Backpack

I use to have the Original backpack from 2018. I just updated my bag about 2 years ago. All I have to say it is well worth it and love it always. I know there are many bags out there but this is the best bag for traveling and pairing with cubes helps even more. I love how organized I can keep everything in this backpack! If I need the space. . . no worries the extension help so much!

My only critique is for NOMATIC to bring back the double zippers on each side of the main compartment and the small compartment. It helped so much!!!!

Overall, I like this backpack! I picked it out 3 mo ago as a commuter bag for the laptop and tablet sleeves. It comfortably fits my 16" MacBook and 13" iPad. Sometimes it's a bit difficult to remove them or put them in the bag, because of the sleeve shape and stiffness of the bag. I've received compliments on how nice the bag looks, and it fits a decent amount. I like that it has two drink pockets and they close when not used. The big downside to this bag and the reason I took away a star is the material. The outside zippered pocket has a ton of storage compartments, but because of the stiff outer material, small things like travel contact solution/lotion/medicine, or really anything that isn't flat, can make it a pain or impossible to zip closed. Unless you need to store a ton of very flat things separately, a lot of the storage is useless because of the outer material. I hope they revisit the material or outer zip pocket, a few tweaks and it could be perfect!

Used it for about 4 months. Love that it holds so much and still has a sleek look. I'm able to carry 2 small laptops with chargers, plus paperwork when needed. Favorite feature is that it holds it's shape and stands upright (as long as weight is balanced).

The most annoying thing is the zippers. They are tricky to get around the top corners of the bag. I thought over time it would become more pliable, but it it hasn't. I know the structure of the bag to keep it's shape affects this, but it would be nice to be able to zip with one hand. The other negative is the difficult snaps that hold down the straps when not in use. They are so hard to close and they unsnap often when there's a bit of weight in the bag. Otherwise the bag seems durable and is very comfortable. Holds everything I need (except larger/taller water bottles since the pockets are too shallow).
