The pocket layout is brilliantly engineered so gadgets, documents, everything fits neatly. It feels like magic how much it holds for its size.

Extremely well built for the price, better than some other big brands. Sleek, understated but highly functional.

The PC compartment has three pockets of its own, so you can store chargers and cables without needing a separate pouch. The main compartment is spacious enough for 2 to 3 days' worth of clothes.

My favorite thing is that the fabric is structured enough to stand upright on its own, even completely empty. My 15.6 inch work laptop fits perfectly, even though it's thicker than most.

So many pockets, it's a lifesaver. I transferred everything from my old backpack and it all fit with room to spare. It's noticeably lighter and less tiring to carry.

This is the second MNL backpack we've gotten and it's still very impressive in terms of design and functionality. I'm sure it will last just as well as the first one. The bag was very well packed and protected.
