I read all the reviews before I ordered this Zomfelt pack. Some thought it too small, or thought it looked bigger in the pictures. Not I. When I opened the package, I thought it seemed a bit small. As soon as I started packing it, I changed my mind about that. It took more clothes than I expected; and then some! A pair of Levis; two changes of T-shirts, shorts and socks; two winter weight long sleeve shirts. A week's worth of medicine; toiletries; some first-aid supplies. That much just lightly filled the main compartment, with enough room left that I could add a bit more without a struggle. I could have put my anorak in; bit instead I slipped it into the front picket where it is more quickly accessible. Plenty of room was left for chargers for computer and iPhone. They slip into pockets, just the right size--not just tossed in loose.
There's room in those areas for small, medium, and large size notebooks as well.
My computer: There is a dedicated pocket for it. I own both a 13 and 15 inch iMac Pro. The 15 inch fits in it just fine, but I prefer to bring my 13 on trips; and of course it fit with room to spare. There is enough padding, and what's more, the computer compartment is towards the front of the pack, not up against my back. It's more comfortable there; and I believe, better protected.
It's a well thought out design. The materials seem strong, substantial, without cutting corners. I believe a sternum strap would be a worthy improvement. It is a splendid backpack.
I may buy a second one, as a spare. Or in case my wife decides she has to use my backpack, like she's done with my roller bag.
