@Work Slim Backpack

Bought this backpack after a lot of back and forth about the high price. This is the best backpack I've ever owned and have worked from home with it, travelled with it, and am able to say that it is a very thoughtfully designed backpack. I used to own a TUMI backpack prior to this and despite its bigger size, it would feel bulky and super heavy with my items. With the slim backpack, I am actually able to fit MORE in it and not only is it more organized and easier to find items, but it does not get bulky from the items. Love this backpack. Don't think twice!

Had the @work medium expandable briefcase for years which is still in perfect shape, but needed to switch to a backpack due to back issues as I got older. The slim backpack is perfect. Feels nice and compact, sleeves easily fit a 14" Dell laptop and 11" iPad pro, and front compartment is well organized. The hidden pockets on the front and back are especially good for travel days, too.

I've been using Briggs and Riley products for over 20 years. Including luggage, computer bags and other computer backpacks. I bought this back in October as I needed a new bag. It's a great clean, no nonsense design. Good layout for internal pockets. Including the sunglass pocket. For its slim design, it holds quite a bit. I recently, just a couple of weeks ago, took the backpack to Europe with me and it worked like a charm. Though, I would have faired just a bit better with one of the other Briggs & Riley backpacks. The only reason I gave 4 not 5 stars is that first it's a little more tricky to stack this backpack with older Briggs & Riley luggage and hence a little harder to remove. Second, this is some, I hope Briggs and Riley does correct on further backpacks. Only the main storage compartment has zippers designed to accommodate a travel lock. Same design in older backpacks as well. I'd like that see zippers like that for the other large compartment with the same two zipper design. Aside from that again, Great Design, Function, Durability and Light Weight.

As someone who commutes to work daily and travels internationally twice a month, I wanted a compact, high-quality backpack that looks stylish and can endure heavy use. After two months with the Briggs & Riley Slim Backpack, I can confidently say it meets those demands with flying colors. It has become an indispensable part of my travel essentials and I feel confident it will continue to perform reliably on trip after trip. In a world of countless bags and backpacks, this one truly stands out as a durable, well-engineered companion for today’s business traveler who requires safe laptop and tablet compartments, and organized space for q noise-canceling headset, chargers, pens, a small notebook, passport, light jack and snack. I’m extremely pleased with my purchase and I would choose it again without hesitation. Safe to say, my search for the perfect compact travel backpack is over – this is the one I’ll be carrying for years to come.
