As comfortable exploring urban jungles as it is exploring literal ones, the Vagabond is pleasantly simple, yet feature-rich and surprisingly roomy. The pack is a top-loading affair with a sealed zip, and the interior is large and square, proving easy to pack and easy to rummage through. The two handles on the top are an excellent addition, lending some traditional style to an otherwise modern pack and quickly proving indispensable in use.
