## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   The front pocket offers lots of organization that will keep things in their rightful places as you travel.
-   The back padding offers good ventilation which is convenient when traveling in places with tropic climate.
-   Has an RFID pocket with discreet credit card holders to protect your sensitive data from thieves.
-   Materials feel premium to touch with those leather detailing and smart accents all over the bag.

### Things to consider

-   The side pockets are quite narrow.
-   The organization in the middle compartment is a bit awkward to use.
-   Quite expensive.

## What reviewers said

-   "So, all in all it’s a dang nice bag. Just the right amount of grown-up manliness with the right touch of executive presence. It looks like you are on the way to the boardroom as opposed to the mailroom. It has well thought out organization and seems very well made."
-   "As for the bag review itself, well, it is an excellent backpack...The 1600D ballistic nylon looks and feels great. The zipper grabs are metal so they some heft and are butter smooth. Also, the bag is lightweight, has a water-resistant bottom, and it can take up to a 17" laptop..."
-   "As a frequent traveler who relies only on hand luggage, I wanted something compact to carry my laptop along with other devices, cables, and toiletries. This was just perfect in every way - build quality, number, and placement of pockets, capacity, and design, with a bright and professional finish - especially in comparison to many other brands and models in its class."
