I’m on my second one after my first one was a little to worn to wear to work after years of travel, and abuse. My first one still functions well and I take places where I know it’ll get muddy. The newer current model one I have is perfect for protecting my laptops and keeping everything organized.. It’s rigged compared to most backpacks and I appreciate the protection for my glasses right at the top. It’s durable, comfortable, and good looking imo. I only wish it still had an inner tablet pocket.
Pros: protects the laptop, luggage handle passthrough is epic, durable
I am one of those guys who seems to break everything they put their hands in quick order. I have never had a backpack last long but this one has stood the test of time. Not only that but whatever I've put in it has come out unbroken and in the same condition that I put in. After several spills on my longboard with my laptop in it It's still ok! Not to mention the bag still looks great, and works well as an EDC bag for most people. I wish that it would get a refresh though, simply because I think that they could do better. Also it can be difficult to clean. Otherwise this bag looks almost the exact same as when I got it. My only real complaint is that this bag is HEAVY. Compared to other quality brands I've used this bag is between 25%-30% heavier than the next. But it won't ever fail you and that's what I need.
Pros: durable, looks great, doesn't wear easily, lots of storage
I bought the bag cause said would fit my 17" laptop let me say does not do that. I'm sure would hold a 15 but not a 17 like they say. The bag looks great from everything else i can see. Hope they make a bigger bag would be very interested if that ever happen.
Great bag. Well thought design. Only issue is the tightness of the suitcase sleeve. It will clearly loosen up over time. Right now it's difficult to get the backpack over my suitcase handle.
At the time of this review, I have not extensively used the product but have had the opportunity to load items into the pack and check out all of the compartments for functionality. This pairs well with the Layover as it slips over the pull handle and is the exact correct height. The variation of pockets allows a wide array of uses for items of differing sizes and keeps things well organized. The laptop compartment is very well protected and fits my 13.5" fine. At this time, there are only a couple downsides that I see. The lap top pocket does not open very wide, due to the short zipper and the rigid pocket assembly. If used for something other than a laptop, it will be difficult to put shorter items in and retrieve them. The rigid sunglass compartment shares the same issue with access due to the back pack handle limiting access. Overall this is a very nice pack and will work well for my needs.
Pros: good pocket layout, heavy duty material, great laptop pocket protection
Cons: laptop pocket could open larger, sunglass pocket could open larger and avoid handle
