    A good choice for carry on

    I wasn't sure if this Gesso backpack would be a suitable substitute for my previous carryon, which was a large tote. However, I think it will not only be suitable, but may hold as much, in an easier profile, both for carrying and packing. The vertical style seems to be better for keeping my stuff from rolling over and stacks it well. The material is very rugged and the zippers are metal. I think it will hold up to travel very nicely and I tend to be in a hurry and not too careful, so that's perfect. I'm able to get my travel CPAP, with all accessories into it, in addition to the usual things I don't want to chance to check in, such as medication, jewelry, gifts, liquids, and basics in case the check in bag is delayed.

    Lots of pockets, some on the outside, a laptop sleeve and it's not too heavy, even packed. I did a try out just to be sure.

    I plan to embroider my initials in the side, since it could be mistaken if there's another one of the same color going through the line. That should be easy to do as well. Looking forward to traveling with this backpack in a few weeks.
