The front of the backpack has two flat pockets, great for flat things you need quick access to.

The main compartment is 35 liters but can be expanded to 45 liters by unzipping a zipper in the lid. This can be really useful if you buy clothes or souvenirs while traveling or if you’re traveling somewhere cold where you need more bulky clothes.

It opens easily as a clam shell so you never have the problem you have with typical top loaded backpacks where the things you need are always at the bottom, making it a pain to get to.

Inside the main compartment there’s two strong straps which keep all your things in place. That way you can strap your things down tightly and not have to worry about your backpack becoming a mess.

The lid has a separate compartment that can be unzipped. I used it to store non-clean clothes and found it great for that purpose. It can be used to store a suit or shirt as well since it’s more compact and flat.

In the lid itself there are two pockets. One of them is a net pocket so it breathes. I used it for toiletries so if it got a bit wet there were no problems.

At the backside of the pack there’s a compartment that zips half way down where you can store a laptop, tablet, pens, papers, passport, etc. There are many pockets to help you keep organized. I found the number of pockets to be just right, I found them all useful.

On the back of the pack there’s one last zipper. This one is for a compartment which can be used to store the straps. I love this feature and it’s easy and fast to use. It allowed me to never have the straps out except when I needed them.

There’s a sternum strap on these by the way, it helps surprisingly much when the pack gets heavy. There’s no hip belt however, which might be a disadvantage for people who do a lot of walking or hiking.

The backpack straps are easy to set up and put away

One of my favorite things about this backpack is that it comes with a shoulder strap. It just gives you that look, not a tourist look, but just someone walking around with a shoulder bag.
