I won’t be giving up my 45L Travel Backpack for the new 2 in 1

I watched and read a couple of adverviews of the new 2 in 1, and while it’s a very cool looking bag, there are just too many compromises in making the bags join together. I feel like satellite bag is too cramped and the main bag lost all of the cool organization of the 45L, and it’s quite small.

My 45L is by far my favourite bag, as it’s so versatile and an absolute tank. I used it for a month in SE Asia, and the 3L Outdoor Sling and a Sea To Summit sil pack were the perfect complements to the 45L. The only thing I wish the 4L had is better straps, but that said, they’re still not even that bad.
