Perfect for Business or Weekend Trip: This bag is designed to fit perfectly under airplane seats, which makes it a great carry-on bag. You can easily pack enough clothes for 2-3 nights of business travel, plus your gym clothes and shoes, and the built-in garment bag keeps everything in its place. The bag's design spreads the weight evenly and has a firm structure, so you won't feel things poking into your back when you carry it. What I really like is how comfortable it is to carry - the shoulder strap has thick padding, and the handle is shaped to fit your hand nicely, even when you're carrying it for a long time.

Superior Organization System: The FTL Original bag has the best organization system I've seen in any travel bag. It has specific spots for everything - from your laptop to your work clothes - which makes packing much easier and less messy. The bag has easy-to-reach pockets and a built-in packing system that makes good use of all the space in its 30-liter capacity. You can tell it's well-made by looking at all the details, like the soft laptop pocket that won't scratch your computer and the carefully padded sections that protect your clothes.

Thoughtful Features: I feel like the designers of this bag thought of everything. The shoe pocket has air holes to ensure breathability for sweaty items, and the hardware is high quality and sturdy. There are two easy-to-reach pockets for items like keys, passports, or headphones, and a water bottle holder that makes accessing important items quick and easy. It also has a strap that slides over your rolling suitcase handle, making it easy to move through airports, and special protection to keep your work clothes looking neat

Sleek and Professional Designs: I was a big fan of the minimal branding on the FTL. It doesn't look out of place at work or client meetings. The bag keeps its shape and looks neat even when it's full. I found the materials to be very high quality and liked the structured design.

Organization Learning Curve: The bag has a really well-thought-out organization system, but it took me a couple of trips to figure out the best way to use all the pockets and sections. Once you do though, it's definitely worth it.

Trip Length Limitations: While this bag is perfect for short trips and can easily fit everything I need for 2-3 days away, it's probably too small if you're traveling for longer. But that's actually what I like about it - it's sized perfectly to fit under airplane seats and isn't a pain to carry around the airport.

Professional Look: The Regimen Gym Bag looks really professional - it's more like a nice work bag than a typical gym bag. The stitching is neat and clean, and the materials look high-end. I like how the buckles add some style without making it too flashy for the office.Built to Last: What really stands out is how well this bag is made. The materials feel solid, the stitching is done right, and the inside is lined with a soft material that won't scratch your stuff. The shoulder strap has good padding, so it stays comfortable even when you're carrying it for a while
‍
Smart Storage: The bag is thoughtfully organized with some nice features. I especially like the shoe compartment - it keeps your gym shoes separate from everything else. While the bag looks slim, it can hold quite a bit without getting too bulky.
Everyday Use: This bag works great for daily use. It's perfect for going from the office to the gym, with enough room for what you need without being too big. The size is just right for moving around busy places while still looking professional.

Not ideal for electronics:The bag could be better at protecting your stuff. The laptop section isn't as padded as I'd like. If you travel a lot, I noticed it doesn't protect your electronics as well as other bags I've tried. I noticed a few scratched on my laptop post-travel with the Regimen.
‍
Could Be More User-Friendly: There are some annoying little things about this bag. The shoulder strap is tricky to adjust, the side pocket isn't very useful, and the laptop section doesn't fully cover your computer. There's no strap to slide it onto your rolling suitcase, which is frustrating at the airport. Plus, the easy-access pocket is too small to be really useful.
‍
Size Issues: While it's fine for daily use, this bag isn't great for longer trips. Since it doesn't have a garment bag section, it's hard to pack enough clothes for 2-3 days away.

About the Price: This is one of the most expensive bags in its category, and honestly, I'm not sure it's worth the high price. While the materials and build quality are good, you might expect more features and better functionality for what you're paying.

The Look: The Away bag has a clean, modern style that stands out. The outer material is the same high-quality stuff that the FTL uses, so it won't scratch easily and keeps looking nice. The stitching and metal parts are well-made, and the bag looks good whether you're headed to the gym or the office.

Style That Works: What I like is how this bag manages to look both casual and professional. The sleek design and nice leather details make it look more expensive, while the mesh inside keeps things organized. It's built strong enough for everyday use but still looks good enough for any situation.

Travel Features: The bag has some handy features for daily use. There's a strap to slide it onto your rolling suitcase, and the mesh inside helps keep your stuff separated. Since the outside is scratch-resistant, it keeps looking nice even with regular use - especially good if you're using it for daily gym trips.

Limited Organization: The organization system in the Away bag is pretty basic - there's just one main compartment and a few pockets, which makes it harder to keep things separate and organized. I find myself digging around to find stuff. This is especially tough when I'm packing both work and gym gear and want to keep clean and dirty items separate.
‍
Storage Limits: While this bag works for overnight trips, it's a bit cramped if you're trying to pack for 2-3 days. The shoe compartment takes up quite a bit of space in the main section, and there's no special spot for keeping dress clothes wrinkle-free. This makes it tricky if you're packing a suit or nice clothes for work.

