I needed something that fit under an airplane seat, and I had previously owned the larger model of this when I was younger so I knew that it was well organized and the bright orange interior makes everything easy to see.
I added a hip belt from Aer to be easier on my now-older back, and it is absolutely perfect. It is not as light as more expensive/technical fabric backpacks, however, I am extremely pleased with it for airports and hotels and don't plan to take it up any mountains anyway. It holds its shape, it's a good price, and I'm more comfortable shoving it with my foot under an airplane seat than a thinner fabric. I wouldn't hesitate to check it, it feels tough.
It fits perfectly under a seat and holds SO much. I particularly like that it has multiple compartments. The main compartment opens like a suitcase, but there are a large zippered pockets on the outside that open like a backpack so you don't have to flip the whole thing open in the airport.
At the same time, it is not "over-organized" with tiny pockets or weird super-specific compartments. It works great for me!

Mother Lode Travel BackpackIt's everything you wish your wheeled carry-on is but isn’t. It has tons of strategically placed pockets inside and out so you can organize your life on the go. We’ve thought of everything so you don’t have to stress about anything-at least, when it comes to packing. Pro Tip: it fits our 6pc Classic Packing Cube Set like a glove. It’s also expandable with external compression straps so even when packed to the max just buckle cinch down to ensure it still fits in the overhead bin. That said, because this backpack is carry-on compliant, you’ll never lose your bag. Ever.

Great roomy bag that fits under the plane seat!
I wanted to get a bigger backpack that coud still fit under the plane seat when traveling. I read many positive reviews and decided to try it out. The backpack looks big, but I was easily able to fit it under the seat. I did not overstuff it, but it was full. I flew American and United. Beautiful color and comfortable to carry around in the airport. It has a strap to hook it to my rolling carryon which I liked. The backpack has a lot of room in the main compartment. I used packing cubes and could get a lot packed. Lots of pockets to stow your stuff and the laptop pocket it the back was very convenient. Key fob leash was handy. Very well made and sturdy zippers and straps. Would absolutely recommend!
