Sterkmann 30L Expandable Backpack vs Timbuk2 Authority Laptop Backpack

I would say you should get the 30L travel backpack! I used the 30L EDB for my last semester in college but I was lucky because I never had to carry any books or papers with me but now that I have the 45L Travel backpack I probably would've used that more TBH. Don't get me wrong, I love the EDB but if you're going to be carrying some bigger stuff and you want more room or even space for some files the travel backpack is going to be your best bet

Sadly, I bought a timbuk2 authority pack and to say the least, it is not 28 L in any way :(. ​.

Here are my thoughts: Pros: Great pockets. Cool design. Cons: It's surprisingly stiff. The zippers are stiff

Along the front of the bag, we have two easy access pockets, key fob, and along the top here, perfect spot for your sunglasses or your cell phone. On ...

Okay, one snap saves top shoulder strap three which is which is pretty fantastic critically when you are living in Scotland and chocolate Laurel This ...

The cinch straps on the bottom of the Authority are impractical for extra carrying capacity. The straps are on the bottom so anything you put there (like a rolled-up coat, which won't fit in the thin pockets) gets dirty as soon as you set the bag down. If Timbuktu had a satisfaction guarantee; I'd be walking this back up to their store a block away. Since not, I still grab my old bag when I really need function and versatility

This is a sleek-looking expandable backpack with a plethora (read too many) zippers. While it seemed versatile, I returned it because it's weighty empty, the faux leather felt cheap and there was no chest strap. I could envision being pressed for time in an airport and trying to remember where I put my passport or other important item. It's got that many pockets, all black

A lot of the zippers are either straight or only have a 90 degree curve in them and so I really think that they're extremely usable a lot of times wit...

I bought this backpack back in October of 2019. WIth very minimal use just going to and from work, opening it twice in the morning to load/unload and then in the evening to unload it, the main zipper for the front compartment failed on the corner. Now the bag will not fully close on one side. Overall the bag appears well made and very thought out, however the durability of a zipper is a major failure point to use the bag properly ongoing

I have a bad back and prefer backpacks to other options like messenger bags. What I like: the bag is incredibly slim which is great for a crowded train. On the other hand, the bag also expands so it can fit a pair of shoes and gym clothes. The organizer compartment has lots of pockets

The backpack is top notch! There's tons of little compartments, which makes packing easy, it has a shoe bag, laundry bag, and a little packing cube. I had issues finding a backpack that would fit my 15" MacBook Pro and this one has a compartment for it where it will fit perfectly, AND another 13" MacBook Pro. PERFECT for business travel. not only that but the backpack is EXPANDABLE!!! It's also a super comfortable fit
