Reviews

The backpack is designed well

"The backpack is designed well with easy-to-use pockets. It's compact, and the material is of high quality."

Jim O. (5/5)

Excellent slim backpack

"Loved the bag so far. It’s a great size if you want a backpack which is not bulky and is versatile."

Farooq M. (5/5)

Best bag I have owned

"I have plenty of backpacks but they are not as good as this one. Wanted something slim and light and that is exactly what I got. Even though it is slim it still has plenty of room."

Javier R. (5/5)

Great Backpack

"This backpack is great for holding 2 laptops, iPad, headphones & water bottle. It slides on to the handle of a carry-on easily. The material is durable and easy to clean if needed."

Linda E. (5/5)

Great Rucksack

"I had been struggling to find the right bag or case for my daily business routine and failing miserably. I decided to try this Briggs and Riley rucksack and loved it immediately. Really well made and I can fit everything I need into it without it feeling bulky or looking 'stuffed'. Plus it looks really smart!"

Julian S. (5/5)

Very professional looking.

"I use it for mainly for work. Then maybe for short flight trips. the front pocket holds my small stanley neatley. I would not dare put important items in the RFID protected pocket, I feel it is too accessible to third parties."

Noli V. (5/5)

Exactly right.

"Compact, attractive, well-made. It'll take a few trips to figure out how to optimize the many options with this bag. Really do expect this backpack to last a lifetime."

Fredric H. (5/5)
