Review: Perfect for Samsung Book5 Pro 14" and Galaxy Tab 10+ - This bag fits my Samsung Book5 Pro 14" and Galaxy Tab 10+ perfectly. Also have plenty of room for the mouse and charger. I will say, the Book5 Pro 14" is about the max for this size bag though. As small as possible with high quality construction was the goal and this bag does the trick. For a few years I have been using an E-bags Slim Pro backpack but since I downsized to a 14" laptop, I wanted a smaller bag as well. I like the minimalist styling to avoid extra attention and it is well built. Downsizing to this bag just makes life on planes and public areas easier. The laptop will not hit the floor if I drop the bag since it is raised from the bottom of the bag so it keeps tech safe. The straps are comfortable enough, with the weight I have in the bag it could have a little extra cushion but by no means a deal breaker. With just the laptop and no tablet, zero comfort issues. With both items, comfortable but eh, could use a little more padding for one shoulder use. The zipper in the main compartment can get stuck on the rain guard flap at times but you eventually get the hang of it and now it rarely happens to me. Ultimately, rather have the rain protection than not. If you are in a high theft area, I would be cautious what you put in the small zipper compartment since pulling downward opens it. Granted, the way the storage is set up in there, nothing should fall out. You can always remove the little pull tab as well if it is a concern. If I could change anything, just a pinch more padding on the straps and I would say adding more colors would help make this product even better than it already is.
Review: Give the zipper a chance! - Honestly my initial reaction to the backpack was not a good one, but I was a day away from leaving on a two week vacation so I decided to give it a chance and I’ve been pleasantly surprised! This is a day bag, so it’s not very big but it’s big enough, that should be taken into account when purchasing. Interestingly the zipper was very difficult to open and close when it was completely empty, BUT after I packed it out and started using it more, it was not longer an issue! Packing it really helps the zipper to open more easily since it’s no longer recessed underneath the flap as much. I’ve also carried it around for several hours in one day and it was very light and comfortable. So, it’s a great little bag that is also water resistant! I roamed around in the Seattle rain with it, and it did excellent. Don’t be put off right away by the zipper, it just needs a chance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great EDC backpack if you're looking for something smaller
*by S***D on August 25, 2024*

I need to carry around quite a bit of electronics and tools with me, but not enough to lug around a full backpack or tool chest out and about. I've been on the lookout for a small EDC backpack with enough space for some small tools (Leatherman, flashlight, etc) and some cables and battery pack. That kinda stuff. I had previously purchased a 20L bag and discovered it was too big and cumbersome. This 13L bag has exactly enough space and organization for me to bring all my useful stuff with me without getting in the way. The materials seem very nice and it feels like a quality bag. Zippers feel high quality as well. Overall you're not gonna be using this kinda bag for a weekend trip and you're not gonna be able to stuff a jacket or sweatshirt in here. If you need a smaller backpack to keep a bunch of little stuff organized as an EDC bag or whatever then this is probably gonna do the job for you. Do NOT get this bag expecting to stuff a ton of stuff in it. It's NOT meant for that. It's a SMALL backpack, but that's exactly what I was looking for.
