A Positive Review Focused On Functionality

Posted by: VXYZDevelopers from on 09/05/2015To kick off my review I would like to start off by saying that this backpack is very visually appealing and visually versatile. It's also very durable and has been to the beach multiple times without the mesh on the back and shoulder straps being caked with sand, a problem I have had with other backpacks. The pockets on the side of the backpack for water bottles and other items are large enough to hold literally any water bottle I put in them without making the pack feel too heavy on one side. The pockets can also be used to store other items and I have had no problem with them falling out, I usually store a wallet a pack of cigarettes and lighter in one pocket and have never had a single time where the items have fallen out. The outside front pocket can be used to store a tablet, or if you prefer more security (i do this at the beach to avoid getting sand on my iPad) there is an area outside the laptop compartment which can hold my iPad perfectly. The outside front pocket also can hold more than just an iPad, as i keep my iPad in a very thick protective sleeve which you could fit 2 iPads in, as well as a nexus 7 tablet in the same pocket, it may not be the best idea to store an iPad mini or a smaller android tablet in this pocket if you plan on it being the only thing in this pocket because if the pack is turned upside out it may slide out, the sleeve of my iPad keeps my nexus 7 tablet secure and I've never had a problem with anything falling out of this backpack, but its just food for thought as i am trying to post the most informative review i possibly can. The first zipper compartment (closest to your back) is great for storage, i don't carry around 3 laptops at once but i packed up a 15 inch windows laptop, a 13 inch classic macbook pro, and a 13 inch retina macbook pro all comfortably in this one zippered section each one protected from scratching against the other due to the way this zippered section is set up, normally i use this section to store My Macbook Pro Retina 13, Alternate storage for my iPad, and storage for my windows laptop when i carry it around with me, i also keep a folder with envelopes and loose leaf paper in this compartment mostly to shield several thousand dollars worth of electronics from any harder items that i may store in the next pocket so the weight is more evenly distributed, I've always done this with all my backpacks, and its more of a personal preference than anything else. The next zippered section has 2 mesh pockets at the top which are useful for storing my wallet and apple watch when i go to the beach or when i want my wallet to be a little bit more secure, they could also be used to store food like granola bars for snacking, the rest of this compartment is the largest compartment of the backpack which i use to store things that are usually not EDC items, extra changes of clothes, books, bluetooth speaker, sandals, iPad sleeve (when my iPad is in use) and other misc items, This pocket also folds down to reduce the footprint of the pack when not in use. The safety zone with the hard shell is nice and i use it to store a charger brick, earbuds, lightning cable, micro usb cable, car keys, and other smaller items that i may want easy access to. The last zippered compartment behind the open pocket i use to store my tablets is great for carrying a pen/pencil and smaller items. This backpack is one of the best choices if technology is an important part of your EDC, but if you are only carrying one laptop and nothing else i feel like you may be better off with one of the other packs thule offers. If this brand is a little out of your price range i would recommend to look at solo backpacks, maybe even incase which are also well thought out but do not have the same lifespan/durability as Thule's products. Incase may be a better option if you're a college student looking for something that still specifically can accommodate a macbook and iPad, and solo backpacks are also great because they are a lot less expensive than other brands. I thought i would mention the other brands to inform you, both brands are also carried at best buy and are almost always in stock, but if you're serious about EDC and carry a backpack with you literally everywhere you go you may want to stay with Thule brand, i feel like these can easily last a very long time, and they also have a 25 year warranty which shows that they stand behind their products.
