The main compartment of the laptop bag provides plenty of room for files and all your other gadgets. All too often it can be frustrating trying to pack all our mobile gear into one bag and not having enough room. With the number of pockets and pouches available on this laptop bag; you needed worry.

There are places for cords, all the media types you want, your cell phone, PDA and other gadgets. You might be surprised what will fit and how much more organized you will be now. There are two exterior pockets for beverages and a zippered pocket on the outside of the flap for small documents such as tickets. There is also a back slot pocket for files.

Construction

This laptop bag is constructed of ballistic nylon which is very sturdy, water resistant and holds up well under any type of conditions. Ballistic nylon is easy to keep clean as well.

The straps are well-sewn, sturdy and comfortable. When worn in the backpack mode, the straps sit comfortably with the bag actually sitting low on your back. To prevent the infamous backpack sway there are sternum and waist straps, that you can adjust for your own comfort.

When using this laptop bag in the mesenger mode, you can adjust the strap to sit on one shoulder or across your body. You can even carry the bag by the top handle.

The buckles are sturdy as well and quite secure. This laptop bag can be packed to the max and the buckles and straps won't fail.

Extras

The biggest and most important extra on this laptop bag are the nice, soft pads that sit on your backside when using it in backpack mode. You won't have your laptop bouncing against you and killing your back. If you use the laptop bag in messenger mode, the pads sit nicely against your side - helping to prevent sway and keep the whole thing more comfortable.

Another neat feature are the loops which can be used to carry an umbrella or even a newspaper. It keeps these items handy, but safely stowed while you move about.

The last interesting feature is that you can unzip the small zipper on the lower backside and can now slide your laptop bag over the handle of a rolling case. It could also be used to slide over the handles of a rolling trolley in an airport.
