'STM Banks Backpack For Laptop & Tablet Up To 15'''

I have used this bag for now over a year. It has served me excellently over that time and shows little or no sight of wear. The handle like many have experienced is the only part with any tear. But, the material is used nowhere else on the bag except for decoration. And I have used the bag for everything University, groceries, flying and camera gearEverything is excellent. The laptop and tablet compartments is excellent; well cushioned and suspended. Water pouches are great for thermos and water bottles (slims ones are best). Fabric lined pocket well placed as hidden on inside and can easily get to them. Powerbank pocket can easily fit a anker 20,000 mah power bank. Wonderful back padding is excellent and doesn't damage clothes. Great pocket layoutWhat I can say is this bag has never let me down and set a very high bar for the next bag. The only gripe is lack of water proofing but none of my devices have ever been damaged this is likely due to the double lining. The chest straps are removable but very trickey to put back on. Although, this is not mentioned and it is very hard.The real reason I am looking for another bag is that I travel more and desire waterproofing. Hence why I mention STM have released essentially a upgrade to this bag. The STM myth is what I would suggest purchasing for 18L bag. Has all the same features but with addition of Luggage pass through and waterproofing at the same price point if buy direct from STM. https://www.amazon.co.uk/STM-Backpack-Featuring-Luggage-Pass-Through/dp/B07GSLHPLV/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1542147571&sr=8-2&keywords=stm%2Bmyth&th=1

I have been using my STM pack for about two months.First, let me speak about the design and materials. This pack is exceptional in design and the best computer bag I have ever seen. Its design allows me to carry more with a smaller footprint and has a place for everything. The materials are first-rate as well.After two months my bag shows almost no sign of use. The only exception is the carry handle, a place that one can expect to use frequently. No fault of the design or the materials this handle is beginning to fray. I believe it is a fault in the manufacturing of this specific bag - perhaps the handle was not seated deep enough in the bag when it was stitched into place.I am giving this bag five stars. I hope that the seller will stand behind this exceptional product and send me a replacement. I have no doubt that the one I received was defective and not a reflection of what other will experience.

Been using this backpack for a few days now and so far am loving it. It was replacing a messenger 'day' bag that I used every day for keys, and random stuff I would or may need. Despite not getting a huge size overall increase, there is tons of room in this thing for my Surface Pro, beard supplies and additional work things.
