Beautiful black and dark brown backpack. Small size is just perfect if you don't need a lot of space. Inside the orange is perfect to contrast with the black and you can find things quickly. I love it!

Have been using this pack 3 years while on international assignment, and it has held up and performed extremely well. Fits two laptops in laptop compartment, though my new PC at 36cm long doesn't quite fit and I need to stretch the zipper over the corner(which hasn't broken). I have commuted with the pack by bicycle, walking, and subway and it has been comfortable and water resistant.
The main compartment works for a fresh shirt, an umbrella, a few groceries, or whatever. There are a couple zipper compartments for valuables and a phone holder. As well as pockets for documents.
The external zipper handle things are well-sized, sturdy and easy to grab with nice metal tactile feel.
One point is that this is not a pack for high activity - there is no strap to connect in front, and it is not particularly breathable against sweating.
One of my favorite posessions!

I'll cut to the chase, buy this backpack! Ok, why? I have cycled through the usual variety of backpacks, messenger bags and satchels to carry my laptop and assorted gear while traveling and I always found myself looking for something else. This tells me that what I had, what I adapted, simply wasn't right. Initially, I was looking at Tumi as an option but then I saw this pack, when I held them up side by side I began to wonder if those 4 letters (t-u-m-i) were really worth the premium price; in my opinion, compared to this pack, the answer is no. The Kombi has a premium feel to it, the woven exterior not only feels premium but also is fantastic for combating wear and the inevitable scuffs that a travel bag will endure when stuffed under the seat. The shoulder straps are well padded and comfortable and the compartments make total sense. I am able to readily carry two laptops, an iPad and the other assorted gear that I travel with securely and comfortably. I like the orange interior since it makes it easy to see everything inside the pack, no hunting for the errant black USB cable in an all black interior anymore. Further, the bag stands up on its own, even when fully loaded so that makes it easy to retrieve whatever you need and the main compartment opens up in such a way that everything remains upright. This is a backpack for someone who is looking for something that is professional, understated and still stylish. I have plenty of technical backpacks however when I travel, whether an overnight or a weeks long trip, this is the backpack I trust. My only gripe is that I wish I had known about it before. If you're looking for a travel backpack, your search is over, this is your bag!

Perfect for travel

I was very interested in a Tumi backpack but I just couldn't justify $600+ for a backpack. This backpack is almost as good as the Tumi I was looking at but at 1/6th the price. Looks good in person and feels pretty durable. The brown leather is a nice accent that makes it look and feel more high end. My complaints about it are minor. My biggest beef is the fact that it doesn't have strap keepers, but they KNEW it was an important feature because they basically have strap keepers but they're made of paper (see my 2nd pic). At this price point it's pretty ridiculous that I have to now buy some elastic strap keepers when most cheaper backpacks have them. Also the zipper handles don't have a hold large enough for a TSA lock. Since I'm traveling with it, I opted to drill out the holes to make them larger on the front pocked zipper. Luckily they're real metal so it wasn't hard to drill. The shoulder straps feel fine but could be a little more padded. Overall I think it's worth it and am happy with the purchase.
