Beacon Backpack
The Beacon is EVERKI’s rugged and spacious backpack for giant laptops. This sporty and super-comfortable backpack is perfect for carrying multiple devices, textbooks, and even the beefiest laptop in the ultra-soft, padded and felt-lined compartment. It also comes with a dedicated sleeve for your gaming console. And, the Beacon still has room in the main compartment for your cords, power bricks, external USB’s and books. Although the Beacon is roomy enough for an 18-inch laptop and all your peripherals, it maintains a slim shape with its slanted front profile. Ruggedly constructed to withstand the rigors of travel, commute or university, the Beacon will be your traveling companion for years to come.
Intuitive design
Yes, the Beacon has lots of large compartments, but that’s not all that makes it so innovative. We’ve designed intuitive spaces for smart organization, buckles and straps positioned for on-the-fly adjustments, and additional front pockets for fingertip access. The dedicated laptop compartment is roomy enough for the most behemoth 18-inch laptop, and in the main storage area, you’ll find a large zippered pocket, dividers, and an assortment of multifunction accessory slots. A clever buckle system allows the main compartment to open halfway for quick access or a full 180 degrees for easy loading; and quick access hip pockets are easily accessible without having to remove the bag from your back. The Beacon – manage big loads with ease.
Gaming console protection
We created the Beacon with the serious gamer in mind. Its main front compartment opens to reveal a fully removable padded sleeve large enough to comfortably fit a Wii, Xbox, or PS series console. The sleeve fits neatly in the main compartment without affecting the ability to carry a laptop, and still leaves room for documents and a few accessories. Additional interior pockets let you keep control of items like cables, chargers, and mouse. Efficiently carry what you need for any gaming expedition.
All-weather protection
We go the extra mile to protect your valuables from the elements, because there’s no telling when you will find yourself stuck in inclement weather with expensive gear on your back. The Beacon’s bottom pocket contains a water-resistant weather cover that stretches to neatly slip over the entire exposed surface of the bag and protects your equipment and documents against rain, snow, or dust. The covering easily detaches to allow for convenient cleaning and drying and can be quickly replaced when you’re ready for your next adventure.
Ergonomically designed
When your backpack is fully loaded it can get heavy, so we engineered a 5-point balance strap system to ergonomically distribute the weight and reduce muscle strain. With straps that adjust at the shoulders, 2 quick-slide straps at the bottom and one across the chest, you have total control over weight distribution. This allows you balanced comfort, even when your backpack is full. The Beacon’s ergonomically designed carry system also boasts a padded back panel with mesh padding and airflow channels to provide maximum air circulation for breathability. The Beacon – cool comfort, total control.
Easy-lift dual handles
Manage your burden with ease with the Beacon’s dual handles, located at the top and the lower front side of the bag to allow you to conveniently get a grip on your bag and more easily maneuver it for packing and unpacking.
Cable management
Cables tangled around your backpack straps? No more. The Beacon’s shoulder straps provide a means to temporarily hang sunglasses and headphones. They work with the side pocket’s cable outlet to route cables and prevent breakage due to tangling.
High-contrast lining
All EVERKI interiors are stylish, high-contrast orange because we know how frustrating it is to mistakenly leave a compartment unzipped, and how difficult it is to organize against a black background. Savvy and Stylish.
Durable zippers and metal pulls
Have you ever broken a zipper on your favorite bag? We have. That’s why we designed the Beacon using durable zippers and metal pulls. So your favorite bag can remain your favorite bag.
Peace of mind
EVERKI makes products of value because we value our relationships. Every product EVERKI makes comes with our Limited Lifetime Warranty which covers manufacturing defects over the entire life of the product. EVERKI. We give you peace of mind.

Customer Reviews
Thanks Everki.
The Beacon, after 3 years of usage, the zip just derailed. Everki happily replaced another bag. Received the bag in 8 days (working days) including communication and shipping.
I carries one , Asus N56NZ, New 3DS XL, Ducky Zero, Logitech G500s, laptop charger, 3 HDD, couple of cables, Logitech F710, coin box, Pelican case 1010 inside my Beacon all the time.
This brand's bag just doesn't break. Few of my associates using the Swift, till now no complain yet,
My Beacon has a good rainproof jacket, anti-theft lock, insane amount of compartments and lifetime warranty.
I'm a cynical person, I gave this brand 5/5 for both quality and service.
When the zipper started to go, Everki was quick to help me out and replace my backpack. Customer service is a 5/5.
My only pet peeve after 3 1/2 years is the front pocket is just two inches to small for my 4x6" day planner.
Great backpack, would recommend it to anyone.
I was torn between this bag and the ROG Nomad bag by Asus. The price was $139 free shipping (Everki) vs $ 159+ shipping (ROG Nomad) but I didn't really mind the extra price for shipping.
The thing that won me over to Everki was the space they provided not the price. Sure the ROG nomad was sexier and would still fit my laptop and other electronic peripherals but it did not provide all the space I will need if I would use that bag as a daily driver (Bringing thick books for students or lunch for work the plus laptop). While still managing to be comfortable without being too bulky looking.
I have a big laptop a Alienware M17x R4 which is roughly around 17.3". Bag fits my laptop as well as a water bottle and my tupperware lunch all in the same bag! Might even be able to squeeze a book or something else.
Bottom line this bag is a great buy, good job Everki!
Absolutely amazing customer service! And this is coming from a guy that believed customer service doesn't exist anymore... So LINDA thank you thank thank you!
Now back to the actual product. Amazing... Can't choose a better word the beacon bag I have I've used it for over four years and it's never let me down. With all the traveling I do through airports and oil rigs it's top notch.
My issue I had was on my last trip home one of my zippers separated ( it has two so still able to use the bag) I never thought about asking for a new bag just asked where I could possible get it fixed.
Linda ( the customer service rep) said I could get a new bag! So if your looking for quality these are the bags to get!
I won't go into detail about my situation but Linda went above and beyond.
When I write this review I hope they can keep these standards for years to come. I also hope people don't try to abuse this customer service.
If I wasn't getting a replacement bag I would be getting another one.
Bravo! Can I put more then 5 stars? *****************
