I was so excited when I found this bag. It's perfect as a carryon for a trip when you need to keep your hands free, but want to pack for a long weekend. We purchased two for a trip to Europe and cannot wait to use them. Others have seen them in our house and proceeded to purchase as well due to it's unique design (clamshell) and size.

I packed this bag for a month's long trip to Europe that including a 4-day bike adventure. At 33L it weighed 17 pounds when we left for the airport. We only had 1 suitcase for two of us and we both had backpacks as carryons. We had to move our gear through two different countries and 6 cities, including multiple hotel and AirBnb stays. My wife's pack was a loaner from a friend and it was a mess with too many pockets, and absolutely no shape. Hers packed, practically sagged to her knees. Not good.

This Urban Hiker pack kept its shape and I had stuffed everything from bike stuff to my iPad mini with keyboard and mouse. Plus I carried our plug adapters and cables for our electronics. With the different compartments it was easy to carry sketchbooks, art stuff and even a travel water color paint set. It all fit. It was the right bag, had a minimal footprint and was easy to put in an overhead bin on even the small aircraft on two legs of our trip. So rest assured if you pack it correctly this pack would definitely see you through the week if necessary, although I wouldn't recommend packing a tuxedo in this bag, but normal stuff including toiletries and electronics - no problem.

Another feature is the color, can't mistake it for one of the many black, gray, silver, beige or boring colors carried by almost everyone else. The color is distinctive and that is an asset.
Thanks for producing this bag. If the zippers hold up, it will be on my back for a very long time.

I just received my Urban Hiker Pack, and I am impressed. The construction on this thing is top notch. The zippers glide so smoothly, there's lots of versatile compartments, and the color is beautiful. I got the Colonial Blue option. This is my second Outdoor Product backpack, so I know this thing will hold up for a very long time.
