This is a very good quality piece and it’s designed to meet comfort and aesthetic. It is a spacious bag. I love that I can have separated work items like laptop etc from a gym kit or anything else, even a grocery. Easy accessible compartments and solid waterproof material. Definitely highly recommended for an active person. This is not going to be my last purchase from the brand.

Backpack is really great. It only has a few weaknesses which is why I only put 5 stars. Maybe some people would say theses flaws are bot important or doesn't matter.

To me, the accessibility to the inside of the backpack is good, but the flaw here is the zipper which in some cases can feel a bit hard to close or to open especially if the backpack isn't full.

Itself the backpack is heavy so with 2x1.5 litter shoes 2 towels 2 swimsuits and other accessories such as chargers sunglasses, you easily reach the full capacity and a really heavy backpack, it's bot a bad thing but you rapidly (depending on your musculature) feel uncomfortable or the urge to take off the backpack. For me after 4 hours of having in on the back with that confiogave above is my maximum before I have to take a little break.

Shoes compartiment really take alot of space, so having one pair of shoes there removes 1/3 or 1/4 of your backpack's capacity.

I thinkthis backpack doesn't fit everyone especially due to it's important weight and huge size which can look weird on different backs.

A superbly well-thought-out layout. Very comfortable to wear. The combination for gym and office is very well done. I love the concept. There's one thing I would personally change: the plastic fasteners. I don't yet know how long they'll last. Great product overall. Well done.

I’ve been using my MOUS backpack for about a month now, and I absolutely love it!

I mainly use it for my daily commute to work, carrying two water bottles, an umbrella, my laptop, and other valuables that I can safely store in the well-designed inside pockets.

What I love most is the combination of a cool, stylish look and a simple, elegant design. It’s also incredibly versatile! I’ve already used it for a weekend trip, carrying my running shoes, sports clothes, and other essentials.

The backpack is super comfortable to wear, and the magnetic chest buckle makes it fit even better.

At first, I wasn’t sure about choosing the cream colour instead of blue. But now I’m really glad I did! I usually wear a black coat or a dark suit, and the lighter colour creates a really nice contrast.

I’m so happy with this backpack that I’m actually thinking about buying another one in a different colour!

Great design, great quality, and incredibly practical. Highly recommended!

I love the backpack overall. The back is very comfortable but protects the internals well. The only negative is that the bag is rather tight in terms of width so when travelling the zippers are hard to close and the rubber knobs on the end came off for me when tugging to close the bag.

Backpack seems robust and is fairly functional. The space for shoes and the side zipper for accessing the main space are very useful. I was a little worried about the weight, but this hasn't been a problem and the backpack sits comfortably on the back.
On the not so positive side, I find the front pocket and the laptop compartment (incl. the tablet sleeves etc) rather cramped (very narrow). Last, the zippers feel a little hard, hope they will not break in a year's time (but no problems so far).
Overall, content with the buy bot as excited as I thought I would be (not yet at least)

Top tas! Direct na levering kon ik hem gebruiken voor een 3 daagse city trip in Duitsland. Werkspullen (laptop en ipad met alle kabels/spullen) konden mooi in de daartoe behorende vakken. Goeie bescherming. Kleding en andere losse spullen in de grote zak. Lekker op maat aan de passen. Ging heel goed in het vliegtuig bij de handbagage. Lekker stevig op de rug bij de lange wandeltochten. En na de reis weer in de korten voor dagelijks gebruik. Heel veelzijdig en een aanrader!

Voor de liefhebber die wellicht wat compartimenten of vakjes mist. Genoeg vakken aanwezig in het compartiment voor de laptop en voor de grote zak gebruik ik etuis voor aparte spulletjes. Via de zijkant ook eens makkelijk benaderbaar.

Geen seconde spijt van deze tas.

Great backpack with good compartments for small ins and outs. Would benefit to have the passport pocket as n other backpacks for easy access to passport. Don’t quite fully understand the inside water bottle compartment as it bumps into the exterior water bottle pocket. Maybe I am using it incorrectly? Otherwise a great bag that protects electronics and provides space . Great for travel

4 stars instead of 5 after six months of traveling. Why? Well, on the positive side it's built like a tank. This should last several years. On the con side, it's built like a tank; it's very stiff, on the heavy side in my opinion (when you load it with typical things you need to get to it gets weighty fast) and not very flexible. I love the roll top and especially love the shoe compartment (which I use for my noise canceling headphones because my size 14 shoes are not getting in there). It's not exceptionally stylish IMO, but I suppose stylish enough (there are other practical bags that are better looking). The HUGE disappointment for me if the narrow, single strap to hook on your wheelie handle. This is just dumb and seems like an afterthought when to most of us who travel a lot it's essential. On a number scale I'd give this 6.5 out of 10. Solid, close, but no cigar. I probably won't be using this much in the future frankly. Too much marketing behind it maybe? A lot of potential though on the plus side.

Excellent bag with serous enclosed protection, just the right amount of access points and carries very well. I brought this after I received excellent and exceptional customer service with a replacement iPhone case. I’m sure is any issues arrive with this backpack they will be just as attentive. 5*****

1) this bag misses a very crucial feature: a grab handle at the top of the bag, probably combined with the hang loop.

2) the back part for laptop and other electronic stuff is way too big.

3) bag is way too heavy

4) hard to access side pockets

What is really really good: 1) the bottom part separated for shoes. 2) the zipper for fast access to the main bag storage

Solid backpack - I’ve only just used it since purchase. If u are looking for an all round heavy duty pack, then this is the one. Holds plenty, safely. Easy to access without opening up the whole thing. Slick storage all gear protected.

J'ai remarqué plein d'espaces où la couture était animée alors que je venaisde recevoir le sac, les fermetures eclair se bloquent parfois meme si il n'y a rien dedans, ce qui n'estpas quelquechose que j'aimerais voir quand j'achèteun sac à dos à un tel prix. Toutefois, il est très confortable et pratique dans la vie de tout les jours, sans ces defauts, il serait parfait.

Initially, the order had been dispatched but never reached the recipient, so I contacted customer support and they promptly assisted me in a very courteous and kind manner; in just under ten days, I received my package. Five stars above all for the customer service and for the kindness of the staff, especially Meg, whom I spoke with.
