Introducing the Berkeley II Backpack
The Berkeley II Tablet + Laptop Backpack is one such bag. I personally think it makes a great GO BAG. Its one of those get-up and go bags that you can count on to carry everything you need from attending lectures in uni or for that 6:30pm BodyPump class or even when you just need to getaway for the weekend.
Standard Features
Like most backpacks, the Berkeley II comes equipped with standard features such as a laptop and tablet compartment, an accessories compartment and side pockets for water bottles or umbrellas which makes the bag great for commuting about.
Why It's a Standout GO-BAG: A Review
So, what makes this backpack a great GO-BAG? Here’s my review.
Material & Design
Made from high quality and durable polyester. The backpack comes with over-sized zippers that provide smooth access.
Travel-Friendly Features
If you are taking a flight somewhere, this bag makes a great cabin bag because the zippers are wide enough to attach luggage locks for extra security and its spacious enough to carry on a change of clothes, jacket, reading material, toiletries and your electronics. There’s also an additional handle at the base of the bag so that you can easily tug on it when you need to reach your bag from the overhead compartment.
Organized & Secure Compartments
Asymmetrical electronics organization panel neatly stores various sizes of electronics and school or office accessories with generous pen pouch to accommodate pens, highlighters and pencils. There’s also a designated zipper compartment for extra security.
Laptop & Tablet Safety
Dedicated padded compartment for your 15.6” laptop and dedicated sleeve for your tablet. Notice how the shoulder straps overlap the laptop compartment? This design is an added security feature to prevent theft while you carry. Even when you’re not carrying, the shoulder straps become a hindrance to opportunist thieves. The articulating shoulder straps are also designed to easily fit different body sizes.
Comfort on the Go
When commuting about or sight seeing, its important to make sure that your backpack offers you carry comfort and support. Removable, adjustable sternum strap offers extra support when lugging about heavy items. The closer the backpack remains at your back, the better your posture and comfort.
Hidden Features for Safety
That’s not all. If you look carefully, there is even a cash-stash pocket on the back panel that cleverly provides hidden storage for money and ID.
The Suitcase Style Opening
But what really stands out about this backpack is its suitcase style opening on the main compartment and how spacious this backpack is. Here’s me packing for the gym.
Ease of Packing
Suitcase style opening on main compartment allows high visibility for packing and easy access to items. Everything fits in the bag perfectly with room to spare for another change of clothes if needed.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it. I would definitely give this bag a GO-BAG rating because of its spacious, suitcase style opening feature. Trust me, you will love this feature. Once you use this bag, you are gonna wish that all your backpacks have this feature too. It’s just so convenient.
