Overview
A tradesperson or commuter gets a ripstop polyester messenger with a flap closure, a nylon lining and a shoulder strap in the box. The fabric has a durable water repellent finish for light rain.
The reason to buy is the tough ripstop fabric and a spacious main compartment that takes a large laptop and daily papers. The limit is internal organization: only a few pockets and sections are listed, and rain protection is repellent, not waterproof.
Who it's for
Job sites, offices and daily carry of a laptop, tablet and documents. Those who need a backpack carry, heavy-duty rain sealing or many internal pockets should look at other bags.
Pros and cons
- Ripstop polyester fabric
- Durable water repellent
- Room for a large laptop
- Shoulder strap included
- Water repellent, not waterproof
- Single shoulder carry
- Padding not listed
Performance notes
Ripstop weave limits tears by stopping a snag from spreading, and the water repellent finish beads light rain. A flap closure covers the opening so rain runs off, but water can still reach the seams in heavy weather. A single strap carries the load on one shoulder.
