Review on Pelican Weatherproof Backpack Mobile Protect Backpacks by Jose Cruz

This is one of the best backpacks I have ever had! The first thing you will notice is the very high quality materials Pelican has used. I have my own business and often have to take short trips for a few days with a laptop and clothes. This is the perfect backpack for that. It not only protects the laptop but everything I put inside. Waterproof zips make a lot of sense (as I've gotten things wet in the past with water getting through traditional zips). The way the main compartment opens and folds makes access very easy. The large, lined top pocket is ideal for small items that need easy access, along with a vertical zip closure on the outside of the bag. Access to the dedicated laptop soft case is very good and offers much more padding and protection than most laptop soft cases (it's the best protection I've seen other than a hard case). The organizational pockets are good and the size is nice. However, it would be nice if they offered dedicated storage for pens and business cards (but that's very minimal). The only thing I improved is the depth of the water bottle pockets on both sides, they're only 4 inches. deep which means a standard water bottle will fall out easily unless you use a bungee cord around the top of the bottle (this can be an issue if trying to access or reinsert the water bottle with one hand) . made the pocket 2 inches lower, i think that would be a big improvement. Since I knew which backpack size would suit me best, I first ordered the Pelican MP25 for comparison. I also find that access to the main compartment of the MP35 nt is significantly better than the MP25 as it is a much larger opening that can be flipped to the side as opposed to the MP25 which is much smaller. The external vertical zip pocket is also much smaller on the MP25. Both bags are very durable, but if you need to carry a change of clothes or even a jacket along with your office essentials, go for the MP35. You will be very glad you did!
