This backpack was pretty useful when it came to traveling in Europe without much worry of my supplies being stolen. Sturdy with plenty of space for the basics and then some. However, I do not recommend wearing this backpack for too long if you have a lot of stuff to carry. This anti-theft backpack has a thick metal like strap covered by the fabric strap. This makes the straps hurt the shoulders and around to the armpit/chest area. Other then that, I like enjoyed the backpack. Obviously the more use you it, the more obvious the strap issue comes up. Other then that, I really like the multiple pouches it has and the discrete black color that looks pretty good with any outfit. Kept my mind at peace while traveling.
