Overview

Versatile, sophisticated, and functional. The Backpack has room for a laptop, iPad, water bottle, a change of clothes, travel accessories, and your favorite snacks. It is carefully crafted with RFID blocking slip pockets to prevent electronic pickpocketing of your passport and credit cards, a water-resistant polyester / nylon exterior, full-grain leather trim, seam-sealed zippers, and an anti-microbial lining. The Backpack is sized as a personal item to go in-cabin with your carry-on.

"I liked the bag's sleek design and leather top handle and trim. A tiny zip pocket at the top of the bag is the ideal spot to stash my earbuds, charger or a small pair of sunglasses."

    Light, handy bag

    High quality and very well conceived. Most importantly for me, it's light due to the materials used. I like the separate laptop section in the back. The stitching is very subtle -- it hides the zippers so you almost don't know that there is a compartment there, which is good for protecting your laptop against thieves. I love the front pocket for your wallet because it has an anti-theft cap that makes it difficult for thieves to pull out your wallet and other things. The luggage sleeve is nice and loose enough to fit over your luggage with ease. The only thing I would change is to make the sunglass pocket at the top of the backpack a little larger. This is great product.

    Great Travel Bag

    I purchased this bag in the mint color and I think it's absolutely beautiful! I traveled to the other side of the world with this bag and got to know it's features well during that time. The laptop pouch is wonderful, especially if you have to quickly take your laptop out for any reason and the design makes it easy to slip back in. The bag is structured and retains its shape, looking the same if its full or empty, which I liked. The fabric does not pick up stains - my bag still looks pristine even though I had my shoes on it at several points during my trip and it was shoved under the seat in front of me on multiple flights. I only found two things I did not love about this backpack - the small pocket in the very front is not very functional and is hard to get in, so I did not put anything in there I needed to access often. The pockets made to hold water bottles do not have any flex or elastic at all. It fit the Yeti I took perfectly with some effort and the good part is that the Yeti did not budge or fall out of that spot - but if you don't test your chosen beverage container first, it may not fit. Overall - love this backpack and I would purchase it again.
