Oops, yeah I totally forgot to take and upload some pics. I'll see if I can get some uploaded soon.
My thoughts so far: I'm very happy. I think the mini is the perfect size for how I pack (minimally and light). It's actually larger than I thought it would be even though I did check the measurements.
The canvas is really nice. Strong and clearly will be able to take a beating. The zippers run smooth and without any catches. Love the leather handles. Sturdy and smooth, soft leather.
The one downside is probably the strap. It's not bad at all, but when the bag is packed fully, I can see it messing with my shoulder if I have to haul it for prolonged times. I might look at buying the leather strap they sell as an upgrade.
I took the bag on a weekend trip and I had plenty of room to spare. A bit too much, actually. I could probably go for an even smaller version of this bag as a weekender. The mini to me will be a fine week long trip bag.
To give an example of what I packed (I use Eagle Creek packing cubes. this set: Eagle Creek Travel Gear Pack-It Cube Set and this set of "pack-it sacs" Eagle Creek Travel Gear Pack-It Sac Set), here's a list (I'm borrowing size references from one of the amazon reviews):
On the way down the clothes in there were:
Coming back I was wearing the shorts, so the jeans I had been wearing on the way down were packed instead.
All of that fit with enough room in the bag to still be able to collapse the top part of the bag down. It had a good 5" or so to spare as clearance still.
The other thing I will mention is that the good and bad of the canvas is that the bag has no shape on its own. Until you stuff it with your gear, the bag is going to flop in on itself. This is bad if you do not have the bag packed enough to give it some shape. This is great if you plan on packing this bag into a bigger bag on a trip. It folds down smaller than a pair of jeans.
Hope that helps!
I'll try and get pics up soon.
It took me forever to find a backpack that was "professionally appropriate" for my type of work. I finally got this one from Solo about 6-7 years ago when I had an enormous laptop ("lapserver" as we called it) and it's been excellent. (It still looks brand new after several hundred thousand miles of weekly travel.) It has pockets in all the right places and a nice minimal aesthetic. To keep it organized even further (cables, dongles, etc.) and help me rapidly switch to different bags, I use Eagle Creek Pack-It Sacs.
I’ve been using the eagle creek pack-it sac for a couple years.

I’ve been using probably the smallest one? It’s borderline too small. Like when its got other things in there getting a full size toothbrush requires the proper angle. Not a lot of organization unfortunately, but definitely keeps one from overpacking.
