Review on 🎒 Synthetic Water Resistant Shoulder Backpack for Business by Erika Carroll

I needed an office bag that would hold my laptop, some accessories and gear. I was looking for something that would work well in a business setting and wasn't ridiculously expensive. After a lot of research I settled on this one and the great thing about it is that the branding is very subtle and the design is pretty minimal and I don't feel like a student using it at work. The bag transforms, you can hide the straps of the backpack and use it as a briefcase. It is good and well suited for office environment. It has enough pockets for my use, but if you're looking for something with more internal compartments, this bag isn't for you. The expandability of the bag is great and I can pack a lot into it. I think it's big enough even as the only bag for a short 2-3 day trip. The side water bottle pocket is nice too and I love that it can be zipped closed which gives the bag a better look. Two important things lower my overall score. First, this bag is not waterproof. Only the outer compartment is waterproof. The rest of the bag is missing. I learned this the hard way when I got caught in a downpour and everything in my bag was wet. Even the laptop compartment got wet! It's advertised as waterproof, but they should mention that it only has one outside pocket. I would not have bought this bag if I had known about it. Second, it's heavier than I expected. I couldn't find the exact weight of this model online, but it didn't seem that heavy compared to other models. But this. One of the reasons I was looking for a new bag was because my previous bag was heavy. This bag is basically the same weight. If you're looking for a lightweight bag, this isn't it. Those two points aside, this is a great bag. The design is great and it has a lot of nice features for the price. But if I had known that it is not fully waterproof and that it is not a lightweight bag, I would not have bought it.
