Stylish yet functional. The quality of the bag is perfect and I believe will easily serve me fore more than 5 years.

First time purchasing from sympl and it was a great purchase. Love the materials used on the bag, loving the durability, and I'm loving the looks of the bag. The ykk zippers are smooth and make it a good user experience. The size of the bag is also great. It feels like 25L and it fits me perfectly for what I use it for. The looks of the bag are great. Looks super sleek and co and I love it. Overall it was a great bag and I love it.

This backpack is beyond perfect! As a working professional who comes into the office or uses their backpack on the weekend for travel, there is no other backpack that has such high quality, functionality, and looks as professional as this bag does. If you have any doubts, you shouldn't! This is a must-have bag!!

I bought this bag to use for two reasons. The first being I needed something that looked professional for international business, that actually held enough stuff that I could pack my computer, sample product, brochures, all charging cords, water bottle, snacks, a hoodie, and other things that you need when working the trade show circuit in different countries. It has delivered 100% for that purpose. It fits beneath the seat in front of you on airplanes, so you can use it as your personal item to carry on and still bring a separate carry on bag as well. The 2nd reason is to use as a daily driver when I am going from home to gym to office. It easily fits my lunch, computer, and gym clothes for this purpose.

It is also very durable construction. They have made the canvas kind of reinforced so it holds its shape. It does not fold down or crinkle like traditional canvas backpacks. This is well beyond the quality of regular back packs. This is nice because your documents or catalogs stay wrinkle free. There are so many various sizes of pockets and the zippers are all very high quality. The material itself is kind of an almost rubberized/coated type of thicker canvas that really holds its shape. They really thought of everything when making this bag. I actually purchased one for me, and when my girlfriend saw it she wanted one as well, so now we have two. She is using hers to finish her internship so she actually carries 2 lap tops inside every day on the way to the office amongst other things. It’s really so roomy! So much space inside.

I am a huge fan of this brand as you can tell, and I hope they end up making new products, like a carry on rolling bag. Perhaps a rolling bag that works with the backpack and has the same look and feel would be a nice new product!

Last comment: I have a flat water bottle from “memo bottle” and it fits inside the water bottle pocket perfectly without having to unzip the optional water bottle storage. I prefer this because it stays more sleek, and also the memo bottle has been a good product to travel with as well.

The Weekender is a great fit for me as I am an architect that travels. I love the amount of storage it carries and how sleek it looks!
