Question 2

Can I take this on a plane as well as a carry-on suitcase?

Accepted Answer

You need to check with the airliner with whom you're traveling. Most allow a carry on suitcase and a backpack that you can stow under your seat. This one is so lightweight it is easy to manage. If you are a woman with a purse too,  you'll have to put it in the backpack. I take a small one with the important stuff so I can put it in the backpack during the flight.

Question 3

Some reviewers state there is no zippered pocket inside the main compartment, and some say there is. Which is it?

Accepted Answer

I ordered the orange one, they should be all the same.  My interpretation of your question implies there is a hidden zipper inside the main/large compartment? ? NO.. Now the large/main area of the pack does have a fairly large pocket inside, to separate items, but this does not have a zipper at the top.  This inside pocket measures ~12 inches  up from the bottom when flat, and is made of similar gray material,  Listing all the zippers in this bag:  There are 4 total:   #1 - One large zipper that begins 1/2 on one side and travels up over the top then 1/2  down the other side.  #2 pocket- Top half of the bag on the outside with 2 pleats which the words, "New Outlander" are printed.   #3 pocket- Lower portion of the bag, bottom 1/2 with the words "Field Operation 35L printed on this pocket.  Now looking inside this pocket is another smaller zipper, the #4 pocket  It has a small mesh area.  This is also displayed in the pictures, and seen especially when the entire pack folds into this lower pocket, therefore turning it inside out,  this smaller mesh zippered area is now on the outside.  This little pouch also has a small handle at the top.-  There are two mesh pockets on the outside of the bag, one on each side that begin at the bottom and measure up just over 8 inches each.  Now the shoulder straps also each have a smaller pocket which I keep a whistle/lanyard in one and mace in the other... just below where the gray strip of cord across the shoulder strap is and  where I place a carabiner.   These small pockets on the shoulder straps are made of mesh as well and pleated.  If you click on the orange bag picture, look closely , these pockets are visible.  No padding provided in the shoulder straps.  Attempted to include all pockets, zippers.  This is a great bag, especially for the price.  Hope this is helps in your decision to purchase. D-

Question 4

This might seem like a weird question, but would this be strong enough to hold a laptop? Is there room for one?

Accepted Answer

The bag is roomy enough to hold a small laptop however it would offer the laptop virtually no protection since there is no sleeve and the material on the bag is designed to be lightweight and thin. Also the bag will pull on your back a significant amount since it's not designed to carry a heavy load. The straps feel like they are great quality so I don't think they would rip or anything like that but it may not be comfortable to carry for long distances. I don't think this is a great bag for a laptop as it is not designed for one but could it carry a laptop probably, could it carry a laptop comfortably and safely probably not.
