Atlas Wheeled 2

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.

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.

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.

This Bag is thee bag for the big gaming laptops, it’s fit my 17.3 new Alienware 2016 perfectly and even have space for a little bigger bag, I didn’t try (the laptop currently not with me) but I don’t think it will fit my 18inch Alineware 2013

I like everything about the bag, made, details, I carry my dell 15.4 inch laptop in it too which is business laptop, fit all my gear, I think Everki do the best laptop bag

But make no mistakes, this is a big commitment, I don’t think you can carry any bag with this bag for too long, can’t be put on another bag, it’s huge which nice fit all my gear but doesn’t fit in the old airplanes or any cabinet

I think the only thing it’s might need is to make it 4 wheel bag so you can drag it easy with other bags when you traveling

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!

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.
