I love this bag. It has a great look and is so well made. Gregory does not short on quality. Love the many compartments for all my gear. The bag holds so much without looking too bulky on my back. It's my new EDC.

I'm sort of a backpack, bag, luggage geek and over many years have purchased way too many (so my wife says). I do consider myself to be a very experienced backpack user/reviewer. I am also a pro photographer and often use backpacks (with cubes) as opposed to camera backpacks internationally. I stumbled onto this pack at a local shop and was very impressed. It is a great all rounder and so very well designed for convenience and durability. I find the 20L size to be not too big, not too small as an EDC or even for a day hike or city jaunt. It excels in perfection mainly for the smart design. I honestly can't think of one thing to change or add...that's rare for me as a backpack collector. There was nary a thread or miss sewn anything, excellent craftsmanship! I ended up choosing the brick red for a touch of fashionista...I don't feel we need to always have black, gray or navy to be cool or incognito. I also prefer having a laptop space inside the main compartment as opposed to a separate area in back. Overall I'm very pleased with this bag and it will be one of my special bags in my collection. Pretty much a go to for EDC. Well done Gregory!

Overall, great pack for everyday use and the perfect size (20L) for commuting to/from the office. It holds a 15" laptop snuggly. It does not stand upright on it's own. Items inside the pack have to arranged for perfect weight distribution for it to stand up right - in reality, no one is going to take the time to rearrange contents every time an item is added. It's doesn't have the most comfortable shoulder harness system - it's padded, but a little stiff/rigid out of the box - hopefully it breaks in and softens with a more use. Because it lacks strap keepers, there are A LOT of dangling straps. I find this annoying, so I trimmed about 8" off each strap, melted the ends, and re-sewed the ends into loops (just like the factory ends). It looks much cleaner without so many dangling straps. As long as you melt the ends re-sewing the loops isn't totally necessary (but it is good insurance against raveling). A few changes would make this pack near perfect: - Add microfiber lining to the top quick access pocket for better protection against scratching items like sunglasses. - Add strap keepers to clean up dangling straps. - Make the bottom flatter and more rigid so it will stand upright on it's own.
