Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

A week after my awesome trip to Thailand I felt it was my duty to give credit where it is due, and this bag deserves a lot of praise! The detatchable daypack really provided me with a sense of security during my trip, allowing me to have my important documents (in waterproof housing) with me at all times being that I was staying mostly in hostels with little security. Yet the pack was durable and light weight enough that it didn't become a nuisance or something to worry about. I was in Thailand during Songkran Festival, the local New Year which has turned into the biggest water fight in the world, spanning 3 days! The material of this pack is slightly water resistant and did defend my clothes from getting wet from small amounts of water thrown on it for a short period during transit. The extreme heat of Thailand probably was to thank for that as well though lol. My day pack did end up getting soaked through at one point and quickly dried out for the next days use! I cannot recommend this pack enough for its versatility and durability, alone! Another thing I wanted to touch on was the ability to use this pack as a carry on while flying. I have seen a lot of debate about the issue and while I cannot speak for all airlines, the two Asian companies I flew with never even gave my pack a 2nd look! I flew with EVA Air and Air Asia and the M/L pack fit just fine in each compartment. I did keep the day pack on me as my hand luggage. (see picture) Hope this helps!
