ALPAKA Metro Backpack,12L Small commuter Backpack - Fits Most 14" Laptops - Soft-touch fleece-lined device sleeve (Army Green)

Honestly my initial reaction to the backpack was not a good one, but I was a day away from leaving on a two week vacation so I decided to give it a chance and I’ve been pleasantly surprised! This is a day bag, so it’s not very big but it’s big enough, that should be taken into account when purchasing. Interestingly the zipper was very difficult to open and close when it was completely empty, BUT after I packed it out and started using it more, it was not longer an issue! Packing it really helps the zipper to open more easily since it’s no longer recessed underneath the flap as much. I’ve also carried it around for several hours in one day and it was very light and comfortable. So, it’s a great little bag that is also water resistant! I roamed around in the Seattle rain with it, and it did excellent. Don’t be put off right away by the zipper, it just needs a chance.

I use this as an office bag and it is perfect. Fits my large water bottle with room for lunch. The front zipper pocket is awesome and the key leash is great for my work keys. Very well built and the material is very strong and nice.

This bag fits my Samsung Book5 Pro 14" and Galaxy Tab 10+ perfectly. Also have plenty of room for the mouse and charger. I will say, the Book5 Pro 14" is about the max for this size bag though. As small as possible with high quality construction was the goal and this bag does the trick. For a few years I have been using an E-bags Slim Pro backpack but since I downsized to a 14" laptop, I wanted a smaller bag as well. I like the minimalist styling to avoid extra attention and it is well built. Downsizing to this bag just makes life on planes and public areas easier. The laptop will not hit the floor if I drop the bag since it is raised from the bottom of the bag so it keeps tech safe. The straps are comfortable enough, with the weight I have in the bag it could have a little extra cushion but by no means a deal breaker. With just the laptop and no tablet, zero comfort issues. With both items, comfortable but eh, could use a little more padding for one shoulder use. The zipper in the main compartment can get stuck on the rain guard flap at times but you eventually get the hang of it and now it rarely happens to me. Ultimately, rather have the rain protection than not. If you are in a high theft area, I would be cautious what you put in the small zipper compartment since pulling downward opens it. Granted, the way the storage is set up in there, nothing should fall out. You can always remove the little pull tab as well if it is a concern. If I could change anything, just a pinch more padding on the straps and I would say adding more colors would help make this product even better than it already is.

I was looking for a small backpack to carry essentials for work or travel, and this fits the bill. It has sufficient organization, my 13" Macbook fits fine, and keeps its form well without sagging like larger packs. It looks nice for professional work, as a casual daypack, or travel as it is sleek and minimalist, and should fit nicely under an airline seat while still allowing space for my feet.. While I've only had it a short time, the quality of material and zippers seems good and I'm overall satisfied with the purchase. There are two things I would improve, or at least make other buyers aware. 1.) While the flap over the main zipper has a purpose to keep some rain out and possibly for aesthetics, it is a bit large and can be slightly cumbersome trying to zip/unzip 2.) Adding a slim water bottle pouch on the side (like on the Alpaka Elements) would have increased functionality and opened up space in the interior, at least as an option.

Solidly built. Room for what you need, with maybe a little extra. Decent organization. Rides well. Overall nice pack.

I own many backpacks -- for travel or EDC -- and the Alpaka Metro Backpack is my favorite for EDC. I love the high quality materials and construction. I especially love the clean compact form factor. My 13-inch Lenovo Thinkpad fits snugly inside the laptop compartment. This compact backpack has enough room for my EDC and more. As another reviewer had noted, it is tricky to unzip the main compartment because of the "rain cover" design. Because of this design, taking out my Thinkpad is definitely a 2-hand process.

I need to carry around quite a bit of electronics and tools with me, but not enough to lug around a full backpack or tool chest out and about. I've been on the lookout for a small EDC backpack with enough space for some small tools (Leatherman, flashlight, etc) and some cables and battery pack. That kinda stuff. I had previously purchased a 20L bag and discovered it was too big and cumbersome. This 13L bag has exactly enough space and organization for me to bring all my useful stuff with me without getting in the way. The materials seem very nice and it feels like a quality bag. Zippers feel high quality as well. Overall you're not gonna be using this kinda bag for a weekend trip and you're not gonna be able to stuff a jacket or sweatshirt in here. If you need a smaller backpack to keep a bunch of little stuff organized as an EDC bag or whatever then this is probably gonna do the job for you. Do NOT get this bag expecting to stuff a ton of stuff in it. It's NOT meant for that. It's a SMALL backpack, but that's exactly what I was looking for.

It has the perfect size for an EDC backpack. All the zippers and the quality of materials that the company had put into this makes it worth the price paid for. I love the simplicity of the aesthetics and the ample organization inside!

パソコン+αと500サイズのペットボトルがちょうど収まるサイズ。 メイン収納にはボトルが収まるスペースがあり、中で散らからないのが良い。 「パソコン以外持ち歩かねーよ」という潔い方が飲み物買ったり荷物増えたりのイレギュラーに対応できるちょうどいいカバンだと思います。

It's really compact and can be also seen as small, but it's very functional. With good planning you can make use of the whole space and it actually fits more than you would expect. The materials are of very high quality, the back cover is really comfortable! The green color is actually amazing live. I recommend it for optimising what you carry for your daily commute, great brand!

Excelente mochila. No sabía que necesitaba una mochila pequeña hasta ahora. La organización de la mochila es grandiosa. Me encantó la bolsa lateral, ya que ahí pongo mi pasaporte y puedo acceder a el fácilmente sin tener que quitármela. En ninguna otra mochila había utilizado el cordón para las llaves, pero en esta mochila es una pieza magnética que lo vuelve muy práctico de usar. Tengo un iPad de 11 pulgadas con magic keyboard y cabe sin problemas. Asumo que una laptop de 13 pulgadas también cabe. Lo que para mí se lleva las palmas es la calidad de los materiales. La tela se siente gruesa, de alta calidad. Utilice la mochila bajo lluvia moderada y no le entró nada de agua. El cierre frontal parece ser resistente al agua, por lo que no creo que tenga problemas con salpicaduras de agua. El cierre principal no parece ser resistente al agua, pero está cubierto con tela. Diría que la mochila puede tener dos puntos debiles. El primero es el cierre principal. Si la mochila tiene pocos objetos dentro, es un poco molesto cerrar el compartimiento principal. Esto es porque la cubierta de tela del cierre superior Llega a interponerse. El segundo punto débil es que no tiene banda para poner en la manija de una maleta de ruedas. Finalmente, creo que tuve mala suerte ya que mi mochila tiene una muy ligera decoloración en la tela. Son de esas cosas que se que la mayoría de la gente no notaría, pero yo sé que está ahí y no puedo no notarlo. Dado que la mochila se siente de excelente calidad, le doy el beneficio de la duda a la marca y pienso que solo tuve mala suerte.

Cercavo uno Zaino con una capienza adeguata a spostamenti in città e per lavoro; ottimo nel design, pulito (senza tasche esterne) nella sua forma. Alpaka marca da seguire come Tomtoc

I love it
