It's also hand-sewn in the US from PFC-free material and has a lifetime warranty that’s as bombproof as the ballistic nylon fabric. It has a huge luggage pass-through and hefty padded shoulder straps. Like all Tom Bihn bags, the pockets are metaphysical perfection, with a huge laptop pocket with two-way access that also has a tablet pocket for my Kindle, and front pockets with O-rings to hook keys and other sundries. If you live in a rainy area, roll-tops keep water from seeping through the top zippers. Too much? Roll it down to compress the space. Don’t have enough room? Unroll it and stick your bike helmet in. Roll-top bags are more versatile than zippered ones. ★ A roll-top Tom Bihn: The Tom Bihn Addax for $294 has become one of my go-to bags.
It's the perfect, organized conference companion, but it's on the highest end of what we think is worth spending on a bag. But in the 22-liter size, I didn't notice the extra weight.
And the dense fabric and plentiful hardware-the zippers, O-rings, and buckles-make it a little heavy. Each bag has a lifetime guarantee.īecause the bag is so small, the pass-through on the back is only 7 inches wide-too narrow to slip over the handle of a carry-on. The exterior is made from Bluesign-certified 400-denier ballistic nylon with top-of-the-line YKK water-repellent zippers. The pen pockets are located in flaps on the side rather than in the middle top, for convenient access. For example, the zippered water bottle pocket is located in the middle of the backpack instead of on the side, so it won't tip you off balance. It has a lot of pockets, and they're all thoughtfully designed. When I (Adrienne) travel for work, I typically carry a Tom Bihn bag, and the clamshell Synik 22 is my favorite.

Check out our other guides, including the Best Recycled Bags, Best Laptop Totes and Purses, Best Messenger Bags, Best Camera Bags, and the Best Travel Bags. We inspect backpacks for a suspended, padded laptop sleeve durable fabrics and water-resistant zippers and versatile storage options. Whatever your needs, we have a fit and functional backpack for you. It's also easier on your neck and shoulders than an overstuffed purse, duffle, or briefcase. Whether you're commuting to an office or school, working from coffee shops, or going on a weekend trip, a good backpack will carry your stuff and keep it organized. Better materials too.The number of backpacks out there is endless, and they range in price from under $50 to several hundred dollars, but finding a life-changing bag isn't easy. Black Ember Citadel R2 Minimal if you absolutely must have organization.I learned I prefer light bags with full-clamshell opening, a single large compartment instead of multiple smaller ones. What’s worse, the tiny opening makes it very hard to access stuff, and unlike my Flight Pack X-PAC there is no bright orange lining to make things easy to find.Ī good albeit expensive learning experience (*). It is very heavy, very stiff, and excessive organization means you end up with a lot of tiny inflexible compartments that won’t accommodate bulkier items like a DSLR or full-sized headphones. I had the Tech Pack 2, used it for a couple of weeks then sold it. The waterproof zippers on the Tech pack 2 are also nice, but it would be more of a bonus than something I would base the decision on if it ended up being bigger than what I needed. Its not so much the additional cost that is making me not just go for the Tech Pack 2 but the size, I don't want to purchase too much bag and have it be needlessly chonky, so I just want to make sure I pick up the one that is best geared for what I'm carrying. Is it sufficient for a 16" laptop and 12.9 tablet (with keyboard cover)? Or would those 2 items alone mean I should really go for the Tech Pack 2? The Day Pack would share that main compartment, with a laptop main sleeve and a smaller sleeve stiched to the front of it. I see that the Tech Pack has 2 separate primary electronics compartments, 1 for laptop and one seemingly for a tablet.

Other things id like it to hold are mouse, chargers, portable battery, ereader and additional accessories (sometimes headphones/game controller, possibly a Nintendo switch).
#AER DAYPACK PRO#
The bag needs to be able to carry a 15.6"/16" Thinkpad and a 12.9" Ipad Pro (with keyboard cover). Looking to get one of these 2 bags and was hoping for some advice!
