Summary:
This backpack carries really well for the amount of stuff I put in it, which makes it perfect for riding a bike or snowboard to the spot with a lot of gear. The ICU makes it easy to organize camera gear so it’s well protected. I’ve actually crashed my bike 3 times wearing it with a full load and it’s all been fine… I’ve had it fit in every airplane overhead compartment I’ve stuff it into. When I’ve traveled with tripods and umbrellas in the pockets, I took them out and put them in the overhead compartment separately. If you’re traveling with a snow shovel, put the shovel blade and shaft in a checked bag. It would make it hard to fit in an overhead compartment and TSA would most likely have an issue with it in a carry on bag.

These packs are really nice and there is not much on the market that really competes in the same space. Sadly, F-Stop is perpetually out of stock and their customer service leaves a great deal to be desired.
