Review on EBags Professional πŸŽ’ Junior Laptop Backpack Limited Edition by Erin Ellis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Comfortable and stylish business backpack

This is a very durable and well made professional backpack. I have used many backpacks to carry my laptop to work and this is the best balance of functionality, elegance and comfort. As a backpack, the straps are comfortable even under load. I couldn't decide which I prefer, this one or the larger eBags Professional Slim Laptop Backpack. The junior is a few inches smaller vertically (hence the name) (outer zipper areas are shorter) and maybe 1/2 inch deep. A newer model, eBags have made some improvements to the Junior - there's an extra pocket in the laptop section to put items that you don't really want to fold. The only place I "suffer" I think is on the outside of the valve - boarding passes (if you still use them) and checkbook might not fit in easily. What could suit Junior? My usual daily content is: 13" laptop, soup/stew in Stanley container, vacuum coffee jug, gym clothes, iPad, headphones (e.g. Bose 35 - bottom of "hard case" + glasses case, laptop). , wallet, bus ticket , change, pens). Love all the pockets in the second zippered section! I thought the L-zipper design for the laptop section and "everything" section would be annoying if it didn't open fully , but that didn't bother me at all. As mentioned, the external zippered water bottle holder is a bit short for a 1 liter mug, but it's perfect for 1/2 liter travel coffee/tea mugs. Oh, and Heather Gray is a stunning textured color I also really like the lack of extra straps - to me it gives the backpack a sleeker, more professional look and the absence of those straps means there is less chance of the strap snagging on chairs etc . Such a situation is uncomfortable when stuck on an airplane seat) it is loaded and buckled, lands on my lower back. And if you actually want to take it on a long "hike", you can add a third-party hip belt (thread through the luggage handle opening).
