Well, For travel use, 40L is too large to haul arround a full day. Usally you find storage lockers or leave the bag at the hotel, and pack with you a 15-20L pack instead as a day carry! :). Or you can be a real minimalist and pack ultralight, just go with a 20-30L backpack. You usally don't need more. Most people tend to overpack and never even use half of what they take along for the travel!
I looked at this bag in the store and I have to agree with another commenter that it seems like it would be crazy easy to get your laptop stolen on a crowded bus or metro with this pack. The laptop compartment zipper is not lockable, and is very obvious with a huge zipper pull and very noticeable zippers with no cover over them. I also wished that it had at least an optional hip belt. Good try, but a miss by Gregory in my opinion.
Your pack is your house for long-term travel... This thing is still $130 USD. The comparable Farpoint is only $30 more... but IMO a 40L is too small for anything more than 3 or 4 weeks unless you will *only* be hot climates. The Farpoint 55 is where people should start if thinking about long-term travel.
I would never dream of starting with a 55 liter pack for long term travel. That is great for some people, I'm sure, but most definitely not for everyone.
Obviously, anyone with enough motivation (and a blade) can get into a nylon bag. Lockable zippers offer peace of mind for some, but there are plenty of workarounds to make it less convenient for an opportunistic thief to get at your belongings. One of the best tricks I've heard is to twist a small wire or bread tie while traveling. Its easy to open, but takes extra time, which a thief might not want to spend. Plus, by having a lock on your bag, you're indicating that there's something of value worth locking. In any case, 100% security is probably impossible in a nylon backpack, but with a little common sense, there are clever solutions out there, locking zippers or not.

We bought two packs two years ago on discount and it had been a great pack for us.
Great and thorough review man! Wish this pack had a bottle compartment. Looks great still!
Thanks Charles! Stay tuned for more...

Love it, that bottom compartment can be used for shoes I imagine?

What are the dimensions of the backpack?
how tall are you ? This product might be for the big man like you
Luke is about 6'1", thanks for watching!
Not even equals the Osprey travel packs, like the Farpoint Series.

This is a carry on.

no lockable zippers, way to many ways to get in easily.
You can always use a small travel lock to secure the zippers together by the hole in the zipper pulls. Best of luck!
Really I don't get it. What's the point of lockable zippers against a knife?

これ、買います！(^^)/
Looks nice but I feel like the laptop would be stolen within 5 minutes of going outside since it's so easily accessible.
Lol try again Miranda
Cool
