BellroyTransit Workpack Second Edition (20 liters, laptops up to 16”, tech accessories, gym gear, shoes, water bottle, daily essentials) - Black

I really like this backpack. The materials feel high quality and the color is really nice. The main reason I chose it, because it was comfortable when carrying compared to other backpacks I tested. What bothers me a bit, is that the straps are so hard. The pack has a lot of space for a 20l backpack but fits easily under the front seat in aeroplanes and I had 2 laptops 15.4" and 14" ind the laptop compartment. The content i took along was super heavy, but the pack handles that well. What i miss are some loops to attach stuff with carabiners. The biggest feature I miss is that it has no loop at the back for handle pass through, which i would have expected for a backpack with the name transit.

I invested in three bags this month for different sorts of tasks this year. I first got a sling which (I know) looks like a glorified fanny pack but it’s really great to carry a few things when I’m cycling somewhere. It is comfortable, small, and easy to throw over your shoulder and go.My second bag is this 20 liter transit bag and this is my go to work bag. I have to be honest, when I first got the bag I did not like how hard it was. It’s off to describe but it’s sort of like a really stiff canvas feel (though it’s made out of some nylon kind of fabric). But, as I used it I can’t say it softened up, but I did come to appreciate the stiffness of the bag. I can easily put my 14 inch computer in the back tech sleeve and it feels protected. There is padding on the back that makes it extremely comfortable when wearing it, and the fact that the bag holds it shape even when empty is something I’ve grown to appreciate. The sturdiness of the fabric is definitely water resistant and it has a tremendous quality with the pockets, mesh and attention to details. I can’t say enough good things about it and plan on using it as my travel bag for flights as well.

I recently purchased the Bellroy Transit Workpack in the RangerGreen color, and I've been using it extensively. Here's my four-star review:Pros:Versatile and Functional Design: The Bellroy Transit Workpack is incredibly versatile. The separate laptop section with an internal pouch for accessories is perfect for keeping my laptop and tech gear organized. It easily accommodates devices up to 16 inches, which is fantastic.Ample Storage Space: I appreciate the full-zip clamshell design, which opens to reveal an internal zip pocket and a stretch shoe compartment. This makes it easy to separate and organize my belongings, from work essentials to gym gear and even shoes.Convenient External Pockets: The external side access pockets are a real convenience. They discreetly store items like my wallet, water bottle, and other essentials, making them easily accessible without having to rummage through the main compartment.Comfortable for All-Day Use: The contoured, breathable back panel and shoulder straps, along with the detachable sternum strap, make carrying this pack comfortable throughout the day. Whether I'm commuting or traveling, the comfort factor is crucial.Durable and Water-Resistant: The use of water-resistant, recycled woven fabric adds to the durability and eco-friendliness of the pack. Knowing that it's backed by a 3-year warranty gives me confidence in its longevity.Cons:Stitching Could Be Neater: While the overall build quality is good, I did notice that the stitching could have been a bit cleaner in some areas. Given the premium price of this backpack, I expected slightly more attention to detail in the craftsmanship.In conclusion, the Bellroy Transit Workpack in RangerGreen has become my go-to pack for daily use. Its versatility, storage capacity, and thoughtful design make it an excellent choice for anyone needing a reliable and stylish backpack. While there is room for improvement in the stitching quality, it doesn't detract significantly from the overall functionality and appeal of this backpack. If you're willing to invest in a high-quality bag for your daily needs, this one is worth considering.

Just received the backpack a week ago. It fits my system 76 Pangolin 16" laptop, Belroy tech case and everything I need for a overnight trip. The design is very stylish without looking like it is a hiking or school backpack. Large top zipper pocket is great for storing grab and go items. I use it for phone, charging cable, sun glasses, and snacks, etc... Side pocket holds my 20 ounce Yeti water bottle and hides away when not in use. Do to the quality an design, I would highly recommend it

Strap pads are not every comfy, even my Herschel 20L has more comfortable straps. The way I loaded my mine, the bottom edge of the straps dug into my lower back. Plus the top of the bag did not hug my shoulders so it felt like they were swining back and forth with the weight.I could strap it up higher and wearing higher on my shoulders but that also felt extremely uncomfortable. Lack of sternum straps on a $200 bag also feels like a missed opportunity here and without that option, I could find a comfortable way to wear this pack.I'm sure this works for a lot of people but for my body and loadout, it was not a good choice.
