Atlas Backpack | EVERKI

The product seems to be made from good material and the stitching looks solid. I have went through, over, and under, this back and I found no signs of loose stitching. The zippers are quality. I have a 17" laptop that fits "Snug" so I may decide to return this and order the Titan which looks to be slightly bigger. I'm not sure what the difference in them is besides the size, but if the Titan pack has as many compartments to store stuff in then it's good to go. Over all if your packing for a 72 hour hike the Atlas is probably not what your looking for. However if your a student lugging around your laptop books and everything else that students carry, this back would be a great fit. It's got enough room for any gear you might carry for an over night stay. I am a Marine Veteran and this is my opinion.

Excellent, full featured TSA-friendly backpack. Two features that I find particularly useful are room for a laptop and a tablet in either side of the "clamshell" opening so dealing with airport security doesn't involve taking either out of my bag -- and the soft felt pocket at the top of the bag for sticking my phone and watch into before I go through security. Great bag!

When I bought this bag, it looks perfect, everything is nice. However, after my first trip with this bag, I got an issue with so called "5-Point Balance Strap System", that is one adjustable strap (right side) lost, I even don't know where it gone. I realize that the design approach of two red slide buckles is week, and not reliable, probably not been tested. because I have not use this bag heavily. Now I don't know how can I fix this, the parts looks very unique. Hope I could get the adjustable strap as part for fixing this defect.

Got backpack as gift for Christmas. Looks and feels great. Looking forward to using it on my first business trip!

I am happy with the quality of the backpack. Material used is definitely premium. Now, the reason I bought this was because of the checkpoint-friendly function that this backpack offers as I travel on a monthly basis and I mostly travel in the Asia Pacific Region out from Singapore. I have to comment that most of the airport checkpoint still require you to remove the laptop out from the backpack despite of the checkpoint-friendly design the backpack has. If i am given another chance to purchase another Everki Backpack, I will definitely get the trolley version instead of the not usable checkpoint-friendly design. For that, I will rate it 3-star.

This is the most awesome backpack that I've ever owned. There are however a few minor quibbles:

1. The worst part of this backpack is the handle and because you pick up your backpack by the handle every day it is reminder of the fact that this one part sucks. Make it feel good in your hand, please.

2. The laptop area has a secondary tablet compartment. It is not tall enough for an iPad Pro. Increase the height by 3 inches and that is fixed.

3. Would be nice to have more pockets. Use the opposite front facing side of the bag to add a few more.

4. The key chain hook is in the wrong place. It is right over the business card pockets and sure to tear up cards. Just move it over to the other side. There is a zippered compartment there where it wont hurt anything. Also the hook could be a little better, perhaps deeper divot, so it will keep keys from falling off.

5. If you are shooting for perfection, then the zippers need to have separate pulls for right and left so the word "Everki" faces in. A really minor quibble but perfection should be the goal. Left and right facing zipper pulls will show the kind of attention to detail this bag deserves.

Overall a really awesome bag in so many ways. I'm very happy, but I hope Everki listens so they can make this bag perfect.

This was large purchase for me, and the most I have ever spent on a backpack, and I DO NOT regret the purchase! My husband convinced me to purchase a high quality backpack, so after 6 months+ of research to find the best backpack on the market, I found Everki was the best, and the Atlas fit my needs perfectly. I commute to work by train everyday and my Everki Atlas has been a GREAT friend to me. I was previously using a very old backpack and it was making my lower back hurt, after the first day of using my new Everki backpack my back felt better, and after a week I had no pain at ALL. If you are considering a new backpack, this one or any of the Everki backpacks would be awsome. If the price is holding you back don't let it, as you can see Everki has a lifetime warranty on all their backpacks, when you choose your Everki backpack, you are choosing outstanding quality and customer service, once you have used an Everki backpack, you will never go back to another brand!! I love my Everki backpack and would not trade it for the world!!!

I have just bought the Atlas 1 week ago. I have used it during my business trip, and all my laptop, gadgets & files neatly arranged therein. It is very helpful and trendy.

I have accumulated many laptop bags and this Atlas is very good. A little tight for a 17.3 laptop, but fits in snug. I do travel a good amount and the features are spot on. I might suggest just three possible adjustments to the bag.

One, a shallow storm flap that discretely is out of the way unless you need it over the newspaper/magazine area if the rain comes up.

Two, tasteful side compression straps to compress the bag when you don't have a full load and you want to make the bag and contents more stable.

Three, pen and business card pocket in the front flap. When loaded the middle area isn't as accessable as the front area.

Other thoughts:

The side pocket for a water bottle is limited to smaller bottles but that keeps the profile sleek.

RFID protection for the front pocket.

A discreet rain cover over the length of the coil zippers helps keep out the elements

A inner sleeve pocket in the magazine area sized for boarding passes. Keeps boarding passes from falling out when you pull out your newspaper or magazine.

In the meantime, I'll see if there is a rain cover for downpour situations and can figure out a way to control shifting load.

You have a great bag already. Perhaps these ideas may help the innovation and organization of the bag. I'll watch for these features in the future.

This is a great product. Well made and durable. This is a VERY minor issue, it would be nice to have more than two pen/pencil holders. Having a total of 4-5 pencil/pen holders with a closed bottoms on it would make this a perfect business travel backpack.
