Infinite space!
I bought this bag to cycle to work. I needed space for laptop and accessories (charger, mouse, keyboard, headset), as well as clean clothes and a pair of shoes. This all fits in easily. The straps around your chest and waist ensure that the bag always fits perfectly, even when heavily loaded. Nice also that there are deep ventilation channels in the foam on the back. Even though I can shower at work, it's nice not to arrive with a wet back already

Good waterproof comfortable bag but curious about durability
Bag ordered online and was able to view in shop the next day with no obligation. Beautiful bag and decided to buy it. In use, I found that the bag does not have enough pockets, especially on the outside of the bag I miss a small pocket. Inside the bag there is a nice laptop compartment with a zipped pocket on top, but it doesn't hold much once the laptop is inside. On the outside, the bag is already letting go of a little thread after two weeks of use. That is a pity. Otherwise very comfortable on the back and waterproof, which makes me happy with my purchase.

Nice airy everyday bag.
Super pleasant everyday backpack, however, an extra pocket, accessible from outside against the back for example, would be ideal for quickly storing your phone safely. I also miss the fastening systems on the chest and hip of steel. As these are made of plastic, I'm afraid these will quickly break. Previously, I had a Brooks bag for 13 years that did have these advantages, and despite it being absolutely worth the money (€220), I needed something new. The price-quality ratio of this backpack is top notch!
