist strap comes off without having to cut it off like have with so many backpack type deals. Also, if you have a roller carry on---you can put your pullout handle through the packs back either vertical or horizontal. Best part of this piece of luggage. When you are done or empty it...flatten it and put it away. So, glad I went with this NF gear instead of the Tunni.
