"I was tired of all the more traditional backpacks on the market. They are hard to use and I looked like a second grader walking through airports. This backpack is distinctive and sets one apart from the crowd. The service was great and I couldn't be happier."

Great just needs Two Updated,

"The only thing that I would update is: adding padding in the Lap-top Section & the pocket designed for the Cell phone will not allow you to put an iPhone 5 with an otter box case in it, to narrow of a pocket."

Great backpack!,
February 7, 2013
By: Coolmom
from Houston, Tx.
"The backpack is great - very nice looking, sturdy with lots of pockets. My only complaint is that the personalization is very small and that's a bit disappointing- it seems that the lettering would look better in a bigger font.."

Better than I expected,
February 7, 2013
By: Talleyrand
from Bellefonte, Pennsylvania
"I usually pack 2 cameras and a laptop in a roller bag when I fly. However, for my next flight I needed to reduce my overhead space demands for a trip to Cuba. The backpack took everything and then some. What really pleases me is that it will stand flat on the floor, making it easy for me to get out the laptop, the cameras and accessories."

What a great gift!,

"My twin brother gave me the Businessman's Backpack after I had Hip Replacement surgery. What a great gift! I can carry my lunch, my computer and attachments, files, newspaper, phone... and it's all safe and well balanced.
I have gotten so many compliments for the looks of the bag and for how utilitarian it is."

A Smart Backpack,
January 29, 2013
By: BearPath
from Anchorage, AK
"I like the overall fit and finish of the backpack. The plaid interior is a handsome touch as well. I wish the top handle was bigger to fit over the handle on my Orvis Suitor Bag. I wish the zippers were more rugged as I have had problems with these on the Pilot Roller Board before. All and all, a nice addition to the Battenkill luggage line."

Perfect,
January 2, 2013
By: Hawgslayer
from Norton Shores, MI
"I had been looking for an effective piece of luggage, I.e briefcase for work, but really never liked briefcases. They don't fit my style or need. So for the last three years I had been using a simple Under Armor back pack. Wasn't professional looking, but highly effective, I ran across the Orvis backpack and instantly knew I wanted this backpack. When Christmas game I was pleasantly surprised. It was a slightly bigger than I envisioned, which simply made it even more usable for other applications. The stitching is excellent! The quality is High. The packets are well placed and it fits perfectly on my shoulder. This is a great combination for the professional and outdoorsman!"

Will be the envy of my work colleagues,
December 29, 2012
By: AbbysBF
from Hudson, WI
"I started carrying a backpack to work years ago. The standard black backpack was functional, but not very attractive. When I received the Orvis backpack, I immediately moved all of my items from the old back pack to the new one. Everything fit beautifully. I love the tartan plaid interior. It feels comfortable over one shoulder. Orvis should call this the Business person's backpack instead. I'm a female, and I love it!"

"I saw one of these at the Atlanta airport recently and just knew that I had to have one. I told my wife about it and low and behold Christmas morning it was under the tree. I travel a lot and this backpack really suits my travel needs. Lots of space and easy to place in the overhead compartment on even the CRJ airplanes. Thanks Orvis!"

The ideal backpack for an aging semi road warrior,
December 29, 2012
By: dArtangan
from Boston
"My colleagues have been bugging me for years to switch from my overstuffed, one shoulder strap, leather computer bag.
It would tear into my shoulder and crook my neck when making transfers in London, Frankfurt or O'Hare.
Now I have a lighter weight, nylon backpack style container for my MacBook, IPad and iPhone with easy passport access.
Wunderbar! -the Apple of backpacks"

Great bag for work,
December 8, 2012
By: DrBobC
from Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON
"This really is a great bag, very comfortable to carry and it "rides" well on rollaboards (unlike most backpack style bags). There are a few things I would change: make the bottom 2" of the bag from leather for extra durability; add some decent "pockeys" of rpeans, etc. Other than that, though I am very happy with the bag and my colleagues have all commented on how nice it is."
