Exceptional bag for hard use
I bought this bag in August 2016 for my current work in West Africa. It is accepted as carry-on luggage on all the carriers I have used and will comfortably fit in overhead lockers. The two water bottle holders are a convenient way to save space in the main body of the bag and certainly in my location ensure that you have enough water for a day or two if you have to grab-and-go. The quality of stitching, design and materials are simply astounding. I've dragged this bag everywhere and it still looks (annoyingly) like new! The side pockets are well designed and unlike other bags I've used actually let you put items larger than an envelope on them! I've carried large bundles of local currency in them, leaving the main compartment free for clothing, laptops etc. Highly recommended.
