Saw this deal while looking for a similar backpack to the Thule Enroute backpack. Specifically, I wanted a front "dump" pocket, drink holders with the ability to compress the sides to keep the drink bottles secure, roominess for my lunch bag (laptop and tablet), and ease to organize and carry my items. This has most of the features of the Thule Enroute with some small differences (no luggage passthrough, no dedicated "liquids" pocket for any items that may leak, no zipper "security" feature). But this backpack just about everything else. The color of the backpack I received is true to the color on the website, and for a MUCH cheaper price of both a full priced Recon Luxe and a Thule Enroute which both retail $100+. I'll probably upgrade in a year to something that has all of this AND a luggage passthrough b/c I will be travelling a lot and I like the option of storing my bag on my luggage. Very happy with this purchase.

I ordered a size XS and it is not insulated as described.

True to the photos, this pack is a lovely, dirt-proof color. It feels very good on (and I have a bad back). It also has many useful features as listed. Not the least expensive pack, but a great price for what you get!
