Sac à Dos Glide

This is the 4th and the least expensive Everki backpack I have bought and it's probably my favorite bag of all time. Several professional backpacks ago I had the Booq Boa Shift which up until now had been my favorite backpack of all time. The Glide surpasses the Boa in every way and take it from me, if your backpack doesn't have the corner protection feature, you need to get yourself a Glide immediately. The only thing that would make the Glide better would be to make the "handle" at the top of the bag the kind that has a metal dowel in the center of it, which makes it easier to hold and hold for a long time. That's no reason for someone on the fence about whether this is a good backpack for a laptop slinger, it is.

I would say the best backpack there is. I bought one 10 years ago, and since 2015 I’ve been using it almost daily.
Size: I love that it’s not bulky. If you need to take only a laptop with you, it stays rather slim. At the same time I could easily fit everything I need for a 1 week business trip. It’s perfect in this context as you can bring to the hotel everything you need, but you don’t look like you’re going camping when meeting your partners. Keep in mind that it’s a 17 inch backpack and it will look big if you’re not tall.
Compartments: As mentioned above, it’s insane how much you can fit in. At the same time, you can keep stuff organized, and I rarely had to take everything out to get to one item. The only thing I’m missing is a propper water bottle compartment.
Aspect: not great, not terrible. It does have some nice features: the orange interior makes everything visible and the outer reflective strip is a great for someone who bikes a lot.
Durability: it’s umbelievable. I used for almost 10 years daily: daily commute by foot, bike, bus, business trips, day pack, including day hikes, carrying groceries, whatever you can think of. All this done in all sorts of weather, from -30 deg Celsius to +40, in sun, rain and snow. The only issues with it are the padding on the straps got compacted and a slight decoloration of the outer pouch.
Maintenance: very easy. I was very surprised that even when I sweat a lot, like on a summer hike or during a bike commute, there are no sweat stains left on the backpack, nor any odors. While this is somthing I always get on my other backpacks.

Got the bag for an immediate trip to Germany with my 17.3 inch laptop. Plenty of room for the laptop, notebook, and all tech gear, with room for my hats, gloves, and water bottle. Plenty of pockets - plenty of space. Interior is high-contrast orange, so easy to find items. Fully loaded it had no problem fitting under the airplane seat in front of me, with room for my feet on either side. Bag is black with orange accents; perfect if you are an OSU Beaver or a SF Giants fan. Padded lumbar keeps the air flowing...wide shoulder straps keep the load feeling lighter. Glad that I bought it...great value for the money spent.

This is product is the most comfortable backpack in the market. I've been using other brands in the past and this product speaks of exceptional quality. Over and above the fantastic product the service received is also world-class. The engagement with the sales and support team behind the scenes was timeous, efficient, and to the point to solve the request the first time around.

Love Love Love this back pack... It has tons of great pockets for organization, awesome quality and feel.

I've been using this for a couple months now and love it. My 17.3 inch Lenova Thinkpad fits perfectly. It has well thought out, useful pockets. I like the soft fabric for the inner laptop sleeve. My commute is a 20 minute walk and I find it comfortable and a big improvement over messenger style bags I've tried.
I also find it has a slimmer profile than other backpacks - no bulging side pockets.
I also bought the rain cover which fits great and keeps the weather off.
Overall I'm happy with the purchase and would recommend.

I started my career in the 1980s and began using portable computers in the days of the lunchbox luggables (even built one of those from scratch). For almost 20 years now, a laptop has been my main machine, not just an alternate for travel. As a computer engineer doing 3D content creation, the machines I need for work are not small, not light, and not cheap to replace. I travel a fair amount on business as well, so the quality and durability of my laptop bag is something I take seriously.

Two years ago, when I bought my current machine, I first heard about Everki from the online laptop enthusiast community. Everyone whose opinion I trusted seemed to rave about this line of backpacks, so I decided to give one a try. I bought the Everki Glide and have used it nearly every single day (even most weekends) for two years.

In 25+ years of portable computing, this is far and away the best computer backpack I have ever owned. Admittedly, I take good care of my gear, but even so, this bag has been through its share of airport checkpoints, coffee shops, conference rooms, technical seminars, and more. It still -- literally -- looks almost brand new.

My biggest complaint about most laptop bags has been that the shoulder strap connection on the right side begins to loosen for me. I have a terrible habit of picking the bag up by its right strap to slide it onto my shoulders, and so I tend to destroy them. Not this one! There is zero sign of wear around the strap stitching. Zero.

Features I love about the Glide include:

* Good mix of interior pockets. I have found that if there are many tiny pockets, I forget what items I put where. This bag has just a few pockets and compartments, but of decent size and fairly easy to see inside. All the little gadgets and thumb drives can just drop in, and I can see what I want or easily reach in and find it by touch.

* The secondary large pocket is apparently a TARDIS, larger on the inside. Not literally, of course, but I'm stunned at how much stuff goes into that pocket, especially if you are efficient in arranging things. The smaller pockets are mostly near the top of the bag, so large items like a gamepad (both for work and for fun, in my case) and external disk drives fit nicely into the bottom and don't bulk the bag's thickness as much as I had expected. This is important because, even fully loaded, I can fit this bag under a standard airline seat in coach class.

* Laptop pocket has a separate partition for the machine within the pocket. I can put my laptop into the internal sleeve, and the primary zipper pocket around that sleeve still has a flat space outside the sleeve. I carry an external portable LCD monitor, which slips neatly along the outside of the laptop sleeve, so it and the laptop do not scratch one another. The space where the external monitor goes still also includes room for my brick-sized 330W power adapter *plus* two different lengths of line cord (30 cm and 3 m). Believe it or not, sometimes I *also* manage to get a Zoom H50 conference voice recorder in its protective case into that same area. It's a TARDIS!

* The interior is orange. It's a nice balance of looking professional when I attend a developer conference or am onsite at a client facility, but it's also not boring and stodgy. I have without hesitation walked into conference rooms at Fortune 500 companies with this bag.

My only -- and very minor -- criticism of this bag is that I wish it had just one small exterior pocket or pouch for small items like an MP3 player and my reading glasses. It would be handy when flying to be able to easily get to those without pulling the bag from under the seat.

If it hasn't been clear by now, let me state definitively that I absolutely love this bag. If I ever buy a computer that needs a different size, I'll be back to Everki as my preferred source.

Recently bought a backpack, great quality material and lightweight. Doesn't weigh you down whatsoever compared to some other bags. I needed to replace my other bag as it was made for smaller laptops. Looked on the website, some great products.

Just had a warranty replacement with my Everki Glide Backpack. Not only am I very satisfied with the bag, but the customer service & response to rectify the situation was top-notch. This is exactly the customer experience I look for when purchasing a premium laptop backpack. Would highly recommend this brand & product to anyone seeking.

I just received my Glide backpack. Great product! They have thought of everything possible. I'm really impressed. I will be buying another bag from this company. I recommend this company and its products to you. You will not be disappointed. Thank you.
