Great review!! Just ordered this backpack and excited to try it out! One thing I will note, whenever there isn't a great false bottom for laptop compartment, I like to simply fold up a thick microfiber rag at the bottom below my laptop, it adds a lot of cushion to the bottom, for when I set the backpack down, while also doubling as a rag for cleaning down my MacBook screen or eye glasses as needed :) A T-shirt would also work well if you're tight on space in the main compartment for ultra light travel :) I find using my laptop sleeve would be overkill if the front/back of laptop pocket is already super padded & would take up extra space

[@ExclusivelyC4]

Really well made video! Appreciate how you actually filled it with items.

[@PackHacker2]

Glad you liked it!

[@mariocaruana]

Thanks for mentioning the lack of a false bottom.

[@marekbazant925]

Very well-reviewed.

[@adamkstevens]

Great review. Personally, I really appreciate the lighter-colored interior fabric. Makes finding things inside a little bit easier.

[@chrisw3327]

Me too. I suppose that as this bag is meant to have a business or 'professional' style, that's why a more boring colour has been used. We wouldn't want to give business professional leaders and powermongers the impression that us underlings had imagination or creativity or a not-so-serious side, would we? 🕺💃

[@exergyone7164]

I'd very much rather swing on my left shoulder and then use my right hand to operate the bag features. The Timbuk2 Tuck Pack that I own is backwards, and love the bag, but hate that specific design choice.

[@chrisw3327]

I haven't tried it, but I read that rubbing a candle on zippers helps to lubricate them and this could reduce their noisiness.

[@georgesotiropoulos1851]

Based on your reviews, can you suggest other backpacks with better false bottoms?

[@joanandIsrael]

thanks for this. considering this. do you have a better suggestion for a bag for work-laptop, lots of pockets, a little extra space for some extra things

[@Tmdkiller]

May I know what bottle size are you using? I'm asking because I'm thinking which bottle size to get that could fit it

[@julla1416]

Great vid.

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for watching! 😃 -Eric

[@colin6711]

Does this backpack has a suspended laptop compartment?

[@danialk8435]

Can you please tell me which 2-3 bags have the best false bottom? Or overall best protective laptop backpack? I've read all your website's stuff, but i'm so confused on being able to make a single choice. 1) false bottom 2) organization for notebooks + pens 3) waterbottle holders

[@SC-or2zb]

which bag did you go with? Kind of lookign for similar things

[@xksun40]

best back pack ive ever owned

[@PackHacker2]

What’s your favorite thing about it? -Eric

[@xksun40]

@@PackHacker2 slim and structured

[@jopathmusic]

How much shorter does the backpack get when you cinch it down? It's 3cm too long for Canadian flights

[@roccomment8374]

Are you sure? It looks under for Air Canada and WestJet.

[@FilledHunchbacks]

Why don't any of these bags come with a place to put your cellphone - on the shoulder straps. :(

[@PackHacker2]

You can always add one on with something like the Chrome Industries Phone Pouch! More info: packhacker.com/travel-gear/chrome/phone-pouch/ -Eric
