Review on πŸŽ’ Victorinox Altmont Professional Fliptop Backpack: Top-Notch Storage and Organization by Maria Ngo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The PERFECT backpack for professionals and travelers

From cheap Chinese backpacks for $20 to premium backpacks for $150 from Samsonite. backpacks for the last 2 years. After A LOT of browsing, including reviewing bags in stores for similarly priced brands like Wenger and Thule, physically in stores in countries like the UAE, South Africa and Turkey, I've done my legwork and research. Lifestyle and my travel habits The Victorinox Almont Professional was the only backpack that met my needs: big enough to put things in, easily accessible compartments, good looking and high price. I have a pair of Sennheiser headphones in a hard case, and they take up quite a bit of space (which I used to complain about because of the many pockets). The backpack doesn't "squeeze" other bags when you fill it with things, which is great. With multiple compartments, a detachable cable manager, a built-in multi-tool, and an easy-access flip-top lid, I really have to choose where to put what! It has all kinds of pockets. The laptop and tablet compartment is padded and doesn't feel "medium" - it's actually secure for your computer. From the outside it doesn't feel very "premium" and it's just a basic black backpack, but in my opinion it's fine, if you're on a budget it doesn't matter to go for a full leather or suede finish to have. My packs can withstand any weather - from desert sands to freezing rain - and they should survive what I expect. I'd love to paint it Thule Ocean Blue bit by bit, but like I said, it's no big deal. I counted the days until it was delivered to me and was delighted when it finally arrived. After putting so much effort into finding my perfect backpack, I'm really very happy!
