I bought this bag to use for two reasons. The first being I needed something that looked professional for international business, that actually held enough stuff that I could pack my computer, sample product, brochures, all charging cords, water bottle, snacks, a hoodie, and other things that you need when working the trade show circuit in different countries. It has delivered 100% for that purpose. It fits beneath the seat in front of you on airplanes, so you can use it as your personal item to carry on and still bring a separate carry on bag as well. The 2nd reason is to use as a daily driver when I am going from home to gym to office. It easily fits my lunch, computer, and gym clothes for this purpose.

It is also very durable construction. They have made the canvas kind of reinforced so it holds its shape. It does not fold down or crinkle like traditional canvas backpacks. This is well beyond the quality of regular back packs. This is nice because your documents or catalogs stay wrinkle free. There are so many various sizes of pockets and the zippers are all very high quality. The material itself is kind of an almost rubberized/coated type of thicker canvas that really holds its shape. They really thought of everything when making this bag. I actually purchased one for me, and when my girlfriend saw it she wanted one as well, so now we have two. She is using hers to finish her internship so she actually carries 2 lap tops inside every day on the way to the office amongst other things. It’s really so roomy! So much space inside.

I am a huge fan of this brand as you can tell, and I hope they end up making new products, like a carry on rolling bag. Perhaps a rolling bag that works with the backpack and has the same look and feel would be a nice new product!

Last comment: I have a flat water bottle from “memo bottle” and it fits inside the water bottle pocket perfectly without having to unzip the optional water bottle storage. I prefer this because it stays more sleek, and also the memo bottle has been a good product to travel with as well.

The Weekender is a great fit for me as I am an architect that travels. I love the amount of storage it carries and how sleek it looks!

From the gym to jiujitsu to a three day trip to the Olympic in Paris this bag has delivered. Exceptionally well made and practical design for both work and personal use. Yet again, another must have Sympl bag.

Best travel bag i ever had, 25L is super pratical for everything. Packaging was super safe and was delivered on mint condition to Portugal! The only bad side is the fact that you have to wait almost 3 months, but to be honest... Itsss soooo worth it!

Well made, good organization, comfortable.
