Quite Simply The Best Travel Backpack I’ve Ever Owned.

Quite Simply The Best Travel Backpack I’ve Ever Owned.
I’ve been using this backpack for six years, and in that time have used it nearly every day for work or travel. I can’t recommend it highly enough. It has been durable, useful, and done almost everything I ask of it.On travel days it carries two iPad Pros, one in an Otter Box case, a Kindle Fire, two backup Lion batteries, a bundle of charging cables and plugs, AirPods, passport, USCG documentation, two bundles of keys, TWIC card in a case, water bottle, full-size umbrella, bag of snacks, bag of nips, bag of meds, bottle of Ibuprofen, gum, mints, etc. It swallows all this and more, and while it’s heavy, because of the contents, it’s manageable and fits under the airplane seat.The bag has survived 6 years of brutal treatment in airports and aboard the commercial vessels I drive. It’s been my constant companion, and I only have one complaint. It doesn’t stand up on its own when fully loaded. When I place it upright on the floor or other surfaces it slowly leans forward, and eventually topples. So, I have to lean it against things or place it in such a way that it doesn’t fall.I’m writing this after six years of happy use because I finally broke one of the many zippers. I blame myself for overloading the main storage area and forcing the zipper.So, I’m retiring this great bag and, after much research replacing it with the SwissGear 5358, which is slightly larger and has a few slightly different design features. I’ll let you know if it measures up.

Reviewed in Mexico on February 23, 2018
Es una mochila robusta, de material grueso y resistente (y hasta el momento impermeable), con mucho espacio al interior. Las líneas blancas son de material reflejante. El compartimiento para la laptop de hasta 15.6" tiene cierre lateral, el cierre que sigue después de este es para abrir en su totalidad la mochila a fin de mostrar el equipo en la revisión de los aeropuertos y también tiene espacio para acomodar folders o libretas. El cierre siguiente es el que tiene más espacio, tiene la bolsa para el reproductor o celular y tiene en el fondo el elemento acolchado que cuando lo bajas permite que la mochila permanezca parada así como una bolsa de malla con cierre en la parte superior del compartimiento. Por último dos cierres más al frente en el exterior de la mochila; uno en la parte inferior para guardar lapiceros, colgar las llaves del gancho incluido, memorias, etc., otro en la parte superior un poco más pequeño. En el exterior de la mochila hay dos bolsas laterales con cierre en donde caben perfectamente los cables de la computadora y a cada lado de estas bolsas la tradicional bolsa de malla para transportar bebidas. En los tirantes acojinados encontrarás un elemento para colgar tus anteojos. El asa superior viene reforzado y al frente encontrarás un gancho para sujetar tu chamarra o cualquier otra cosa que en tu viaje cargues.
