Smaller than my other 35L backpack

Not sure if the laptop sleeve fits a laptop. This sleeve doesn't fit my 17" Dell Latitude laptop, but it does fit in my bag. The rest of the backpack is smaller than I expected. My everyday backpack is the Targus Drifter II, and while it wasn't full, I couldn't stash all my items in these.At first glance I thought I accidentally bought the 25L version but the label actually said 35L.Came back before trying to use this but did a test with a full one . Crate.

  • Hands Free

Well padded and weather resistant

The zippers are a bit tight and the medium sized pocket is a bit cavernous, especially during jet lag and when it needs to be emptied for airport security. However, after several months of lugging around some work gear on the wet Mexican coast, I feel good about packing everything in a pelican and storing it in a locked cupboard every day. Also well-designed and padded pockets to separate and carry your laptop and yoga laptop. I tried smaller and larger sizes and went for the larger one; the…

Really wanted to like it

I needed a really good waterproof backpack after my last backpack got my laptops wet after going to class in the rain. But this backpack had too many downsides for me to abandon. In the beginning there just weren't enough pockets for all my stuff: a pencil case, power banks, cables, a laptop charger, a tablet. The top pocket merges into the main pocket, so I found it difficult to get notebooks in and out when full. And the shoulder straps were uncomfortable and felt very ribbed and stiff. Other

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • unreliable

Consider your specific needs

I use Pelican cases, big and small, they set the standard. When I saw this pack while looking for a new one I thought I'd struck gold. It's a quality package, built really well, it's not for me. 2 things prevent this from being what I need. First, as other reviews have said, these zippers are difficult to open. If you think you can pull a book or something out of this thing while it's under the plane seat, you won't, the zippers don't work smoothly in turns. And secondly, the lack of small…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Some little things

Thoughtful design, very well finished with quality materials

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…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Safety
