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…

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.

The Atlas wheeled is a truly Great Bag. I had the most ginormous wheeled leather laptop briefcase made by CompuCase from about 2003 or so. It's been all over the country and has seen a lot of day use for the last 13 years. Rather than spend a lot of $ fixing the odds and ends it needs (again), I splurged and dove into modern tech with the Atlas wheeled laptop. I migrated all of my stuff over from the old briefcase and am still amazed that the Atlas had a place for everything. I've looked at other laptop briefcases but they just didn't have enough individual areas to store the items I need to tote around with me day to day.

The Atlas is made very well (any back that has a serial # to register HAS to have something going for it. right? Great storage, very well built. It is not cheap, but it also far surpasses my expectations, so is a great value for the investment. I'm looking forward very much to travelling with it. Fully loaded to the gills it will still easily slip into an overhead compartment of even the small regional jets. Nice job Everki and thanks!!

I'm writing this review without actually having used the backpack yet. That said, it exceeds my expectations for the features I was looking for and appears to be very well made. My wife has a wheeled backpack that cost almost double what I paid for the EKP122 but doesn't have as many features. Build quality is pretty much the same but I know I'll like this one.

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.

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.

[original 2014 review - still true]

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!

I’m very happy with the Atlas Wheeled. It’s very functional with many convenient pockets, storage, and space without being bulky.

The Atlas Wheeled backpack is well-designed. Considerations were made concerning versatility, particularly centered on modes of carry (i.e., carry, wheel, luggage strap). These features are uncommon among other major brand backpack and luggage manufacturers. Clearly, someone on the Everki engineering team is a business traveler who identified a gap in bag types bearing the three features included on the Atlas: luggage strap, wheels/extendable handle, and backpack straps. This bag is one for the books (and laptop, overnight outfit, and more)!

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!
