Reviews

Perfect size

"I’m fairly petite at 5’3” and this bag fits me perfectly. It’s also the perfect mix of functional and professional. Practical enough to fit all the necessities when traveling (which I was worried about) and elevated enough to use for work. Great quality too. So happy with this purchase."

— Stephen G. (5/5)

The perfect travel backpack for me

"Last year I purchased the B&R "Traveler Backpack" and used it along with my B&R "Essential 22" Carry-on Spinner" for a 1 week vacation to Grand Cayman. Of course, I packed each piece to the fullest. The Traveler Backpack held so much that it was far too heavy and bulky for me to comfortably carry. Lacking an alternative at the time, I used it anyway. (For reference: I am 5'6", 142 lbs and female) I then purchased the "U-Zip Backpack" to use for my 2026 vacation. This backpack was perfect! At only 10 lbs, when fully packed, it comfortably held all of my essentials, including a light sweater. It is comfortable to wear, beautifully made, not too many pockets and the zippers open & close smoothly for easy access. I will be using this backpack for all of my travel adventures!"

— Margaret D. (5/5)

Great travel bag holding small essential items.

"Easy access with pocket organizers. Great for travel for holding small items. It is not a lot of rooms once large items occupied in main compartment since it is round shape. I do loved the bag. Very well made. I used this bag for holding small essential items. And front pocket and back side pocket were very helpful. Side bottle pocket would recommended using smaller bottle. I have big bottle. It doesn’t work well. Overall. Great purchase."

Fantastic Everyday Backpack

"The U Zip backpack has quickly become one of my favourite daily essentials. The design is sleek and modern without trying too hard, and the overall size is just right — spacious enough to carry everything I need while still feeling compact and easy to wear. My laptop fits comfortably with room to spare, which is a huge plus for commuting and travel. The internal pockets are a thoughtful touch and make organisation effortless. Everything has its place, so I’m never rummaging around trying to find things. A well‑designed, practical, and stylish backpack that genuinely delivers on functionality. Highly recommended."

— Bukkie A. (5/5)

The bag itself is of

"The bag itself is of good quality but the specs are misleading as it indicates it can fit a 13 inch laptop in the laptop slot. I have a laptop that is shy of 13 inches but the slot is meant for the thickness of an iPad Air not a laptop so it’s a struggle to fit my MacBook Pro."

— Janak J. (2/5)

Love it, needs to be 15% bigger

"I love the design and it’s exactly what I wanted. But it’s smaller than I wanted. It’s tight to get my laptop in it, tight to get over my roller bag handle and the front pocket is super small and hard to fill when the backpack is full"

— Melissa L. (3/5)

Backpack review

"I bought this as a Christmas present to replace my wife’s travel backpack. She loves it! It’s the right size to store under an airline seat, yet still big enough to be useful. The design and pockets are well thought out. And as with all of the Briggs & Riley products, the materials and top quality and she loves the color."

— Devin B. (5/5)

Great purchase

"Great purchase! Plenty of room. And I love that it slides right on the handle of my other suitcases."

— Margaret R. (5/5)

I gave his a four

"I gave his a four sat review because I probably should have bought the next size up. Is perfect for travelling. I have he Briggs and Riley rolling on carry on and this nap sack fits perfectly into the handle. I won't be using it as a back pack. I just wanted something that was stable to travel with he carry on without falling over."

— Karen N. (4/5)

Best Backpack on the market! I have two!

"This backpack is the best! I'm so glad you brought it back! I have another one just like it in tan, that I've had for several years and use it all the time. It is great for traveling and fits everything I need to have close by and fits under the seat while flying. Additionally, the straps are padded and very comfortable to wear. I also love the outer compartments: one in front where I keep my phone and other items, and two on each side. I use one for my water bottle and keys in the other. The center is roomy: I can fit a change of clothes if needed and there is also a compartment for my electronics. This backpack is beautiful, classy, well-made, and extremely durable. I highly recommend this backpack! Thank you!"
