Look no further. This lightweight backpack is more than I expected. So much so, I ordered one for my granddaughter. It's just what I needed for our upcoming cruise. Whoever created this backpack is a genius. It is perfectly designed, offers more than adequate storage and external pockets, a compartment to carry a water bottle or tumbler, and as a bonus, there are additional bags to organize your toiletries. It holds just as much as a small hard or soft sided carry-on suitcase, but it's more practical. Above all, I inspected this backpack thoroughly. The in and outside stitching, mesh pocket material and zippers are high quality. This backpack is absolutely phenomenal!
