I returned from a trip to Brazil, Argentina, and Antarctica and used my brand-new Subrosa backpack. It arrived days before I left. It was perfect for fitting under the seats on the airplane. It carried everything I needed on the long flights plus my critical needs if my small checked bag didn't make the trip. I found the bag sturdy and easy to use. I particularly liked that the front section opened up flat. It worked out okay that the middle section opened only some of the way. The water bottle carrier is a good size and holds my bottle very snugly. I did use the front clips for support when walking in the airports. The backpack was comfortable, and the back support and the shoulder straps were great. On the very last day, one of the little black pulls came off the zippers, but I believe it's fixable ~ it caused a bit of a hassle for a few moments, but not a huge deal. I watched a review on this pack before buying it. It's the reason that I decided to give it a try. I did pack a light backpack for running around on my outings as this one is too heavy for that, plus I had it packed for travel. In addition, I didn't bring my computer along, but I believe it would have been very safe and easily accessible in this bag. I'm a happy camper with this bag. I love it and look forward to more years of travel with it. Well done, Gata

Great experience, even better backpack
