Does this backpack stand up when it is full? How does it compare in size to the Zuca?

Hi, I don't. Know about the Zuca but I can tell you that this backpack does stand up when it is full. I think it's great! I hope this helps.

Don't know about the Zuca but yes, this backpack stands when it's full which is why I gave it a favourable rating.

Yes, my backpack stands up when full. I am not familiar with the Zuca backpack.

It definitely does stand on it's own - either empty OR full! However, the entire empty backpack is fairly heavy to start with - so if you're into muscle building.........this is the one for you! I got it because of the exceptionally quiet wheels and the double braced handle. It works well as a pull-pack, but I sure wouldn't want to carry it on my back!

Yes, the backpack stands up when full. My 12 year old packs it and it is very sturdy. Worth the purchase. I'm not able to compare with Zuca.

It stands upright no matter how much I put in it. I am able to keep my laptop, 4 textbooks, 3 clipboards loaded with papers, a thermos and spiral notebooks; along with writing utensils, my phone, mp3 player and a couple of snacks in it. It has met and exceeded my needs and expectations. No idea what a Zuca is....sorry.

I haven't used the Zuca so I can't give a comparison, however I can tell you that full of textbooks, notebooks and clothes this thing stays upright with no tipping!

It does stand up when it's full but it may fall over if not full or filled unevenly.

I will fit over one of the smaller day packs easily. We have not tried it over a full sized pack.

When fully expanded it really is width and length. It fluffs up pretty big. I however found that despite the floffyness it needed a bit more foam and I called the company and told them it lacked stuffing, when sitting on it , it was nothing like the support the pic showed and it flattened pretty quick. So they sent me free of charge more stuffing which fixed the issue. Apparently when I ordered mine they had filled the wrong amount in. Its pretty cool bag, a cheaper alternative if you don't want to blow money on lovesac. I loved it and did great for me and my wife. I sold it to a friend because after we moved to a better place and had saved I bought some new couches and didn't have the space for it sadly, but my friend loves it and his kids. Also it really is great too if you spill anything on it easy clean up. But yeah the only issue was the filler, if you get one and feel it might need more give them a call let them know . Also it requires fluffing ever so often. Hope this helps.

No it does not stand up but that has never been a problem for me. It is a well designed and very tough bag and has served me well for several years. Had to pick up a second bag in case it got discontinued.....

It is light compared to other backpacks of the same thread. Also, with the 70+ miles of mountainous terrain I've put this thing through, it has proven resilient and has not given me any problems.

I responded to Amazon about the ILBE once before. I ordered the ILBE about a year and a half ago and LOVE the backpack as it's extremely durable for the work I use it for. My PROBLEM with the ILBE is that my ruck arrive OCONUS AFGHANISTAN WITHOUT rucksack straps. I had to cannibalize an older SNUGPACK rucksack so that I could use the ILBE. FIX THAT PROBLEM and we'll be square, otherwise I'm still a bit pissed.7lbs empty, a lot more when I travel.

I use a regular size D tank and there's still a good bit of room with the width but not on the height. I hope this helps. It's been a good backpack. Regards,Ed

Consider this a full size backpack. Have yet to fill it up yet it seems very small on the back when it is not loaded up.

I didn't have any problems but I did most of my travel in South America. Also it depends on how full you have the backpack portion.

For the past year, I have used the Jansport Driver 8 backpack. I have never experienced a problem with the bottom collapsing, even with it loaded down by multiple heavy textbooks and a laptop. It wont tip if the largest compartment carries the most weight. However, it will tip if the front compartments have the most weight.

In 5'3 128 it worked for me .holds a lot the rain gear attached is handy .It's a bag that it's much better full when it's not full it flops around a bit my bf has a kelty it's smaller then mine but well made he really likes his and is probably about your size it really depends on how much you want to pack I used mine in Costa Rica and my only complaint is that if it's not full it's a little awkward .hope that helps your decision have a good trip :-)

I own this backpack. I am 5'10 and it was too short for me, so my teenage son has a great ultra light backpack. These packs are not adjustable like osprey and others. It does have load lifters and multiple adjustments to get a better fit. My torso is 18" and this was a little too short for me.

No it does not stand up right but the material/fabric is strong. I am very happy with this bag and I travel a lot.

Hello. The only time mine tips forward is when front heavy and the zippered compartment in front is open. When zipped up, it stands well on all wheels. Tipping is rare. I had my first four compartment bag for seven years and it was awesome. The next four compartment bag I bought was designed a bit smaller in width which was a huge disappointment. This bag you are writing me about, from what I can tell, is one compartment smaller than the bag I described above. I do have this one too, but do not have as much experience with it. But thus far I do not have any problems with it. It does matter how the weight is distributed. Best to put laptop toward the handle side. Hello.
