5.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight, comfortable, very versatile - great backpack

This backpack's somewhat of a hybrid with a soft-shell suitcase, so I was interested to see how it'd perform on a 10 day overseas trip, traveling light so not checking any bags.Bottom line: It did great. Much easier packing/access than a conventional backpack, as it opens up 180 degrees so you can readily see all contents. The internal dividers divide the main compartment into two halves and provide smaller pockets - which includes the padded laptop pocket. External zippers seem high quality, a 'must have' for me. Plus it looks smart and the pricing is very fair.Only downsides: There's only one external pocket which it thinly proportioned so doesn't accommodate much bulk. You've to open the main section to access the (padded) laptop pocket - not a problem, just a consideration - and means the laptop's better protected than it would be in an outside pocket. And while it all looks/feels securely designed/manufactured, I'd like to have seen more stitching on the main straps - if I'd loaded the pack heavily (more than say 30 lbs) I'd be worried about the mechanical strain eventually causing failure.So, it's not what I'd choose for an Arctic expedition but that'd be a whole different category/price point. Been very happy with this backpack and for me, the acid test is whether I'd use for future travels? Absolutely - without hesitation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost the right pack

I really wanted to like this pack, but I think I'm going to return it. It is REALLY close to being my perfect pack, but unfortunately is falls short.Pros: I like the way it looks, it doesn't look boxy or like a camping pack. It's the perfect size; it's as big as you can fit. Placing the laptop sleeve in the middle is a great idea as it will be protected by clothing on both sides. The fabric feels sturdy. The interior layout is nice. Price is great.Cons: The shoulder straps don't feel sturdy; I'm afraid they won't make it long. The adjustment straps are also very long (good if you are beefy, which I'm not) with no way to tie them up. It needs a small exterior pocket to temporarily stash phone and ID when going through security or other similar situations. There's no key clip in any pockets. The horizontal water pocket is wierd; I can see my bottle sliding out often.

Wow this is a nice sturdy backpack that has great zippers lots of storage, expands and best of all you can carry this 3 different ways which is what I was looking for. I got the tan and it’s really a nice color. All the compartments look great. I’m super excited to carry this to Europe next summer. This is my 3rd backpack that I purchased and it’s the keeper. Really happy with it.

This backpack rocks! It has several compartments that one can use ( or not) and you can pack and unbelievable amount of clothing and gear within. Even expanded, we were able to press all the air out of it and get it into small overhead compartments on commuter airplanes. It is high quality and worth every penny. My husband who is a retired airline pilot and very experienced with all types of luggage and "precision packing: :) loved this backpack.

After extensive research, I decided on the Tolaccea backpack, and it exceeded my expectations. The construction is solid and well made, with clear attention to detail in both materials and stitching. It feels durable, reliable, and has great padding, making it an excellent choice for frequent travel.I used this backpack for a 4-day trip to Chicago and it comfortably fit all of my clothes and essentials without feeling overstuffed. The organizational layout makes packing straightforward, and the straps provided good support for carrying it throughout the trip.Equally important, the backpack met United Airlines’ carry-on requirements precisely. It fit perfectly in the overhead compartment, which provided peace of mind during boarding.Overall, the Tolaccea backpack offers high quality, practical capacity, and airline-friendly dimensions. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a dependable travel backpack.
