The backpack for active days or weekends away
The bag's back panel fully unzips and opens like a suitcase for easier packing.

The travel backpack also has dedicated areas for electronics storage and a water bottle pocket. The Thule Aion Sling (sold separately) can be used with this backpack as a hip belt to bear extra weight and provide quick access to vital items.

Please add more colorways!
PLEASE make this in more colors! It was BY FAR the best travel backpack I tried on at REI but these colors feel bleak and male-centric! Would love similar green options to the En Route bags or even totally new colors and color blocked options -- lilac, bordeaux, spring greens, neutral beige with colorful handles or back padding, turqoise, royal blue, baby pink, something! It looks like I'm just wearing my father's backpack! For what it's worth, I love the baby blue color used inside the bag <3 we're so close!

Perfect for airline travel!
I love this backpack for airline travel. It is the perfect size and has all the right features for having at your seat. The exterior is free of straps and pouches that catch on things, yet its handles and zippered sections allow easy access to items during flight. The interior is extremely versatile. Having the waterproof pocket divider up creates distinct interior sections helpful for keeping items organized. Rolling down and tucking away the divider creates a large open space that allows the backpack to function like a small suitcase, especially if the expansion zipper is open. The zippers are the smoothest, strongest zippers I have ever experienced! Each pair of zipper pulls has a slightly different shape, which, with a little attention and practice, can allow you to identify which section you are opening even if you can’t see it (i.e., when you’re reaching under the seat in a dark airplane). Overall, the backpack has sturdy construction that seems like it will hold up well over time, and also has pleasing textures (and, again, those amazingly smooth zippers!).
I have only two caveats. First, I wouldn’t recommend this as a long-wearing daypack for hiking or sightseeing, if that's your primary activity. It’s comfortable enough for lugging through the airport but not especially comfortable or load-distributing. I am eager to strap it to my roll-aboard suitcase as soon as possible, and it has a convenient strap for doing just that. Second—and this is important!!— the chest straps come off too easily. Each of the chest straps was lost forever under an airplane seat! Thule honored their guarantee and sent me a whole new backpack because they couldn’t replace just the missing chest straps. I will be hand-sewing the chest straps into place to avoid losing them again.

Remarkable Organization in a Pack
I was impressed by the layout, organization, and easy loading this pack offered. The construction and materials seemed excellent quality. The straps were well padded and adjustable. It is a perfect carry on bag, but is too large to fit under most airline seats. Unfortunately as a petite person with neck probems, the pack was too heavy to wear comfortably. I would love to see this pack with an integrated hip belt that would distribute weight on to hips. I ended up returning this pack and settling for a smaller Thule daypack.

Very spacious
Honestly, this fits more than I expected. I’ve had the pack for just around three weeks and I have used it going back-and-forth to my parents house for 3 to 4 days and then also going to visit my girlfriend’s family in Canada for four days. I could fit three pairs of pants, a hoodie, two long sleeve shirts, three pairs of underwear, four pairs of socks, two pair pairs of boxers as well as two undershirts and my toiletries. I also fit a book chargers, and a few other small things. I fit all of that very comfortably in this bag without folding things very tightly. I would highly recommend this bag. It is very well-made and super easy to carry around and it fits a lot of stuff. for what it is worth I am a 6 foot 185 pound man so most of my clothes are a large or medium so I was quite impressed to see how much fit in here.

Laptop and iPad
Great daily use and travel backpack. I’m a finance officer and I have a laptop and iPad with me 24/7. AirPods fit in the back small pocket. I don’t feel like the laptop is about to be crushed if I bend over to pick something up like I have with other backpacks.

Great quality with sleek look
I was hesitant to buy given the price but I'm glad I did. Backpack has a quality construction with great attention to detail--I'm sure this bag will last for years of gym/work/travel use.
