Almost perfect
Truly a great product. There are only two gripes I have. The smaller one is the lack of a hip belt strap. Not a huge deal since overall it carries weight very well, but a hip belt strap would've made it that much better. My bigger complaint is the lack of a water bottle pocket big enough to carry a wide nalgene. None of my water bottles are thin enough for the water bottle pockets and I end up having to store them in my pack.

Great Backpack with Plenty of Space
Was naturally very curious when Nemo released a a line of backpacks. I have to say the padding is extremely comfortable in this, and the clamshell opening is great. I wish the top accessory pocket was a tad bit bigger, and I feel like they could have made the main compartment not taper so much at the end, to create a little more volume within the pack. The shoe compartment is a good addition. One other piece is when the pack is full, it does make it difficult to slip a water bottle in.

All about the organization
I was drawn to this pack, because it is recyclable and I have tended to like what NEMO has produced over the years. I have only used it for about a week and on one flight, so my experience isn't exhaustive. I was surprised by how large the vertical zipper pocket is. I found it somewhat challenging to keep items organized in that pocket and discovered items can disappear in there. I have yet to find a use for the zipper pockets contained therein, though I suspect I will. I like pockets. I love the very deep stretch mesh pockets for my water bottle or a wind breaker or a snack. I have yet to try a fatter water bottle, so the pockets may not work for everyone. These sorts of pockets on a panel loading pack don't always work well. I find that these do. I do not yet now how well the pack will handle rain/snow, but I am tempted to stash a small pack cover in the zippered bottom compartment. This compartment intrigues, me but like a few of the other nooks and crannies I have yet to figure out how best to use it. The two shortcomings for me are the price and the lack of a single, large compartment. I find the price a bit steep, but you are getting a pack with a lot of features and I am willing to pay more for something I know can/will be recycled. The vertical zippered pocket is large, but there will certainly be 30L packs that can carry more stuff. The price you pay for all the organizational features is a diminished carrying capacity and a limit to the size of any one item you can carry. Overall, I like it and suspect it will become my EDC backpack.

High quality construction
The bag is noticeably high quality form the stitching to the zippers and fabric. The organizational structure takes a bit to get used to with the main vertical zip. It lends itself to be used almost like a duffel. I wish there was perhaps one more tech compartment, but this is a small gripe. Overall, very satisfied.

Clean look with lots of compartments
I use this bag for work and am loving it more each day. First the bags sits upright when you put it down. It's got a ton of internal compartments so I can categorize the items I take to work and get to them easily. The bag carries a ton of stuff but wears well and doesn't feel heavy on my back. Very well thought out and would recommend it to anyone.

So Far So Good!
I got this backpack to replace my trusty GoLite pack (yes, I've have it that long...) for work, and I was specifically looking for a laptop bag with better back ventilation. In that regard this backpack is perfect! The shoulder straps and back panel are super airy. I also like the expandable front pocket--it's big enough for a quick grocery trip or beer run on the way home. I haven't yet used it for travel but if I'm on a "personal item" trip rather than a "carry-on" trip it will be my go-to. The double water bottle pockets are great, and the black fabric is more of a dark, textured charcoal grey which looks super classy and much more understated than all of the brightly-colored "look at me, I travel!" bags from other brands. Between this and the Double Haul, I hope Nemo does a UL 50ish liter backpack next!

Good for everyday carry
I bought this for a camping trip for an easy carry pack. The straps worked well to keep the bag secure and in place. I now use the bag as an everyday carry when I go to work. Only issue that I feel could be improved is the "J" Hook for the bag expansion. It works but can be a pain at times when wanting to adjust. Overall its a great bag and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple backpack for a carry-on for a flight or for everyday carry items.

Great travel companion
Bought this backpack for traveling, locally and for taking as carry on at airports. Super comfortable straps, love the hidden pocket and the opening to put on suitcase. All the pockets are perfect, only thing i would change is the front material. I feel like it will dirty easily, maybe in the future a slick water repellent material like the duffle bags.

Stellar travel companion
Great little travel companion. I love the versatility that the loops on the top and bottom allow for (e.g. changing the bags volume). I can have it set to roughly 20 L capacity for work and increase it for flights or other travel. Fabric is top notch and feels sturdy!

Great all purpose backpack
Excellently designed and well made backpack that allows you to carry a multitude of things due to its ability to be configurable. Helmets, hiking boots, or for travel, this pack can do it all. Impressed with the pack and it seems durable to last for many trips to come.
