    S'OKAY

    Bag was given to me by my wife a couple of weeks ago. Was only able to take it our for a spin recently. I like the layout, water bottle slot notwithstanding. I just slot in my Muji pouch there. Might fit a round-ish pencil case too. (Or a CAP 0.5.). Anyway, I like that it's lightweight and roomy, yes.

    2 pain points for me. This could still have made do with a false bottom in the laptop section. You just have to remember to put your tablet or laptop in its own sleeve.

    My biggesr gripe relates to the straps. Man, kinda disappointed, TBH. My daughter's Jansport has better strap padding. Not to mention the Tomtoc T24 that my wife also gave me earlier this year. Every time I grab the straps, they actually feel crinkly rather than foamy or chunky. 🙁

    I only mention these brands and products just to make more direct points of reference.

    Perfect iPad companion

    So far so good. First trip with it will be this Thursday but so far it fits everything needed and then some. If you use an iPad with a keyboard this is what you want I have an 11 inch Air but it would fit a 13 Air or Pro easily with room to spare for tech organization pouches and possibly a water bottle and light jacket. Looking forward to putting this through its paces.

    Great Bag

    Exactly what I was looking for! Sleek, well made, good looking and functional…and the luggage loop is a great added feature. More expensive than it should be, but notwithstanding price it’s a perfect small bag.
