Troubadour Apex Backpack 3.0 - 25L Premium Laptop Backpack - Ergonomic & Water Resistant - Designed for Work and Travel - Black

As a remote worker, I am a huge fan of backpacks that let me travel or commute light. If you understand this, you understand this! This backpack is my new favorite for both. It's thoughtfully designed for a tech vagabond like me who wants to be able to pack up his work setup and carry it all comfortably in a small form-factor pack. The laptop compartment is intelligently tucked into the back of the bag behind the shoulder straps. The material is durable and has a premium feel, while remaining light weight. A multitude of little hidden pockets fit my phone, snacks, airpods, charging cord - without adding bulk. Very comfortable shoulder straps. Definitely taking this pack on my next surf trip. I love it. Highly recommended.

I'm a educator/business professional and have always used backpacks for my daily packing needs - journal, portfolio, laptop, chargers, etc. Although I make a decent living, I'm a pretty frugal person, so a backpack like this is not something I ever would have purchased in the past - $50-100 is the most I ever would have spent (only once did I spend more than $50). I decided, however, to step out of my comfort zone and buy a truly professional, well-made, hopefully-long-lasting backpack this time. I researched and viewed many backpacks, but always came back to the Troubadour Apex 3.0. Something about it caught my eye the first time I saw it/read about it and nothing else quite ever matched up to it as I continued to research - so I went out on a limb and bought it. I haven't had it long as of this review, but I can say unequivocally that I am 100% happy with my purchase. I fits every need I have in a work/professional backpack in regards to what I need to carry on a daily basis - plus it looks beautiful and seems to be made extremely well. I have looked at Troubadour's lineup of bags and wish I could afford to buy a bunch more - but I'm a cheapo, so idk, haha. Praying to continue loving this for years to come!

Muy buenos acabados y costuras. Espero que aguante muy bien el material.

Love this backpack so far, beautiful color. I was in the market for one because I needed room for a 17 inch laptop and it fits great!

I travel in Europe for 2 weeks carrying two heavy laptops, power supplies, adapters and phone charges and it held absolutely great. I was worried the straps would quit on me, but it is like brand new. One of the best bags I have ever own. Great value for this product.

-I love the side profile, the padding when wearing it, and the laptop section.-I hate the other section's zipper, it is such bad quality and so extremely loud that I will never open it at work.-So, I can only use the laptop section and the zipper for that is good, but there should be two zippers on this section.

I bought this backpack for work wanting to downsize from a 35 liter pack that I had been using for over a year. I ordered this pack for the looks/size and have been somewhat pleased in the 5+ months I’ve used it daily.Pros - looks good and I get lots of compliments. It keeps its shape and has some nice features for being small smaller pack. It rides well on my travel suitcase and the storage organization in the main compartment is good.Cons - having a second zipper on the laptop compartment was completely overlooked when this thing was designed. Honestly, this is the only thing keeping it from 5 stars but having the 1 zipper can sometimes lead to an awkwardness of opening it up or closing it when the pack is nearly full. The color also seems to be fading over time and it’s not as “blue” as it was when it was brand new.All in all if you’re looking for a professional looking backpack and willing to spend $200+ this is a good option for a daily commute.

I liked the pioneer backpack so much I bought this one for my wife. It’s smaller than then pioneer and we use it for outings with the kids. All the compartments and two water bottle holders make it great for packing snacks, a change of clothes for them, wet wipes, and everything else we need for when out all day or on a hike. And it’s incredibly sturdy—these backpacks are built incredibly well.
