X-Travel Nomad Backpack

Purchased this to be able to use as a work bag, but also with my kids on the weekends. I have only had it for a week, but i love it. I like that is is small in profile, but can actually fit a lot. I can fit my 15 inch laptop, a DSLR, diapers, a changing pad, a water bottle and some other small toys and snacks (not the amount that I would typically carry, but that is the most I would ever want carry and was surprised all of that would fit despite the sleekness of the bag. ) I am a little disappointed in the side pockets as the zippers are very difficult to use. They turn at two 90 degree angles and are just not smooth to go around the corners. i would love to keep my cell phone in there, but it's not that easy to open (though makes me feel safe once it's closed I guess!

I can fit my laptop, lunch, umbrella, many odds and ends AND a pair of shoes. Its great! The only bad part is the side pockets. The zipper gets stuck on the turns and it takes more effort than it should to open/close. I’ve stopped using those pockets altogether because the zippers are so frustrating.

Had no issues with this backpack. I loved it! I used it for 2 trips out to Japan. Great "mens" bag for a 5 ft, 120 lbs woman. It was not too big but lots of different pockets and it could fit a lot of stuffs that I needed to be out and out all day. I love how it's waterproof since it snowed and rain for a few days but kept everything in it dry. The light padding made it comfortable carrying about 11 lbs of things for 10 days on both trips (yes I weighed it since I was curious).

I have been using Bric's luggage for more than two decades and finally decided to add a backpack to my collection. Although it looks small, looks can be deceiving. This backpack holds a lot and is extremely comfortable even when full. It is also very elegant looking. My only complaint has been mentioned by other reviewers. The side pockets are useless. The zippers are impossibly hard to open and close and the pockets are small so I just never use them. I would have preferred a mesh pocket for a water bottle or an umbrella. Other than that, I love this backpack. It is my carry on when flying and I also use it for grocery shopping in Madrid since there is no driving to the grocery store in the city center.

I needed a backpack for an upcoming vacation and this is perfect. I love the pockets on the side and within the backpack. It’s not bulky and looks cute. (Female buying “men’s” backpack) My initial goal was a purse-like backpack but this one won be over with comfort and function, and I like the style. Simple and sleek. VERY comfortable and sturdy on.
