EVERKI Onyx Premium Business Executive Laptop Backpack - Ballistic Nylon and Leather Office Backpack Laptop Bag Travel Friendly

Been an airline grunt now for 20+ years. The biz can be a meat grinder and those of you in know what I'm talking about when it comes to tools of the trade. I've owned Samsonite, TravelPro, Purdy Neat (aka LuggageWorks), and Briggs and Riley. Whether it's a trip to Scranton or Singapore, we NEED durable stuff for our, uh, stuff. Our gear needs to abide rogue hotel van drivers, dirty cockpits and galleys, deadheads crammed into coach like a rhesus monkey and on and on. Don't listen to/read the self-proclaimed road warriors' travel gear reviews. Listen to flight crews' reviews. Our stuff takes a beating that makes an NFL linebacker grimace. My luggage complement now consists of Briggs and Riley roll-a-board and THIS. I buy quality crap because I need it to last but couldn't justify the mega-$$ for the B&R companion backpack. This bad boy is just as good as anything B&R makes if not better, and for less money. I read a LOT of reviews beforehand and really wanted something that worked especially well in the flight deck. Here's where this dude shines: * It sits upright and doesn't flop on the ground like a Premier League midfielder. * It has an excellent and sturdy sunglass holder...ON TOP! Pilots take note. That little space to your left or right) up front is limited. Idk about other planes but it fits perfectly in a B757/B767/B777, etc. * The front pocket with a magnetic latch is perfect for your Telex headset. * The rear laptop/iPad pockets are generous and hold my collapsible cockpit window shades in addition to the other stuff like a clipboard (that we use to hold our lunch). * Plenty of pen and doodad holders. * Sleeve for sliding over roll-a-board handle. * One-of-a-kind zippered side pocket for passport and wallet. Not completely hidden but close enough. * THE ZIPPERS! Chunky and robust, like your captain that's subsisted on crew meals for years. * Overall construction and material is great. * Not a spaghetti mess of useless dangly straps that nobody EVER uses. I'm talking about you North Face. * The side pockets are fantastic. I use one to hold my flashlight. The other for an umbrella. One of 'em is purportedly for a water bottle but haven't used it as such yet. Granted, this unit is new. Let's see what a few trips does to it! Read more

I don’t write reviews - I think this might be my first ever on Amazon. But I’m so happy with this bag I had to post. It’s worth every penny. I’m a weekly business traveler and this bag is perfect. The pocket for sliding onto my luggage handle is well designed and drops onto my Samsonite roller easily. Comfortably fits a large laptop, my ipad, and anything else I want or need to carry. Outside is very stylish and sleek and durable. Inside is velvet smooth but durable. I even had a TSA agent compliment me on the bag the other day. “Hey, that’s a damn nice backpack!” It’s got several easy access pockets to drop your watch, wallet, phone(s), keys, phones, etc. in to zoom thru security. I just can’t say enough about how well this is designed… it’s like the designer was an experienced biz traveler. If you are on the fence just do it, you won’t regret it. I’m a buy it for lifer and this is the backpack I was looking for. Read more

When I received this backpack I immediately thought I would return it. When I loaded my laptop and large iPad, plus all my cords, notepads, headphones, etc for a flight; I realized this pack would hold everything I needed it to, plus whatever I may not need. I’m glad I chose this pack and not something larger. This pack is very well designed and and has all the capacity most people need. My one complaint is that like everything else, it shouldn’t cost this much but if you willing to spend extra to get what you really want, this might be the pack for you. Read more

I purchased the Everki Onyx Premium Business Executive Laptop Backpack for my daughter to use as her daily school bag and for travel. The material is excellent, reminiscent of Tumi's ballistic nylon, though slightly stiffer. The bag comfortably fits a 13" MacBook, an iPad, and a few books, making it ideal for school or business use. It also provides good protection for the laptop, which is a big plus. The build quality feels solid, and I believe this bag will hold up for years of use. The backpack offers great organization features, including a dedicated laptop compartment, a separate space for a tablet, and additional pockets for accessories. The hard-shell sunglasses case and RFID-blocking pocket are standout features that add to its functionality and security, especially for travelers. However, there’s a significant design flaw: the side compartment for a water bottle is too small. Standard water bottles with a diameter of 3" barely fit, and even then, the zipper struggles to close. The built-in strap designed to secure the bottle feels like an afterthought—it’s ineffective if the base of the bottle doesn’t fit securely in the compartment. I had to search for a slimmer bottle with a 2" diameter, which is not easy to find. This has been echoed by other reviewers as well, making it a consistent area for improvement. Overall, it’s a high-quality bag with great durability, excellent organizational features, and a professional design. While the water bottle compartment could use a redesign, this bag remains a solid choice for school, business, or travel use. Read more

The bag looks professional and really nice. It cleans and and doesn’t attract debris. The padding is very soft and protective. The pockets are functional for a multi-tasker. It holds a lot in a compact appearance. I’ve had a binder and books in the front pocket. Two laptops in the back pocket. A power cable in the center side middle pocket. The straps are very comfortable. It’s not bulky. I didn’t want to spend the extra coins and I’m pleased with my bag. Read more
