Bellroy Transit Backpack vs JanSport Big Student

I'M 510 [, Music, ]! Well, everyone there! You have it the transit backpack, a Travel focus bag from bellroy made of some really robust materials and ...

You carry your gym, clothes, jackets books, anything else and the medium compartment here slightly smaller than the first one right for notebooks for ...

Now the bellroy tech kit, the regular size version fits in here as well, but it's a little bit more of a squeeze. So let me put that in there for you ...

especially the sturdy handle and comfortable back support, but it’s too small. Any recommendations for something that combines the 2 backpacks? I work in the tech industry and am also a graduate student, so I carry a mix of technology and books with me on a daily basis.

The sternum strap helps to take some of the weight off your shoulders, but we'd ideally like to see a setup more like that found on the 38 liter bat. ...

The padded straps were very cushiony upon purchase but with time and heavy textbooks, they did eventually rip. If you know how to sew, it can be fixed though.

I like the split depth with very limited forced organization and have had a different experience to others here wherein I am able to fit my 16" laptop just fine (although, with only a case and not a protective sleeve but the padding of the laptop compartment is great in my opinion) and the material has yet to show a mark even after several trips including two with it under the airplane seat in front of me. I can see the arguments against the straps and back panel, but honestly, anything was an upgrade from my last bag (40L Ebags Motherload Junior) so I like them. All that said, I think the Bellroy Transit will probably fit your business-first EDC needs better than the Allpa. As mentioned by others, the Allpa does droop when half empty and I suspect you will enjoy the more forced organization of the Bellroy for an EDC not to mention the potentially better back panel and straps

The only downside is that it doesn't have a cushion thingy for laptops. I can survive without it though.

Bellroy transit has been the comfiest I have used. I have used the farpoint 40, Cotopaxi allpa 28, fjallraven travel pack, fjallraven high coast, a shittt Cabin Max and several Quechuas.

And then we've got these straight cut padded backpack straps here with a bit of a journal logo on there as well on the top. We've just got this grab h...

Purchased bag, a few weeks ago. One of the zippers came off while traveling. As you can see by the picture their zipper construction leaves a gap and isn't fully depressed. Requested a replacement zipper, said they "shipped it without tracking", never received it

We bought this after the zipper on our 5th grade son's zipper broke on his Spiderman backpack. We talked him into getting on he could use over the next few years. We decided on this one and he loves it. He is excited because his lunchbox fits in it easily with his folders and books
