I like my new laptop bag. I am writing to suggest that you increase the size of the small pocket with the zipper or add a new pocket with a zipper that would accommodate a passport.

A pocket with a zipper is more secure than a open pocket and would be very valuable for international travelers.

Thank you for your consideration and great product.

I bought my Atlas backpack nearly two years ago. It has been a great purchase. I was looking for a high quality backpack for business but didn't want to spend $500+. I travel frequently on 2-3 day trips and this backpack plus a small carry-on is everything I need. Great organization for comfortably carrying laptop, tablet, accessories, documents, and other supplies. I'm a lawyer and travel with a lot of documents. The separate storage in the large compartment is great for putting a red rope or other docs so that they don't get beat up. I like all the different pre-designed pockets. Makes it easy to stay organized.

The only downside I have experienced is in the bottom corners of the laptop compartment. I started to notice cracks on the corners of my laptop case. I realized it was from dropping my backpack on the ground with my laptop in it or sliding my laptop into the laptop compartment while the bag was on the ground. Some added protection around the bottom corners of the laptop compartment would improve this, but it is a minor issue. No real damage to my laptop. I put a small amount of foam at the bottom of the compartment and haven't had anymore issues. Other than that, there is some minor tearing in the bottom corners of the laptop compartment but hasn't hurt function at all.

I use mine every day, even when not traveling. For the price, and two years of heavy use, that is very minor wear and tear.

I have owned the Atlas for about 4 months now. For my job I travel quite a bit to different schools presenting about Career Technical Education. I pack a 13" laptop, a couple 100 flyers, a couple 100 brochures, iPad, Apple TV, cords, Nalgene water bottle, and other accessories. All of it fits very nicely and there seems to be plenty of space for cords, pens, and extras. The pockets aren't specifically set up for AV cards, etc. but that does not seem to be a problem. The Nalgene bottle does not fit on the side of the pack but I can fit my coffee container on the side and I don't worry about it spilling. The sunglass area is a nice addition. I put breakfast bars and candy there. My 13" laptop fits just fine and is seems secure. However, I would not want to drop the pack from a high distance as there isn't a lot of padding underneath it. The pack appears very well made, solid, and while it is a bigger bag (fits up to a 17" laptop) I feel comfortable wearing it while I am wearing a tie. It looks nice and I do not feel out of place wearing it to meetings, etc. The bag feels bigger because it is taller. Not sure how it relates to the Concept in terms of size. I have only one poor complaint. I am 6'2" and can not cinch up the pack to fit tight up on my shoulders. It rides low and rubs on my belt, which can be a little uncomfortable. That is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Other than that I love the pack and will use it for many years.
