Overview
A padded laptop compartment, a front pocket and roomy interior sections make up this black nylon briefcase, a toploader built on a triple gusset. A bale handle and a shoulder strap carry it.
Many pockets separate a laptop, papers and small items, and the ballistic weave nylon is described as durable and water-resistant. The open top has no closure, and the listing gives conflicting laptop-size wording.
Who it's for
A business traveler or office worker carrying a laptop and files will use the padded section and the gusset pockets. Those who need a closed, locking top or a leather look should consider other styles.
Pros and cons
- Padded laptop compartment
- Light for a briefcase
- Shoulder strap included
- No closure on top
- Laptop size wording conflicts
- Only one main compartment listed
Performance notes
The triple gusset lets the case open wide and take items from the top, and the padded section cushions a laptop against bumps. Ballistic nylon resists abrasion and moisture, though an open top offers no cover from rain.
