At first I love how the bag suited my daily commute needs, it was the reason for buying it anyway. But quickly got into the habit of taking it for day hikes with my camera and its size is perfect for overnight light hike ins or packing for a few nights out at a friends. The cell phone/sun glass pocket is easily accessible while the bag is on your back even keep a quick access cards I need up there. The bottom pocket is a bit of a mystery to me still. I've found it's a good place to keep things you wont need regularly or that you tend to grab when stopped to get into it.

Given it's designed with a sleeve for a laptop and other urban peripherals, it is missing quick access pockets for rail/security passes, wallet and mobile. Currently I have to remove the pack just to access those items especially the passes.

The description on this site does not match the pack: Water Bottle Pockets -YES Grab Handle - Top padded grab handle for quick and comfortable carry -- HANDLE NOT PADDED NO Scratch-free Zippered Pocket - A scratch-free zippered pocket is the perfect place to store sunglasses or electronics -- NOT A FEATURE OF THIS PACK -- a bib drawback because there is nowhere convenient for your mobile phone. Front Organizer Pocket -YES Lower Zip Compartment - Lower zip compartment at the bottom of the pack contains a removable PowerHouse™ cord organizer - YES Blinker Light Attachment - YES Laptop Compartment - YES Internal document sleeves - YES Top U-Zip Access - YES Zippered Stash Pocket - YES

I just bought this bag and was immediately struck by the unique landscape. I'm packing for a long work trip and ordered this to supplement a carry on bag. I haven't left yet, but even just packing is a different approach. At first I was puzzled by the smallish bottom compartment; I wish it could fit shoes. The power pack cube is stowed there but with that component inside there's not much room for anything else so I opted to stow that in the main compartment and use the bottom pocket as a convenience pocket. I think it'll be convenient on the plane with the back stowed under the seat so that the bottom pouch faces out, for easy access to plane essentials. Other strange thing is that the top of the bag is so wide. The bag almost looks as if it's upside down shape wise, but there is something that seems to 'work'. I just hope the top fits under the seat! If it's annoying, that could break the deal. Capacity looks pretty solid, but if you are used to having spacious side / front pockets on previous bags for organization you will need to adjust your approach. Again, I'm open to the change but it may not be for everyone. This is really a bucket to dump into but the multiple laptop/tablet etc pockets (there essentially 3) certainly help. The secondary laptop zipper access is a great idea. The front organizer pocket is small. Really comfortable to wear, and I love the top shoulder strap adjustment capability. I bike casually and think it will work well but haven't actually tested yet. WHERE IS THE SUNGLASSES POCKET? description says its there but I can't find it. Nor can I find an owners manual online for this model bag. Odd.
