Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Laptop sleeve
There is a dedicated laptop sleeve (not padded) inside that fits up to a 15" laptop.
Tortuga recommends that it's used for short distances only.
Pro Lightweight considering the features
It's one of the few packable backpacks that offers a padded backpanel and shoulder straps, but still keeps the weight reasonable at .7 of a pound.
Cons
Con Packs down to around the size of folded shorts
A sacrifice you're making for the added features (like the back and shoulder padding) is that it doesn't save space as much as other options. It folds down to 9 x 8.5 x 2" (23 x 22 x 5 cm), about the size of a folded pair of shorts.
