Top Five Features Of A Business Backpack

When I say “business person,” what comes to mind? Probably someone carrying a briefcase.

You think of a briefcase because most business people carry a briefcase (a Travelpro Rollaboard Computer Brief, hopefully).

But a growing number of professionals are discovering the advantages of business backpacks. And not just young people, but savvy business travelers of all ages. They’re easier to carry, you can wear them to leave your hands free, and if you wear both straps, the weight is distributed evenly.

So, what five features do business people look for in a backpack?

• Generous Capacity: Travelpro business backpacks provide more storage space than comparable briefcases. Therefore, you can carry additional meeting materials or a change of clothes should your trip be extended.
• Convenient Laptop Storage: Travelpro business backpacks come with a padded compartment that accommodates up to a 17″ laptop, while protecting it and enabling you to retrieve it quickly. Our Crew 8 model is “checkpoint friendly,” because its laptop compartment opens like a door so the backpack can pass through security with the computer still inside.

  Imagine breezing through a checkpoint by simply opening the compartment, laying the backpack flat on the conveyer, closing the compartment once it’s passed through the X-ray machine, and proceeding to your gate. Talk about convenience!

• Accessible Business Organizer: Travelpro backpacks feature a convenient business organizer and file storage, a ticket pocket that provides quick access to a wallet, passport, keys, and airline tickets, as well as a clever iPod port. Most  of our bags also have a side-zippered water bottle pocket to keep you not only organized, but hydrated.
• Lightweight, Durable Construction: The Travelpro Crew 8 Business Backpack measures 8.5” W by 13” L by 17.5” H (well within airline size restrictions), and weighs only 3.3 pounds. It’s made of 1050D Micro Ballistic nylon fabric and has a padded back that absorbs moisture, provides cushion, and can take serious wear and tear.
• Ergonomic Construction – Travelpro backpacks offer wide, neoprene shoulder straps that comfortably distribute the weight between your shoulders. All models feature high-tensile-strength zipper pulls that ensure effortless opening and closing. Plus, the Crew 8 comes with our patent-pending Quick Loop that attaches the backpack to your rollaboard luggage.

Not all backpackers are nature lovers headed to the great outdoors. Many are business people headed to great success.
