Samsonite 17 Litres Kombi Large Backpack (Black/Brown)

I bought this bag as I wanted something that has good compartments and easy to store my laptop and tablet whilst having room for other items. Whilst this bag look rather dated and old-fashioned, I was extremely pleased with the way it has been designed. There is a tablet compartment and a laptop compartment. The opening of the bag is also very unique as it opens akin a fan rather than a top loader like many bags. There are 2 additional document sleeves which keeps my papers neat and uncrumpled. The front of the bag has a top zippered area which I keep my mouse and cables. The other zipped compartment carries my battery pack and other stationaries. This is truly a mobile office.

Very nice looking backpack, lots of compartments. The laptop pocket is big enough for my MacBook Pro 15,4” WITH the sleeve on. I prefer to keep it in the sleeve because the padding is not that thick. Would recommend it without hesitation.

I have been using this backpack for almost 4 years and it is still in mint condition. There is not a single loose thread even after all these years. The bag is spacious and has lots of pockets and compartments.

I'll cut to the chase, buy this backpack! Ok, why? I have cycled through the usual variety of backpacks, messenger bags and satchels to carry my laptop and assorted gear while traveling and I always found myself looking for something else. This tells me that what I had, what I adapted, simply wasn't right. Initially, I was looking at Tumi as an option but then I saw this pack, when I held them up side by side I began to wonder if those 4 letters (t-u-m-i) were really worth the premium price; in my opinion, compared to this pack, the answer is no. The Kombi has a premium feel to it, the woven exterior not only feels premium but also is fantastic for combating wear and the inevitable scuffs that a travel bag will endure when stuffed under the seat. The shoulder straps are well padded and comfortable and the compartments make total sense. I am able to readily carry two laptops, an iPad and the other assorted gear that I travel with securely and comfortably. I like the orange interior since it makes it easy to see everything inside the pack, no hunting for the errant black USB cable in an all black interior anymore. Further, the bag stands up on its own, even when fully loaded so that makes it easy to retrieve whatever you need and the main compartment opens up in such a way that everything remains upright. This is a backpack for someone who is looking for something that is professional, understated and still stylish. I have plenty of technical backpacks however when I travel, whether an overnight or a weeks long trip, this is the backpack I trust. My only gripe is that I wish I had known about it before. If you're looking for a travel backpack, your search is over, this is your bag!
