A combo tote/backpack involves some compromise - upon receiving it I was hesitant about closure of the tote (no zipper) when used as under seat airline luggage and whether the backpack straps would hook on items when used as a tote. The photos on the website did not show those potential problems. when used as tote with extension sleeve inside the bag the top can be hooked but would allow items to fall out if bag placed horizontally. The solution is to pull the sleeve out of the bag, roll it down and hook it - creating safe and water resistant closure. When used as tote the chest straps can secure straps against bag - lessening possible hooking. Also, the straps can easily transition between tote handles and backpack straps - allowing quick transition when using the bag as under seat airline carry on (it meets airline dimension requirements if not loaded above the tote line). Thanks. Well designed.
