eBags Pro Slim Laptop vs The North Face Jester Daypack

So I would love to hear your thoughts on this bag. This is the E bag slim book, slim backpack, slim laptop again description will have all the links I...

I don't think it will be full, so maybe it could squish down into an overhead bin or under the seat? I definitely would like to have a carry on because unfortunately, I will have several connections and don't want to risk losing it. My only other backpack is a North Face Jester which I use for every day commuting to work. I think I would be able to fit everything if I packed wisely.

Uh, it's also got this removable padding on the bottom. Uh, which is nice for keeping your laptop from just slamming on the ground. Uh, if you put you...

Looks good but holds only laptop and a few other things. Not big enough for books and school binders. disappointed.

These are actually car pockets, but i found that just a nice space to put those in these are all zippered as well, and then this is quite a big compar...

As some of the other reviews mention, the backpack will not sit up because the stiff back is so tall. It leans forward and then falls over. There is only one "big" compartment and one very small half-compartment on the front, so it's not possible to stay organized with all of the little things that kids need to carry to school these days. Regarding the "big" compartment, it's not truly big

Overall it's a really solid backpack and really like it's super durable. Like I said I'm traveling to different three months now and I really like it....

They reduced some of the quality of the materials, but I think this is still a great option. We'll talk about the materials as we route run through th...

As simple as that may seem that missing feature has me considering returning the bag. For my office setting, I need a briefcase (optics/professionalism)(I know, yay, corporate America), so that shoulder strap would be awesome, also carrying the briefcase by the handle, takes away the usage of whatever hand I am using to carry the bag. After hours or on the weekends, the backpack straps are not a problem. You're probably thinking first world problems and why not opt for the eBags Professional Weekender (https://www

Frankly, I was a bit concerned about the comfort of the Mainpack especially with the Daypack attached (after all, it makes an already large bag gigantic). However, I’m happy to report that the design of the shoulder straps (which also feature load lifters), coupled with an excellent back panel, sternum strap, and a beefy waist belt make for a surprisingly comfortable carry, even over an extended period of time.

so I’m Well organized and know where everything is. The Pockets opens in an L fashion. that takes some getting used to at first, but they are pretty q...

I don't believe they're Ykk I think they may be Sbs zippers and they're very smooth. It's easy to open the bag up, but they're almost too smooth, if t...

Cons: It was much heavier than my old backpack, and the amount of padding seems excessive for the size of the bag. It also did not fit fully under the seat for any of my international flights on the trip, so I ended up resting my feet on top of it. I'm short, so this wasn't too bad, but would likely be an issue for taller travelers. I didn't really want to use it on the flight home and was just going to take my purse, but it was so bulky (even empty!) it didn't fit in my suitcase

Nice looking backpack just not practical for a college student. It's not big enough to pack books in addition to laptop & any other items you may need for the day. The biggest issue was this is not in any way water resistant. College students are walking on campus rain or shine didn't realize there would be no protection at all & arrive to class with paper homework wet & an English book's pages all damp too
