A Decade Strong
A near perfect top-loading backpack for all occasions. The adjustable top lets you accommodate packing lists of all sizes — use it as a rugged daypack for carrying gear or stuff enough clothes in to last the weekend. Perfect amount of features and pockets that help the utility without making it seem over-engineered. I have backpacks that cost twice as much as this one and I still find myself grabbing it in when I need something familiar, flexible, and reliable. After ten years of mistreatment it shows very few signs of wear although it has accumulated character the way a good rucksack should.

Perfect pack for daily life
This daypack is by far the most versatile pack I have ever owned. After getting it for a recent family trip to Colorado, it proved to me that it is perfect to be used on a hike, as a carry on, to carry your laptop and work gear and it was even used to replace our diaper bag on occasion! The compartments and the comfort of the straps make this daypack a winner for any task. Couldn't be happier!

LOVE this backpack!
By far one of the best backpacks I've had. I'm big on functionality and utility and this pack has a place for everything! The side-access pockets are great for getting in & out of your bag quickly. The front pocket is big enough for a large women's wallet. The straps are wide and comfortable. I work out of my bag and this bag is like taking a well-organized desk with you!

Love this bag
Many pockets for storing and protecting gadgets while traveling. Easy laptop access from the back is great at airport security, and the side pocket holds a water bottle perfectly.

Great for the City
I recently started working in Philadelphia and take the train to commute, then walk 3/4 mile to my office. I wanted a light backpack that would hold an umbrella, laptop, rain jacket, my lunch, and power cords and accessories. This was perfect for the daily trip.

Compact and holds everything I need
This is a well designed backpack. I like the quick access features. Plus it doesn't feel bulky on my petite 5'2 frame. My one request is that there is an option to have the side access zippers, water bottle holder, and safe pocket on the other side. Ask the customer do you carry the bag on your right shoulder for quick access with your left hand and vice versa. I use public transit to commute and it will take some getting used to, to keep the bag on my left shoulder in order to get my wallet and/or phone.

Great organization, slim design
Love the extra pocket to access computer without opening the big pocket and it's great to stay organized with a slim design! Not too many straps and very comfortable

Excellent backpack
Been using the Subterra 25L backpack for a couple weeks, and I love it.
Lots of features: fully expandable, easy access laptop zipper, lots of different pockets for clean organization, crush proof pouch is great for sunglasses and other vulnerable items. The full length inside zipper lets you easily access anything way at the bottom of the bag (all backpacks should have this). The top folding flap is adjustable so you can make the bag super compact or fully loaded. Material looks and feels high quality. Overall, the backpack is modern, stylish, comfortable and completely adaptable to whatever you need it for.
Minor downsides: two front buckles can be tedious to open and close repeatedly. The chest cross-strap could be longer for those with a wider chest.

Have had this bag for 10 years now. Still going!
The black plastic finish on the flap has only started to come off after 5+ or so years of heavy use. Might be closer to 10 years? Can't remember when I first bought this from a SAIL store in Canada. This bag still rocking! I can stuff my laptop and camera shoulder bags in here like packing cubes, it's always easy to get at everything. Side pouch fits most water bottles, and the sunglasses pouch is great for lots of stuff other than sunglasses! I walk with it 2 hours every day on my way to/from work, with a change of clothes, lunch, computer, cables, headphones, and my keys/wallet/etc. It's comfortable and durable. Love it!

Amazing commuting bag !!
Bought this bag with the intention of commuting to and from work with, that can handle a decent amount of gear, sits comfortably on my bag with little or no movement and it was a success!
Lots of small compartments for small item storage.
Storage access is very well designed, especially if you’re a bit OCD like myself.
While cycling the bag DOES NOT SHIFT on your back so it stays put while out of the saddle.
Great purchase ! Highly recommend this for the avid cyclist.
