Embark Backpack

I use this bag daily with work supplies and it has held up great for 7 months so far. Get compliments on it looking nice and it never shows dirt cause it's black. I feel like my laptop is solid in this with the thicker cushion in the back pocket area. Has some weight but not alot compared to cheat made bags. Straps do not pull on shoulders or dig in.

I bought this backpack for work. Prior to using this to carry my laptop and files, I was using a bag from Duluth--super heavy leather that weighed as much as a small child empty. So that had to go. I read work backpack reviews, believe it or not. And this one was highly recommended because the zippers are strong, there are multiple compartments, and the straps are well-padded. I agree with all of those assessments and would add that there is a strong carrying strap on the top. I detract one star because, like many back packs, this one tips forward. All. The. Time. You can't set it down and expect it to stay upright. Again, kind of like a small child. But I've adjusted my expectations and am really pleased with the four zipper compartments and the ease with which I can now organize and carry everything I need for work. I would also concur with other reviewers that the mesh waterbottle pockets should likely not be used for anything heavy. They won't last long. I have just ignored them; I pack a lunch bag separately and the water goes in there. So yes, this is a great work back pack and the price is hard to beat.

This is seriously the best backpack I have ever had and I have had a few of these. This is my first review (I think) and I am buying my 3rd one of these right now, after the last being bought in 2017. The only reason I am buying a new one is because of the side water bottle holders, which is the only thing I can complain about, but I won't because 7 years is a long time. The mesh, after years of abuse from me, has given way and holes have formed making my water bottles fall out. The rest of the backpack? I'd still have the first one. This thing won't quit! I used to be a HEAVY traveller, travelling for work and being on planes probably averaging 3 times a month-ish, living out of this backpack and my rollaboard. No issues with zippers or anything. I am HAPPILY buying my third because I am heading to Thailand shortly and want to be able to carry water bottles around with me. If it wasn't for the mesh, the first one of these $30 backpacks that I probably bought originally in 2012-2013ish would still be in use. I have serious weight in my backpack on a regular basis as well. To be honest, I thought about getting a newer backpack with all of the charging ports and all that nonsense, but the reality is that those backpacks realistically have a $10 charger in it that I could just buy separately and accomplish the same thing. What I DO know about buying this one again is that I'll have a backpack for the next 5 years that I will 100 abuse the crap out of and it will handle it with ease. I could have even probably stretched out those years with my past backpacks by not putting enormous water bottles in them. They side holders are meant for your standard water bottles and I was always putting the much bigger ones in there. Again, I have no complaints about this backpack and actually love it, which is kind of weird to say about a backpack. I will miss my current one lol. It has been around the world with me multiple times. With all of its pockets, pouches and hidden little compartments (kind of), this thing is amazing!

Fits well under your seat and can Access items within with ease.

I like this bag pack too much, it has good space and all necessary to organize computer keyboards, mobile, personal belongs and all that has to be easy and fast on your hands.

Took it to Europe trip. Perfect size for carry on. Spacious and tough.
