Customer feedback reports positive impressions of quality, comfort, size and value, while storage capacity and durability receive mixed comments. For someone considering this 27-litre pack, the positive size comments are relevant to everyday carrying, but the mixed storage feedback means the stated two compartments and laptop sleeve may not provide the organisation every buyer wants.
