Excellent, slightly larger than expected
Quality is not in question — it's outstanding. Just measure carefully before ordering, because it's a little roomier than I pictured from the listing photos.

I had a well-known European label before this and honestly can't find where the extra $180 went. This does the same job and the warranty is better.

I compared four brands before ordering and this is the only one where the materials feel better in person than in the photos. Stitching is dead straight and the hardware has real weight to it.

Had a question about capacity before a trip to Iceland. Called, spoke to a person in about fifteen seconds, and got a straight answer. Ordered on the spot.

Took it through three countries and two train systems. Zero complaints, and it looks smart enough for dinner reservations straight off the platform.

Ordered Monday afternoon, on my porch Wednesday morning in a recycled kraft mailer with a handwritten thank-you. Small thing, but it makes the brand feel real.

Questions & answers
Honestly, yes for some people. If you want one bag for transit and one for the day, pair it with something in the 12–18 litre range.
