Top opening and no zippers, which is lighter weight and a little more secure if it gets knocked around a lot. 2 is more of a travel bag. Large zippered compartments make it easier to get into on a regular basis and help with organization. Seconding the recommendation to check out /r/onebag and/or /r/ManyBaggers Permalink 2
