Atlas Wheeled 2

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!!

Remarkable this product is not reviewed. It is NOT the Dream bag I had hoped for. It is a well constructed bag, and with a computer on board it is not lightweight at all. I keep my daily life necessities in this bag - I am an event producer in NYC and commute, often daily, but also must carry alt. clothing etc. I can do this with great planning in this bag, but At just under 6' tall, despite communication with the mfg while purchasing, this bag handle is insufficient for anyone 6' +. The heel kick I experienced in first 14 days was remedied by a 3rd pty luggage handle I found on Amazon.

I like the product though. And the customer service when my first bag arrived with a damaged zipper was exemplary. But the bag on wheels is imbalenced with an admittedly heavy load and the bottom corners are starting to show ill effects of an admittedly rugged NYC commuter's demands. I plan on ordering a shoulder Messenger bag though, as the outer fabric is durable and so far waterproof in my use.

But the tow handle is an issue Everki MUST address. I was initially told by a 6'3" customer service rep that I would find the handle long enough to eliminate "heel kick" as he had field tested this bag himself. He must have arms that reach below his knees The handle is 6" too short for my very normal 6' frame. The luggage handle I employ is not perfect and as a result, the bag frequently "spins" and goes off axis and drags on the sidewalk. Daily. So that's a drag.

The interior of the bag is ingenious and wonderfully laid out in general, but a bit tight in the front compartments. I would buy this bag again if Everki made some very basic improvements to it's versatility.

Love the space in this bag! Quality engineered. Only complaint is with handle. Sticks on first articulation.... very frustrating. Hope Everki figures this one out. I have multiple Everki products, which I love, but would reconsider other options for wheeled backpacks. This was a Fathers Day present that I was looking forward to. Spend about 200 day a year on road, but concerned with this deign.
