A Solid Backpack With Extensive Features

I use the backpack for both work and non-work days. The side bottle pockets can easily hold a large water bottle. I love the 4 pocket sections for a small iPad or laptop, sunglasses, wallet, notepad, pens, etc. On more casual days, I can use it for hiking and the chest strap works well to help with the heavier load if necessary. All around, a solid project that gets a great deal of use.

Had My Eye On This For A While.

The only thing I would change about this backpack is the iPad pocket size. I wish it fit my full size iPad instead of just a mini. Otherwise I really love this backpack. It fits everything else I need, it looks very sleek, and it has a very high quality feel to it. It is a little on the expensive side unless you can get it during a sale like I did but as long as it holds up good I believe it was well worth it.

Great Bag

so happy highly recommend looks better in person!!
