Review on Brenthaven Broadmore Backpack Black: Sleek and Durable Travel Companion by Pamela Jefferies

I just received this backpack and I am already very happy with it. The laptop compartment is very padded and pretty awesome. There is approximately 1 inch of padding at the bottom and curved, contoured padding on the sides that both protects the laptop and closely conforms to its size. There are no external water bottle pockets, but both side pockets have thoughtful inner linings that make them ideal for storing small to medium sized bottles (think 22 ounces). The entire bag opens and folds in half for airport check-in. The back has nice padding that leaves ridges for airflow as you snuggle up against your back. The bag is a bit bigger and heavier than I'm used to (3.1lbs) but it's worth the weight and I can say it would be a wonderful bag that "does it all" for me.
