Getaway Carry-On Backpack

Extremely disappointed. I bought this bag for a month long international work trip and a zipper broke during my very first flight (within an hour). The bag was half empty, so I can’t imagine how many zippers would break if you filled it as full as possible. Cheap garbage, do not buy this bag.

This is a great backpack, and I even have two of them. However, the second (most recent) one that I purchased within the last year apparently has dry rotted netting. As a result, the cupholder and inside pockets are disintegrating after light use (4-5 times in the past year). I believe this is a defect because the older, same model that I have does not have this issue at all. I was told by Nordstrom Customer Service that because I purchased this item at Nordstrom Rack, I am unable to return it even though it’s defective. I also checked the manufacturer’s website, and they do not accept returns after 30 days. For this reason, I cannot recommend purchasing this product.

This backpack is well organized, with separate compartments for lap top and tablet. It would work well for packing for a short trip, too. Unfortunately, the bag was tagged as falling under the hazards of California Proposition 65. I don't recall seeing anything about this online when I was reviewing the backpack. I returned it to the store and checked all the backpacks. The only ones that were tagged as falling under California's Proposition 65 were made by this manufacturer.

I love the size and different organization this bag offers. I bought this and one from Target at the same time for a 2 week trip to Portugal & I will end up returning this bag. I like that there was a mesh water bottle carrier, but with the same dimensions, the other bag fit more. This is a bit loose with the structure of the bag until you fill it to brim.
