HI
I need a new backpack for work as current one is not very supportive and I occasionally need to do a bit of walking when I have it with me. Often carry my 12' laptop with me so something that can has a pock or sleeve for that would be helpful.
Any suggestions on brands and where to buy?
thanks
Hi
I've been using the Crumpler Red Dry no5 (https://www.crumpler.com/au/dry-red-no-6/) for a few months now and rate it highly in terms of practicality and quality of the product. I walk and travel a lot for work. Comfortably holds a few books, papers, laptop, lunch box, bottle etc…
It goes on sale relatively regularly, I picked mine up from rushfaster.com.au earlier this year for about $90
Try finding a decent backpack without a laptop sleeve these days, nearly impossible.
I'd suggest looking at the north face range. I've got two and they're both bulletproof. There are definitely higher quality bags out there but I find my north face bags to be extremely versatile and still really good quality.
I'm using a Herschel Pop Quiz for work. It has a padded area for a laptop.
Got it from Rushfaster during one of their many sales.
I have great experience with Swissgear. They are always at fair price, basic professional look, and you can fit a world inside!
I’ve been using the same ikea backpack for two years now. It’s very light but comfy and room for laptop. I think it cost about 20 bucks. Only problem is it’s bright pink and I’d like a more subtle colour for my next backpack but this one is far from giving up on me.
Samsonite, American Tourister and Targus make good laptop backpacks. Check out bagworld.com.au if they have any special discounts on them. I would also check TK Maxx store if you have any around.
LL Bean and The North Face are also very good brands but not sure if they are available here.
