Bought this bag specifically for a trip as it has most of the features I was looking for. I tried three backpack style travel bags before settling on this one. Meets TSA & airline requirements and fit under the seat. Holds a camera body, couple lenses and used one of the lens cutouts for batteries, charger, accessories. Easily held my 14” laptop in the rear zipper pocket. It will hold it while in a sleeve! But will take up a little more space. Was able to throw several misc. items in top compartment & the spring clip latch is the perfect solution. Holds it closed and feels very sturdy and durable. I didn’t think it was a big deal but was surprised to discover the padding on the back felt really good. It’s formed like two cushioned side rails that allow cooling air to flow across your back. The other bags with my laptop inside felt like a board was strapped flat across my back. Didn’t expect that. This bag is much more comfortable to carry.I agree with some other reviews in that I wish the bottom rear pocket had real clips instead of the snap in place magnets. It would definitely make it feel more secure. I will say I didn’t notice any issues with it coming open on its own unwantedly but did have some problems getting them to connect when I stuffed probably a little too much in the pocket.It’s not a carry all your gear bag but for trips and outings where you want to have your basics & carry them with you comfortably I highly recommend this bag.
