I travel on business about 75%, that means lugging a laptop case around with me through airports. Sometimes I'm tethered to my laptop case for a very long time at the airport. I always used a messenger bag thrown over my shoulder. It looked more professional than backpacks. My chronic back pain became so severe that I couldn't carry a bag on my shoulder anymore. Reluctantly, I decided it was time to breakdown and get a backpack. Because I give presentations, I wanted something that didnt look like I was on my way to class, I wanted something professional.This piel verticle backpack fit the bill very well. Not only do I not look unprofessional at a client site, I've actually received compliments on the backpack. Once I put the backpack on though, I no longer cared about appearance. This thing is so much more comfortable, I dont know why I waited so long to buy it. It has made a huge improvement the amount of pain and strain I suffer while traveling.
I'm also impressed with the organization of the bag. It has plenty of pockets. Theres a small pocket on the strap, a pocket on each side, a large one on both the front and back as well as pockets in the bag. There is plenty of room for a laptop, cable, folders and even a few books
The leather is soft and elegant looking. It does not look cheap at all (which was one of my concerns). I only have a few small (very small) gripes. One is that the buckles on the front do not open and close as smoothly as I woudld like. Maybe it needs more time to get worn in. Also straps on the front buckles are a little too long. They tend to curl up. There are both very minor issues. I have no regrets buying this bag.
