Atlas Wheeled

We haven't used it yet for travel, but in examining it thoroughly, it looks extremely well-made, with plenty of room. We had looked for a good wheeled backpack in the past, but finally found a great one!

After her last European trip, my wife complained as to why her Tumi backpack did not have wheels. Naturally I bought her the Everki atlas wheeled based on my experience with Everki bags; and, because my wheeled Tumi is considerably heavier and not as flexible as this one. Not to mention the over $700 price for the leather Tumi…

Brilliant quality and a great bag, it comes everywhere with me. Inside there is a large main compartment with an adjustable laptop pocket that is removable. This bag is so versatile and suitable for any type of journey, as everything that you need can have its own little space so, with a little bit of organisation, you can make your journey seem less stress-free, all with one bag.

Nach 3 Jahren und vier Monaten Gebrauch waren die Rollenlager des Rucksack-Trolleys meiner Frau defekt. Nach kurzem Kontakt mit dem Everki-Kundenservice (eine sehr freundliche und kompetente deutschsprachige Mitarbeiterin) wurde heute nach nur fünf Tagen ein neues Ersatzprodukt geliefert - und das, obwohl zwischen Erstkontakt und Ersatzlieferung ein Wochenende lag. Das ist eine respektable Leistung, die sich so einige andere Hersteller-Firmen zum Vorbild nehmen sollten. Qualität hat ihren Preis - aber dann muss (!) auch der Kundenservice stimmen. Everki ist hier meiner Meinung nach TOP!

This bag is ideal for business travelers who are seeking to carry their laptop and tablet as well as a few clothes for meetings and presentations. The quality of materials is exceptional and the zippers are well secured and smooth. You will without doubt love the easiness of rolling it in every terrain with the minimum noise and effort. The extendable aluminum handle gives a perfect grip for the hand and allows to have the total control in every surface. Many pockets that can satisfy everyone (both with zippers and without). Everki Atlas wheeled is an exceptional business roller bag that can assure that the electronic equipment will be secure and well protected.

This bag travels with me weekly to client meetings-handles airports, trains, and being tossed in car boots exceptionally well. Tons of space- if only going overnight, I will use this and a purse to fly with. Handle retracts well and actually easy to carry up or down stairs with pull handle extended and carrying bag by top grab handle. Wheels easily on hard surfaces and low pile carpet.

My only complaint is that when placed on my roller suitcase the luggage strap is inadequate and allows the bag to start to tip away from the roller’s handle. Putting a two or three inch strap would eliminate this problem.

The weight distribution is OFF on the Atlas wheeled backpack, making it harder and slower to drag compared to the 15 year old roller bag (DragBag from Australia) it is replacing. Three simple design changes will make the Everki Atlas an exceptional roller bag. One, slightly Bigger Wheels. Two, a Longer handle that Curves. Three, a more comfortable handle. Otherwise, it is spacious and well constructed.

Everki, would you consider making these simple changes? I will be happy to be a tester for you.

Has proven to be the ideal bag for my punishing international business travel. It is strong enough to carry my two computers and personal gear everywhere, it is small enough to be the perfect carry-on, it is elegant enough for client encounters, and even tough enough to check when necessary. The ballistic nylon is as thick as any bag I have ever seen, and the lining is bright and generous. The zippers are beefy and smooth. Its big soft wheels roll beautifully through airports and streets, and when I come to cobblestones or gravel it converts quickly to a comfortable backpack with elegant protection for my clothes from its potentially dirty wheels. Lovely design. I have gone through several bags before settling on this one for the last two years of global travel. The only issue I have had is a minor one: when rolling, the bag can pirouette out of control if one gets a little cavalier with speed and turns. Just needs the wheels set a little wider, I think. The price is high, yes, but the lifetime warranty is real. When a defect with the extension handle emerged, Everki replaced my bag.

October 2017 Update: Everki's warranty and customer support are simply fabulous.

A small flaw in my bag, barely noticeable at first, slowly grew into a visible fabric tear in my Everki Atlas. After three years of hard use, I finally sent a picture of the tear to Everki who responded immediately, and who have just replaced the entire bag.

Everki stands behind its products in a way far beyond what we expect. Their lifetime warranty is, indeed, a lifetime warranty. Impressed and delighted I am.

What a well made, handy, superbly designed backpack. I am delighted.

This pack holds my laptop, my tablet, a bunch of chargers and cables, office files about 2 inches thick, pencils and pens, sunglasses (and more), basic personal stuff like keys, wallet, ID card, hair brush. And more.

I have moved from a (wonderful, rolling) briefcase to this because of my travel. I can now run with several day's worth of files and my entire portable office, take it on a plane, put on the car seat next to me, carry it by the handle, put it over a shoulder, carry as a back pack, or set it on the table. It's easy to get stuff out of on a plane or train. I haven't figured out uses for all of the pockets, yet. But there's still time.

I recently purchased the Everki Atlas rolling backpack (EKP122). I have taken nearly 1,000 business trips over the last 25 years, so I have gone through many rolling laptop bags and backpacks.The Atlas rolling backpack is well made with durable and attractive materials. The zippers, wheels, and telescoping handle are all high quality. Functionally, I immediately noticed the massive storage. There is ample room for a large (17") laptop, plus a tablet. Below the laptop compartment, there is room for an Eagle Creek tri-fold garment folder (Medium), which can hold 1-2 days of clothes. On each side there is room for an AC power adapter and cord, a water bottle, or both. On the front, there is plenty of room for writing pads, folders, paper, pens, markers, and a useful clip for keys. There is also an RFID protected pocket. On the back, there is a loop which allows the backpack to slip over the handle of a larger rolling bag. The wheels roll smoothly and quietly. A zippered pocket on the back conceals the backpack straps. The folks at Everki thought of everything. Needless to say the ultimate rolling backpack doesn't come cheap. In my opinion, the Atlas EKP122 backpack outshines all others, including luxury branded backpacks which have only half the features at an even higher price-point. Finally, a well made rolling backpack made by folks who truly understand business travel needs. Bravo!
