What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—back ventilation causing sweat—directly echoes the video reviewers' concern about comfort during extended wear.
In their words
“Purchased back in 2021, have taken on countless trips including 10+ days internationally and the bag still looks new. Can easily pack everything I need and carry on without checking an additional bag. Friends and family have also purchased after seeing mine and hearing me rave about it.”

“This bag is THE perfect carry-on. I've used it on multiple international trips, with the most being 10 days. I love that it comes with removable waist straps, can convert into a duffel, and has so many exterior pockets. I use it on every overnight/weekend trip and it carries everything I need and more. My biggest critique -- and I would do ANYTHING to resolve this..”
