KENSINGTON'S RARA AVIS: A bag that has EXACTLY what is advertised on Revain AND MORE!

At a time when few things ever arrive exactly as described, this 17-inch lockable backpack from Kensington is a rarity. Nothing is perfect however - and I wish it were that lighter interior color to be able to see items in deep/rich pockets better and made a few small changes - overall the design, materials, finish and functionality are all for an international Million mile business flyers like me feel so close to perfection for my needs (pics to follow) I rarely, if ever, check my bag because as all street fighters know, getting in and out of airports quickly is death , or worse, they get lost or thrown under most airplane seats/suitcases on top - a holdall comes in very handy. If you pack smart and it's not yet deep winter at your destination, you can easily pack two days of business casual wear for the clothing department and a 15-inch MacBook. Pro (we have 10.5 iPad + keyboard (also with soft cushion), earphones in case, digital camera, 10K backup battery/chargers + cables, two iPhones, sunglasses, readers, Kindle, SIGG 750 ml water bottle (inside or in a external zip holder), keys (on the included clip), mini umbrella, magazines (in case you're still dumping trees) and workbooks with plenty of room on my shoulders as well as on my trolley case I need the excellent descriptions and photos in the Kensington advertisement above no need to repeat to say that all claims are true and to point out some important details that I don't remember highlighting: 1. This empty bag is VERY light for its size: a large one Plus in this day and age when airlines weigh everything on the plane (and no doubt will start weighing customers soon!) seems to resist scratches and tears well (upgrade after a month on the way)3. Not to mention that the bottom of the bag is covered with a high-density rubberized PVC layer, which is probably waterproof to protect it from being damaged on uneven floors or in humid places.4. There is a discreet but useful zipped top pocket just below the carry handle to store my RayBans in a hard case or to hold a passport + wallet, keys and/or a smartphone or two for easy access at airports etc. to grab. e.5. Like all laptop bags, it has a TSA compliant laptop compartment for those who are not TSA Pre/Global Entry certified (in the US).6. The lock/hold down system is the best I've seen, the zippers are strong and secure, the zipper pullers are very strong metal. It's impossible to break into this bag without destroying it, greatly increasing the chances of a successful insurance claim unless the thief simply sneaks past your bag and into an adjacent bag. Conclusion: This bag is well made, looks good, has all the features I need and at around $95 is an incredibly good value. Being able to keep an eye on my bag while I'm at work or lugging it to the bathroom for a minute or two is priceless for me when I'm out and about. If you're carrying today's complete business kit, chances are you've got somewhere between $3,000-$5,000 worth of an easily stolen/sold item in your pocket, not to mention your papers and passport. Being able to pack all of that into a nice $100 bag is a big dose of design magic, in my opinion, and a simple task: BUY THIS BAG.