‍Comfort, Flimsy Laptop Sleeve, Small Pockets: The shoulder strap padding isn't very comfortable on longer carries, and the water bottle pocket is too small for larger bottles. The laptop sleeve feels a bit flimsy, and I wish it had more padding for better protection.

Value-Conscious Design: The Herschel bag strikes an impressive balance between functionality and affordability. At $110, it provides solid construction and practical features while maintaining an accessible price point. The thoughtful laptop protection and sealed zippers demonstrate attention to essential details without inflating the cost.
‍
Comfort-Focused Features: What really stands out is the well-executed comfort elements. The padded shoulder strap effectively relieves pressure during carrying, and the easy adjustment mechanism makes it simple to customize the fit. These comfort features show consideration for daily usability.‍

Material Quality: While construction is solid, the materials reflect the budget-conscious price point. The preference for plastic over metal hardware and polyester stitching creates a notably less premium feel compared to higher-end competitors. The overall build quality, while adequate, clearly indicates its more casual positioning.
‍
Limited Specialized Storage: The bag lacks certain premium features like a dedicated shoe compartment or garment bag. While it offers basic organization and quick access pockets, the storage options are more simplified compared to premium competitors.

Innovative Design: The unique ability to transform from a garment bag into a duffel bag showcases clever engineering and versatility for travelers who need adaptive luggage solutions.
‍
Value Proposition: The product offers a reasonable price point for its transformative capabilities, making it an accessible option for budget-conscious travelers.

No Laptop Storage: The conversion from garment bag to duffel is really clever and works well. There's a good spot for shoes and enough room for most trips. But the side pockets are so tight they're almost useless, and there's no dedicated laptop space, which is frustrating.

Bulky: I found the Half Day to be much larger than other bags I tried, but it didn't make up for this, with more room in the bag. I had trouble fitting it under the seat and was asked to check it due to lack of room in the overhead bins.

Poor Organization: While the garment duffle idea is cool, the middle compartment lacks organization, and I felt was hard to pack and close.
‍
Quality: While this bag works great for casual travel, it definitely looks more like a gym bag than something you'd bring to a business meeting. It gets the job done, but if you need something that looks professional or want premium materials, you might want to look at other options

Unique Material Innovation: The bag's neoprene construction creates a distinctly aquatic-inspired design. Similar to a life jacket, this unique material choice likely offers excellent water resistance, making it particularly suitable for outdoor and leisure activities. The material's durability and weather protection show thoughtful consideration for real-world use.

Versatile Casual Design: What really stands out is how the bag embraces its casual, outdoorsy identity. The design works particularly well for weekend trips, boat outings, and leisure activities. The included accessories like a shoe bag, laundry bag, and attachable pencil case demonstrate attention to casual travelers' needs.
‍
Travel-Friendly Features: The bag functions well as a personal item for travel, with enough space for a weekend trip. The inclusion of specialized bags for shoes and dirty clothes shows consideration for practical travel organization. The comfortable wearing experience makes it suitable for casual journeys.

Professional Limitations: The casual, outdoorsy aesthetic significantly limits its versatility in professional settings. The design clearly prioritizes leisure use, making it less suitable for office environments or business travel. The slightly feminine styling may also narrow its target audience.

Organization Constraints: While the bag includes various accessory pouches, the main compartment lacks strong organizational features. The laptop compartment is notably small, and the single main compartment design limits efficient organization. The absence of a dedicated shoe compartment or garment bag restricts its functionality for more structured packing needs.

Practical Capacity: The Aer Travel Weekender offers generous space for its category. The spacious side pockets provide useful storage for water bottles and other items, while the main compartment can accommodate enough for two nights of travel. The overall volume makes it versatile enough for gym and daily use.

Protective Design Elements: What stands out is the zipper integration with the cover material, representing a thoughtful approach to weather protection. The bulky zippers, while not aesthetically pleasing, offer easy grabbing and manipulation for quick access to contents.

Basic Functionality: The bag provides adequate space distribution for basic needs, with particular attention to side storage options. Its capacity strikes a reasonable balance for those needing a bag that can handle both daily commuting and occasional overnight trips.

Material Quality: The construction quality raises significant concerns. The outer material feels noticeably cheap, reminiscent of budget laptop bags. The interior materials also feel lower quality, potentially compromising protection for sensitive items like laptops. The zipper quality is particularly concerning, showing snagging issues straight out of the box.
‍
Design Execution: Several design choices impact usability and aesthetics. The handle design feels awkward, with straps that interfere with comfortable handling. The quick access pocket's interior placement reduces its utility, and the overall aesthetic leans toward a basic backpack look that many might find unappealing in professional settings.
‍
Value Proposition: Given the material quality and construction issues, the price point feels difficult to justify. The combination of cheaper-feeling materials and functional limitations makes it hard to recommend at its current price point, especially when compared to competitors in the same range.
