I have taken the backpack on multiple trips varying from weekends to a little over a weeklong. It has stood the test of time going through all these trips, and I have had it for more than 2 years. The quality of the backpack has stayed pristine, and I appreciate all the functionalities built into each part of the backpack. Whether I overpack and use the backpack as a carry-on I can easily fit a week's worth of clothes or pack a little less but fit it right snug underneath the seat in front of me when I fly. I continue to get compliments from my friends as well at how handy or premium my backpack is when I use it. Anytime a friend asks for an everyday carry backpack this Sympl 35L is always my recommendation. It really has become my daily use whenever I need to pack for any length of trip. I am very impressed and excited to see Sympl create more high-quality products that I hope to purchase in the future.

First off I'd like to say that the sympl team is great and very responsive. I emailed them letting them know I had an upcoming trip to Europe and needed my bag before the pre order would ship. They promptly responded and were able to get me a bag before I had to leave.

I used this backpack for a 7day trip to Croatia and it was everything I could ask for. Zippers are sturdy, many organizational pockets and it holds so much. I only brought this backpack for an entire week (laptop, clothes, shoes, headphones etc). The materials used to make the bag seem high quality making it very durable a sleek.

Only complaint about the bag is that when fully loaded it sticks out pretty far and can be uncomfortable on your back after a while. I think that's what the shoulder strap is meant for but I prefer not to use it.

Absolutely essential travel bag for three to four day journeys. It has already been across Europe with me and perfect for short haul trips. It also has doubled up as a really good kit bag for jiujitsu and surfing. A must have.

I bought this bag several months ago after buying the Sympl sling and boy was I impressed! I've been on several trips with it and there is so much room that I was able to avoid having a checked bag. I can't recommend this one enough! I'm ready to buy the 20L bag when it comes back.

Love everything about it. Extremely high quality materials and design. I’m able to fit my computer, drone, and all my electronics with ease, while still leftover space for anything extra. The clamshell opening is so convenient, I hated stuffing things down in my old backpack. Only complaint is I feel the water bottle holder could be a tad bigger, but it’s not really a big issue. 5/5
