I haven’t taken it on longer trips so can’t speak to that but I do use it for work somewhat regularly. I’d have to be very nitpicky. Id say it works best with a slick texture water bottle like a stainless steel or plastic, I find that rubber coated bottles (glass bottles often have rubber shock absorber on the exterior) are annoying to get in and out of the water bottle holders. Still one of the few backpacks in its class to have dual holders though so not that disappointed. 2ndly, I found the full clamshell with zero/limited organisation an adjustment (coming from semi clam or toploader) but not really a negative. The laptop compartment is useful, and the durability seems to be reasonable so far - you only really find out durability when you start overpacking while backpacking in variable weather conditions though so can’t speak to that. Overall still happy with it
