## Description

Extraordinary comfort comes standard with padded shoulder straps that reduce pressure and a ventilated back panel to minimize perspiration. The backpack's modular strap system allows for expansion with separately purchased accessories like the Zip Pouch Pro and HUB Pouch for convenient access on the go.

Review: This bag fits my Samsung Book5 Pro 14" and Galaxy Tab 10+ perfectly. Also have plenty of room for the mouse and charger. I will say, the Book5 Pro 14" is about the max for this size bag though. As small as possible with high quality construction was the goal and this bag does the trick. For a few years I have been using an E-bags Slim Pro backpack but since I downsized to a 14" laptop, I wanted a smaller bag as well. I like the minimalist styling to avoid extra attention and it is well built. Downsizing to this bag just makes life on planes and public areas easier. The laptop will not hit the floor if I drop the bag since it is raised from the bottom of the bag so it keeps tech safe. The straps are comfortable enough, with the weight I have in the bag it could have a little extra cushion but by no means a deal breaker. With just the laptop and no tablet, zero comfort issues. With both items, comfortable but eh, could use a little more padding for one shoulder use. The zipper in the main compartment can get stuck on the rain guard flap at times but you eventually get the hang of it and now it rarely happens to me. Ultimately, rather have the rain protection than not. If you are in a high theft area, I would be cautious what you put in the small zipper compartment since pulling downward opens it. Granted, the way the storage is set up in there, nothing should fall out. You can always remove the little pull tab as well if it is a concern. If I could change anything, just a pinch more padding on the straps and I would say adding more colors would help make this product even better than it already is.
Review: パソコン+αと500サイズのペットボトルがちょうど収まるサイズ。 メイン収納にはボトルが収まるスペースがあり、中で散らからないのが良い。 「パソコン以外持ち歩かねーよ」という潔い方が飲み物買ったり荷物増えたりのイレギュラーに対応できるちょうどいいカバンだと思います。

Produto com bom acabamento, o zíper principal enrosca se não tomar cuidado, mas fora isso boa organização dos bolsos internos, uma mochila pequena para o dia a dia
