Thanks for a great review of a travel backpack. Opens like a book, a must for any travel pack. Size is a tad bigger than personal item allowance for airlines.
Thanks for the review! Travel backpacks are a bit personal. Some people love a ton of organization. Some people have specific use cases (like photography). I prefer to use packing cubes, so I don't need much organization besides a laptop compartment. Just a suitcase on my back. After considering all the options from Peak Design, Osprey, Cotopaxi, Tortuga, Topo Designs, Aer, Minaal, Tom Bihn, Tracke, GoRuck etc., I chose the Standard Luggage backpack. It has some smart design features. OneBagTravels does a great review.
Great insights again! I'll check out the Standard Luggage backpack right now. This Korin bag that just flowed through kickstarter was awesome too. Long review but here goes: th-cam.com/video/q91-IQjzXPY/w-d-xo.html
@@theocdtraveler oh this is GREAT news, thank you!!! I don’t carry much in that purse so it scrunches down really nicely, too. I really appreciate your help!
Oddly enough it does not….I just asked my wife as this has turned into her preferred weekend bag. I will say this, if you look at my review for the Bange backpack that has a good zippered, waterproof, water bottle holder. The problem though is once it’s packed to capacity it’s almost impossible to wedge in a water bottle. It would be nice though if there was a mesh pocket for a bottle. Sorry, long answer to a short question!
Yes! On Frontier. Same personal size bs as Allegiant and Spirit and honestly they didn’t even give me a second look. Do exactly what you’re saying: don’t overpack it….wear it as a backpack and have both hands free when you scan your ticket in and you should be good to go!
@@melissafoley1481 I hope it all works out for you. If you get a chance let me know how it goes. I’m always overly paranoid about that kind of stuff but have pushed the envelope and never had an issue. Safe travels!

Hi! So my question is whether it would fit a small cross carry purse in the front larger pocket. My travel purse is 10X8x2
Definitely. Like a Lulu or crossbody should fit in that pocket. Might have to force the zipper a little but you’ll be fine!

My pleasure!!
Any outer water bottle holder?

have you taken it on any flights yet? I am going to use mine in a few weeks and was hoping to use as personal bag. I just won't over fill it.

@@theocdtraveler Thank you for responding! I am looking forward to using this bag for ease of travel.
