Cons
The shoulder strap has the worst quality of any backpack i’ve ever seen. Poor stitching in this area, needs reinforcement. The chest strap does not cross my chest, it crosses right in the middle of my neck.

The front main pouch is small and hard to access unless unzipped. My wife's 17 inch just barely fits into the pouch, and hers is much thinner/smaller than mine is. Do not get for 17” laptop.
Advertises wrong. Misinformes clients. Why didn't they do that at the factory? Please cut that off.
