Holds more than expected.
Love the bag, I use it for work, Im a freight conductor and I work road. This bag is perfect for clothes and storing essentials. The liner makes it very easy to slip things in and out. The protective lense pouch in top works well. Its big enough for my phone "samsung 25 ultra" and more.I get lots of bag compliments from co workers.The zippers work very well, nice and sturdy.

Near perfect, but with one fatal flaw…
I’ma long time Oakley fan, so I’m hoping to write with respect for a great company which very nearly created the single best consumer priced pack of all time. Before mentioning the fatal flaw, let me acknowledge the good points.1. In terms of durability & space, I can’t imagine that any but the most expensive or professional military / LE products would surpass the Kitchen Sink. I do prefer double zipper-pulls for every curved or longer zipper, but in this case, I’ll overlook the preference (the main section has double zipper-pulls, so to insist on every nitpicking preference would be unfair).2. This pack has every specific compartment, pocket, & section you will ever need (& several in the middle compartment which are well padded against inadvertent damage.3. The side zipper for access to the padded computer pocket is a nice feature (but I’d like to be able to lock it to a metal / ABS ring to prevent surreptitious access, but there goes my obsessive attention to minor matters again, huh?).4. I absolutely LOVE the dual metal buckles with quick release straps, with rings attached with a metal cable sewn into the lid (!); professional products should pay attention to the security of such a design. Interestingly, the squared-off metal ring protruding from the front of the pack may seem to be decorative only, but I can think of many ways in which these may be used (I’m a ham operator and do POTA, Field Day, and Fox Hunts, requiring a number of peculiar points of attachment of equipment, such as coiled coax, long wire antennas, etc. which would be hung from these rings and NOT TAKE UP SPACE—pardon the excited shouting—within the pack)5. There’s plenty of room for hiking shoes / boots OR dirty / wet clothes in the bottom zippered compartment (& I do mean, plenty of room, although I’m not sure the enclosing fabric is waterproof and therefore odor-preventative).6. Is you are an Oakley eyewear (or other premium—Ray-Ban, etc.) eyewear user, you will be very grateful to the attention Oakley built into this pack to protect your eyewear investment, in the top zipped compartment with is softly lined and has a hard shell over to prevent the kind of inadvertent smashing of expensive eyewear. Nobody, but nobody, does it better.7. Finally, if the shoulder straps and back protection / padding (as well as waist & chest straps) are inadequate or poorly designed, it ain’t worth the cost. But, that is not what you get with the Kitchen Sink; this is one of the most comfortable packs / rucks I’ve ever worn.It was a HUGE disappointment to send it back for one fatal flaw: Top flap (which is otherwise profoundly well-designed to protect eyewear):Remember the metal buckles and metal-cable attachment rings I loved on in #4, above? Well, the curved design of attaching that top compartment with the metal cable prevents the full easy-opening of the main compartment.Oh, you can >> HOLD << it open, but if (like me) you need two hands to insert even a small ham radio transceiver and a hardback 3-ring notebook of necessary technical information about the event operation, and insertion of another thin padded case holding the iPad, etc. (the logging computer has its own place and is already securely placed), it’s just unwieldy, at best. If the top cover opened in a straight line to let it stay open while loading the pack, this pack would still be in my possession!It was difficult for me to make the necessary decision (and I took several days to decide), but the ultimate decision was to return it, but give the best and most complete review possible, under the circumstances.If your needs are not directly parallel to mine, this may be the best pack purchase you’ll ever make. It is easily competitive to packs selling at twice the price—I’ve tried and used many of them.What I ended up purchasing is not pertinent to this review. Let the Kitchen Sink stand on its own merit.

Tried and true product for travel
I have a lot of backpacks. I've used many over the years traveling and the Kitchen sink always stands out whenever I'm boarding or in line at the airport. I found one on sale and picked up and did not regret it. I think the shoe compartment at the bottom is a little jank because it takes up space in the main compartment, but I understand the reasoning. Overall it's a great bag and have added it to the collection.
