Absolutely the best large multi pocket backpack. Buy this.

Bought for my son and he loves it. It ’s a great size, he prefers large backpacks for all his school and sports stuff and they are not easy to find. This one is nice looking, very well made, seems pretty rugged and tough and is large.

5 Cry2608
I love the backpack it's very big!!! But ca n't really find binders in it it but the structured back is very nice.

5 NotBob
We bought this for my high school son to use as his daily school back pack. It works great. We debated on what size to get. We are so glad we got this one and did n't go with a smaller bag. His bag holds his lap top, 3 small binders, a couple of books and a lunch bag quite well. And so far, we are very happy with the quality. I know this bag is bigger and therefore a more expensive, but it has been worth it, plus I am hoping this bag will last more than one school year.

I bought this pack several weeks ago. It fits my computer, peripherals, water bottle, wallet, phone, etc. It keeps sunglasses or regular glasses safe with the pouch at the top. It is comfortable on my back and oh so much better than my previous backpack that was painful when my laptop was inside. I use it for work related activities. I am not sure if I will use it for weekend use but mainly because I like how sleek and clean it looks. However, I will use if for travel.

Nicest backpack I 've ever owned. Lots of small, thoughtful touches( a clip and lanyard for keys, magnetic rests for zippers). Lots of pockets- maybe even too many but I have a hard time citing that as a complaint. A couple of little nits but generally an excellent very practical and stylish bag.

5 Newyorkcitygirlie
I love this backpack! Has pockets in all the right places. Perfect for work and travel

5 Liz
I plan on using it as my personal item rather than a purse for an upcoming trip. I like the idea of being able to carry my kindle, neckrest, shoes phone and my wallet rather than in my carryon for easy access. The fact that it hooks on to my Away Bigger Carry On is exactly what I was looking for.

5 DW
Really useful, looks very nice and has lots of smart ways to pack things away. Really good detail too, overall very happy with the purchase and would recommend to anyone wanting a commutable backpack.

5 Bambam
Good for work travel and fits easy under the airline seat. The bag could use a couple of more interior pockets with smaller depths. The current pockets( and there are plenty!) all extend to the bottom of the bag. Which means you re reaching all the way down to the bottom of the bag to find stuff. It's a minor inconvenience, but could be avoided.

When selecting a backpack for work, consider features such as ample storage space, organizational compartments, and padded sections for electronics. Comfort is also crucial, so look for adjustable straps and padded back panels. Additionally, weather resistance can be important to protect your belongings from the elements.

The ideal size for a work backpack typically ranges from 20 to 30 liters, providing enough space for a laptop, documents, and personal items without being overly bulky. It's important to choose a size that fits your daily needs while remaining comfortable to carry. Consider how much you usually transport to find the right fit.

Absolutely! Many work backpacks are designed with versatility in mind, making them suitable for various activities such as commuting, travel, or even casual outings. Look for features like removable straps or stylish designs that transition well from the office to leisure activities.
