I travel for work three weeks out of every four. For years I packed two bags. One for the flight in, one checked because I could never fit everything into a personal item for a full week. The Espanso changed that arithmetic completely. I zip it open at the base and I have a week. I zip it closed and I have a personal item. I haven't checked a bag since March

I bought this after getting tired of every travel backpack looking like I was about to go hiking. This one looks like it belongs in the same category as my other things. No logos, no straps hanging everywhere, no aggressive branding. My assistant asked me last week where I got it and I realized that's the first time anyone had asked about my bag in years.
I travel with a 15-inch laptop, an iPad, and a full complement of cables. Every bag I've owned made security into a small performance. Unpack, repack, hold up the line. The Espanso lays completely flat. The laptop is visible through the top panel. TSA has not once asked me to remove anything in eight months of weekly travel.
