Great backpack for work and the gym

After a long search I chose this backpack that started my search. I wanted to stop lugging two bags (a gym bag and a work laptop) every day. That helped. Pros: The shoe compartment is spacious and separate from the rest of the bag. So that the bag does not smell. I wear a size 12 4E wide and they fit perfectly. I think 13 is probably the biggest pair of shoes that will fit in there. The bag expands a little when you start to pack a lot of clothes and other items in it. Laterally expandable bottle holders (hard to find with sports and work backpacks on the market) Laptop holder has a lot of padding and can be closed Compartments for chargers and other accessories (could have more, but that's enough for me) The backpack also stands up with shoes Cons: The Shoe compartment occupies the same space as the front pocket. I have size 12 shoes there and I would say they take up 75% of the space. I have enough space to slide gym clothes in, but no more. I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt, but it's tough. More organization compartments for cords and other items could be used. The laptop compartment is in the same opening where the gym bag opens. That can be annoying. I wish the laptop had a separate zippered compartment. I can fit an extra pair of jeans and a sweater in this fold-out compartment, it expands easily and the zipper closes easily. Overall the backpack is great and hard to find for the price. other options on the market. The Topo Designs Core Pack comes close, but after using it personally I found this option to be more professional and easier to use with side bottle cage pockets. My back got better. After 2 days of use I can say that I made the right decision. - Updated: About 14 months of use and the backpack is falling apart. A zipper no longer closes. There is a big hole in the top of the backpack. I downgraded it to 3 stars. Although Targus has a guarantee on it, navigating their website to use them is very difficult.

Pros
  • Padded and ventilated front compartment for work or sports shoes
Cons
  • Something different
