Amazingly durable, functional, and great design and style.

I was looking for a 30L bag to use for work and personal travels (at the same time). I need a laptop compartment that easy to access and don't require me to empty the bag to access it. I need a section that will protect books and A4 folios without getting them crushed if I put something in the bag while catching a train. The summoner has all this with the clamshell design and the separate laptop/A4+ section with its own zip access. The extra organiser pockets in the inner part are great for the work side but since the outmost part is a bit small (4 tshirts, one pair of jeans, couple of socks or underpants) you will probably end up putting your rolled up jacket or hoodie in that part like I did. So ... it might get messy in there. The material and design makes it more stealthy in city and business landscapes which is great for me who can walk from a plane to an office and then back on a train to go see friends. Backpacks are just easy to carry and run with on your back. I do think 30L in this bag are not the same as in my hiking backpack but that will do (it looks smaller). I have tested it with a week worth of clothing and work material and I am quite happy with the result (ok I had access to a washing machine). It takes a bit of time to be using properly the zippers and remember which one is the laptop one etc ... The material is really nice to the touch and looks clean. Stitches, zippers and cuts are very good, really worth the price. The padding isn't as good as some of my hiking bags but they are not made for the same amount of time on your back so I don't think it will be an issue.

I returned this bag. Read on for the pros and areas for improvement. Pros: Loved the size/volume of this bag. Exterior compression straps are a big plus. Multiple external handles. Clamshell design made it easy to pack. Good internal pockets. The design fell short in a few key areas: No external pocket for water bottle Needs a handle integrated into the shoulder straps. No key fob hook/clip. Needs full zipper access to laptop/office organizer. Laptop section needs to be self contained. All of the above should be easy fixes for the Summoner Backpack 2.0.

It looks fantastic and gets compliments. But is also low profile. Enough room for a week of travel and no worries about carry on compliance. Also, very funcional.

Huge fan of this bag! There're so many well-organized compartments (and all with zippers) that really come in handy when packing week-long trips. The material are not as crazy strong as some other Chrome bags (600d VS 1050d), but it also saves so much weight and is much easier to carry around, plus softer and flexible material means more room for squeezing extra stuffs in. The overall built quality is no doubt solid, but there were few minor sewing issues on the one I received. Customer service is very helpful though and I've got it fixed within one day.
