This is a great backpack/duffle for 1 bag travel. The back of the backpack is rigid and well padded so the bag easily stays upright on it own. The pocket adjacent to the back is a narrow pocket that is essentially made for a tablet or laptop. The next zipper pocket is deep and wide with no pockets and works great for holding clothes. The front zipper pocket has all of the separators necessary for organizing toiletries, chargers, or any other small items that you may have with you. It is also deep enough to hold a tablet.The top handle and front straps are also heavily padded. It includes a chest strap and a small waist strap that can be tightened up to the bag if you choose not to use it. The top zipper pocket is made of soft material and is a perfect pocket for glasses or sunglasses to keep them easily accessible. The water bottle holders on this bag are some of the best I've ever seen. They easily hold 1qt bottles and the adjustable bungee strap holds tall bottles so they don't fall out.Front bungees have become really popular on backpacks, but I've found I only use them if I'm carrying a light jacket, so I could take them or leave them. I'm not a skater so I don't really use the bottom straps. The fact that they only loosen up and don't unlatch makes them a little more difficult for me to use.Overall, this is a great bag for the price, and I highly recommend it. I have a lot of backpacks, and this one is by far one of the best I've found for the price.
