This backpack was very well designed and I liked the leather. I returned it because I was looking for something similar that was a little less masculine.

Update After 1.5Years : I stand behind my original review of this. Still use this regularly, 5 days a week. Its held up and it still looks nice and new. I have the original version without the USB charger port thing built in, but I have no need for that feature anyway. Original Review : I bought a few other similarly-sized backpacks from Amazon here thinking I could get something similar for a lower price. Dumb. With this, I can fit one Surface Pro, one 15 laptop, chargers for both devices, two medium-sized texts or one full-sized college textbook + notebook, headphones, and my battery backup charger, all without straining anything. Confidence-inspiring for protecting the laptop and Surface Pro inside, nicely padded enough. The straps clasp shut nicely. My only complaint? Now I have other extra backpacks (and one useless sling bag) that Ill never use, because this one is everything I wanted. I shouldve saved the money on the other cheaper bags and just bought this one to start.

First impression out of the box was great. Backpack came in a protective sleeve, nothing fancy but enough to protect the backpack. Once you pull it out of the bag it actually smells like pretty good quality material. It feels of good quality and sturdy, even the sounds of the zippers sound good. Overall very satisfied however, the only improvement I would make is the amount of inside pockets. I think it doesnt have enough storage pouches inside leaving the possibility of having a mess inside. I also didnt use the rubber zipper tags because I feel that it cheapens the quality look of the bag. If the zipper rubbers were black I think it would hide a little better and look cleaner. If these improvements were made I would definitely give a 5 star all day.

I only recommend it if you are going to need it for just a few items including a laptop. It is not convenient at all to get you stuff in or out. It is mostly because the front zipper is just at the top (and it is not along the edges a little) so you have to put your hand inside and just try to find what you need by touching everything that is in; this can be so annoying and it is one of the reasons Im returning this. Another thing is it has no room for other stuff in the main part except for a laptop and maybe some papers. See how narrow it in the photo. In general, it is wasnt for me, but it has very nice material and I bet it could last for a long time. Pros: High-quality material Not bulky Cons: Relatively a bit pricy Hard to put things in it and get them out So slim and no room even for a relatively big sunglasses bag Suggestions: Adding a little room to the main section The front zipper could go a little bit toward the edges so finding things is easier Just so you have an idea of its size in the picture: My height: 54 (162cm). The Macbook size: 13 inches.

This backpack is very good looking with an excellent build quality -especially for the great price point. It delivers on being super slim, fits and looks wonderful which is its greatest feature. What was less than perfect were the pockets, specifically the access size at the zippers and any sort of organizational aides within the pockets. There are basically four pockets. 1)Starting from the back, the touted secure anit-theft pocket is a great idea but hiding the zipper under the strap for hanging over a rollaboard handle just made it very hard to get access to it. You would keep your valuables there but not if you want easy access to it. 2)The main and biggest pocket is great... nice padded-lined sleeve for up to a 15 laptop; my 2021 14 MacBook Pro was swimming in there. Outside the sleeve, but still in the main pocket, interior pockets and pen holders were perfect, keeping all the miscellaneous items from piling up in a big bundle at the bottom -which is the biggest capacity/thickest part of this slim package. 3)The mid-body pocket has nothing that helps organize anything you put in it so everything piles up at the bottom which is hard to access because there is only a top zipper (unlike the main compartment which has a nice wide zipper that lets you see into it.) so finding and getting to your stuff is poor. Which is a shame because thats where Ive had to put documents that I need quick access to (see why the front pocket doesnt work well next). 4)The very front pocket has only a discrete side zipper and is a logical place for documents that you need quick access to. Unfortunately, the shortness of the zipper and lack of width of the compartment doesnt allow for Letter-sized documents to lie flat in there. The compartment just needs a quarter inch more width and the zipper needs to open a quarter inch longer. Placement would be perfect but its not to be... I have to fold documents in half or lose them in the large compartment. mixed in with cables and sunglasses and power supplies. The final comment is that I wore it all day yesterday with my 3.5 lb laptop, with 0.5lb power supply and cables and maybe another .5lb of pens, business cards... Good news, it looked great and stayed slim, bad news, it was very cumbersome to find and get access to stuff -after a couple of hours and the rest of the day, the straps felt uncomfortable for the light weight that I was carrying. I guess its really a commuters bag and not that suitable for day trips.

Bought this because I wanted a slim backpack that I could use daily and slip under a plane seat occaisionally. This backpack fits the bill exactly. Very well made and good looking. Strong zippers and top -notch materials. Very slim yet I can fit a laptop, and a tablet, accessories etc. I would say this is primarily a rugged. good-looking day pack. . Not a great deal of space for clothing etc. for traveling. Just a couple of minor quibbles: the interior pockets have no closures.. velcro or zippers would be useful. Also, the unused portion of the straps sort of dangle loosely. . .I attached velcro to fasten them up. Otherwise, this is a beautiful backpack, I really like it, and I would buy it again. . . . .One and a half years later. . .I use this backpack everyday, and it still looks and functions like brand new. One of the best purchases Ive ever made. I liked it a lot when I wrote the first part of this review: I like it even more now.

thanks

I like the practicality of this bag. I was taken aback by how compact it was. It works very well and I like the color. Its nice.

The description says it a for men. The tag on the backpack says “Business backpack for YOUNG PEOPLE”. I am neither. But I still love it. Seriously, it is thin, but holds a lot. I have my lap top, IPad and 1/2 inch portfolio, glasses case and a couple of small miscellaneous items in there and everything fits fine. There is a zippered section in the back to put valuables. The little pocket on the shoulder strap is not zippered and isn’t that deep so I don’t use it.

Very slim. Make sure you measure your laptop. No room for error. Not meant for anything other than a latop. Looks so cool though.
