Troubadour Apex 4 0 Compact - 16L Premium Laptop Backpack - Ergonomic Water Resistant - Designed for Work

I love this bag even for the price. I know the price is steep but the quality is insanely good and it is comfortable. I would say the quality equates the price. This one is a smaller backpack, it can probably fit a 13in laptop but it will be a snug fit - so anything bigger definitely won't fit. I usually travel with just an 11in iPad pro and that fits perfectly fine. It can holds a light jacket and a water bottle on the inside (and some snacks) but it would be difficult to fit a whole outfit. I do think the water bottle holders on the side don't really hold a water bottle. They are pretty small and tight. Sliding it under an airplane seat leaves plenty of foot room because it is a compact bag. I used to travel with a standard size backpack and the under-seat storage always left it hanging out a little, taking up my foot space, but this one does not. It is a little stiff but I acquaint that to the newness. If you are looking for a compact, stylish, work/ travel backpack - then this is probably for you (if you are willing to pay the high price) Read more

This is a very polished looking backpack. It is well organized, with a thin section for laptops, tablet, and journal and a larger section for my lunch and other bulky items. This small/large organization is the best I've used. I like the handle on top, the outside zip pocket (which is lined), and the straps. It's very comfortable, even when full. I really like the inner organization pockets. Things that could be slightly better (and maybe are in the larger pack). The outside water bottle pocket is ever so slightly too short, so a tall water bottle fits into it but can easily pop out if you lean forward. I like the slide for a suitcase - great feature. However, I used it with my Away small suitcase. Although the suitcase handle did slide through it, it was QUITE tight and took some wiggling to get in and out. Often you want to slide the backpack on and off of a suitcase as you're getting in or out of transit or onto planes. This definitely took some time. Perhaps it will loosen up with time. I don't think the Away handle is particularly wide. Read more

This is my new daily work bag. I wanted something that was comfortable for my back but looked more professional. I've been using it for a few months now. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it! Its the perfect size for what I need, and easy on my back. I've been caught in the rain a few times too and so far everything inside has stayed dry. The little zipper pocket on the outside is perfect for my work badge, and I usually slip my cell phone in one of the side pockets. I'm considering buying another for my luggage set! Read more

(This may be a double post due to an issue with Amazon's reviews) I was pleasantly surprised when I got this backpack that it is so much roomier than you'd think for the size. I used to use a Tylt backpack (I got it waaaaay back during their original Kickstarter) and haven't found anything that measured up in terms of features, room and comfort. So color me surprised when I fell in love with this one! I've found I'm able to comfortably fit and carry: - My Apple AirPods Max - iPad Mini - iPad Pro 13" (with the Magic Keyboard) - Laptop - Charger and cables I got both this one for domestic travel and the larger one for international. The straps are super comfortable and I find myself just wearing the backpack instead of immediately putting it over my carry-on handles. I'm frankly shocked at how easy it has been to use and how I can immediately access what I need without losing anything in the cold, dark, unexplored depths of a backpack. This is absolutely worth the money and I'm glad I got it! Read more

Good design but the zipper were a struggle. Doesn't open and close easily. Bag design is good, color is also nice. Pockets inside are helpful. Water bottle pouch is not designed well, bottle drops. For the price, it didn't live up. Ended up returning Read more

Great quality, saying it fits a 16 MacBook is a little misleading though. It barely does and makes closing the zip harder. I’d recommend the larger size for that Read more

I love this backpack. It holds its shape beautifully, so it always looks sleek and polished—perfect for everyday office use—yet it’s surprisingly comfortable to wear. The structure gives it a premium, professional look without feeling stiff or bulky. It functions great as it fits my daily essentials easily, stays organized, and feels well balanced on my back, even when fully packed. The materials feel high quality and durable, and the overall design is minimal, modern, and refined. This is an excellent everyday backpack if you want something that looks sharp for work but is still comfortable and practical for daily use and on top of all that , a great value !! Read more
