When I first ordered it on Kickstarter I thought - this pack may be a little too large for a daily backpack. But it looks so awesome to bring it to work. So why not?
When it first arrived - dang... everything looks like it may be a little too small to fit everything I need for work and my after work activities (gym / climb / runs). But the quality (I ordered the daily bag and super light weight packing cubes) looks absolutely fantastic. The guys did a good job putting in thoughtful pockets to keep and organize everything.
Actual use?
Its my new go-to bag for the city.
I can put in all my work stuff + after work gear e.g. climbing gear all into one bag. With space to spare for a 500 ml water bottle or small umbrella. Usually after I put my work shoes in, its packed to the brim. The organizing is easy with all the convenient pockets. Easy access no problems. If anything gets lost I simply open the lid fully and TA-DA.
Top Row L to R - Minaal Daily / 14" Laptop / Box File for Documents / Climb Shoes / Chalk Bag / Sit Harness
Middle Row L to R - MP3 player / Flip Flops / PAS / Various Karabiners and Belay Devices
Bottom ROW L to R - Notebook / Staff Pass / Wallet / Hand Phone / Coin Pouch / Climbing Attire
Design: Its sweet as comfortable, well thought out and a blast to commute with. Everything is easily accessible, with the organizing pockets. Pockets are not too big that things become lost inside and not too small - everything your need fits instantly.
Looks: The profile is compact, sleek and simple. You look smart with your work attire. After work, still pretty chic not like a nerd heading home after a session at the gym.
Price: Not the cheapest laptop bag in the market. But with all the nifties you get its well worth it. I have a feeling it will also last a long long time.
Bottom line: This is not for you if you're just looking for something cheap and does the job. But if you want to look good to, during and after, good design, great quality and transition from work to play matters to you... this is the one bag you have been waiting for. The one to replace them all. Almost - as girls, we can never have enough =p but this comes darn close.
- Updated after 2 Years of Daily use -
Still in fantastic condition. Except for the logo peeling off slightly everything else is intact.No coating peels yet. The material in the inner shoulder straps are slightly stretched out.
I've used it so far for daily commutes to and from work, short work trips, the gym after.
The logo starting to peel - doesn't bother me at all
No wear on the lower back that usually happens with my other packs
Slight stretch of the inner strap material due to usage
