This is the best Minaal yet—the little details make all the difference. I own the 1.0, have gifted the 2.0, and now have the 3.0. Basically they fixed the little annoyances and upgraded things I didn't know I wanted. They upgraded the laptop harness and makes it accessible from either direction. The passport hidden pocket has spoiled me. And don't get me started on those zippers—my original have taken eight years of abuse with never a tear nor a problem. Bottom line: the 3.0 is worth it.

Seriously glad I found this bag! I've been travelling non-stop for the past year to over 10 countries and this has come with everywhere without complaining on being shoved into tight spots, dropped onto pavements/rocks/dusty floors, and overloaded (gotta bring back gifts!).

The pockets are cleverly designed, and there always seems to be a little extra nook that you can take advantage of.

I love the laptop section and that I don't need to worry about it smashing to pieces. I love the hidden pocket on the back where I can keep extra money, passport, and other valuables (please don't rob me!).

I'll admit I was a little hesitant to purchase at first due to the price but I'm so happy I did because this truly feels like a bag for life (not-withstanding their incredible life-time guarantee).

Bravo minaal team, truly stellar product!

just what i need

I recently purchased the carry-on 3.0 as I was looking for a bag I could use for extended weekend trips of 3 or maybe 4 days. So the past weekend I took a trip and used the 3.0 as my only bag for the weekend.

What I found is this is a great bag that's well designed. Great construction, strong zippers, well thought out pockets, a super and well protected lap top section. I found the shoulder straps, handles, to be strong, comfortable and well designed. I also loved the size and design of the water bottle storage and its support strap.

So overall I loved the bag. My only challenge is its size and for me it was a challenge to get the little I packed into this well designed space and I used packing cubes. For me it would be great if I was also bringing another bag, which defeats my over all goal of having a one bag travel so option.

So for me I'm going to look at exchanging it for the Daily carry 2.0 and look for a counter part for my extended weekend trips.

Thanks for a great bag

Just want to drop in and say how much I love this bag.

Used it recently for a work vacation. On and off planes and city buses. Used it every day. It becomes like a part of you, even when full.

The pockets are perfectly placed. And I loved and used the water bottle pocket for my slim camelback.

Having a good bag makes the work easier. Thanks. :)
