Review on ๐ŸŽ’ Black Checkpoint Friendly Samsonite Classic Backpack by Bradley Wacks

Revainrating 3 out of 5

From the owner of EverKi. For the price - not bad.

From the looks of it I really want to give this backpack 3 1/2 stars. It's better than normal. but I come from the possession of Everki Atlas. In my review it is therefore specifically compared to this backrest. What I like: (1)Adjustable Velcro closure for whatever you carry around for your laptop. I'm either a 15-inch MBPr or an iPad Pro, whichever I get away with. (2) Simple large main compartment - very large - and a large raised mesh in this compartment providing easy access to various things (3) Convenient accommodation of pen, business card, organizer compartment (4) Very very good comfortable carrying handle and very good ventilation on the Back.(5) 2 lbs lighter than EverKi(6) Convenient Checkpoint(7) Price(8) P. This bag doesn't have an "always open" front compartment, but if you open the front compartment and leave it open, it can fulfill the same purpose. It's a bit smaller but a good spot for quick stuff, especially for airport use. What I didn't like/miss: (1) The rear falls forward! the lid for my main work lies open on my desk, but there is no point - the bag falls forward! (2) This bag (smaller than the next size up backpack) lacks a rear shell, allowing you to slide the back over the carry handle to wheel your rolled luggage. I really miss that a lot - why carry a back on your back when you're at the airport and still have luggage to wheel. (3) The water bottle straps are not very tight. and remains transparent. Placing an iPhone there attracts thieves. (4) No top sunglass compartment! For me personally this is of great importance. (5) Zipper quality - there are places where the zippers get stuck due to the support of the internal mold design - it takes two hands to push through these places. MUCH lighter and smaller than EverKi Atlas. and despite these key features listed above, it has a VERY SIMILAR layout - easy to get used to. and much lighter. I'd say it's VERY comfortable to carry on your back.** If only this bag didn't just FALL forward. I would like to give 4.5 stars. and I would be MUCH happier with it! ****
