BAGS

PACK & CARRY YOUR TECH ESSENTIALS IN STYLE

WaterField Maverick Leather Laptop

Messenger Bag ($289-$319) We wouldn't be surprised if this is the last laptop bag you buy. Carefully crafted using premium cross-grain leather that will develop a soft patina over time, this messenger bag from WaterField is built to last. In addition to easily fitting your 13-inch laptop, this roomy bag has plenty of room for your iPad, iPhone, headphones, and any other work gear you want to bring along.

Booq Saddle Pro Bag ($295) This expandable laptop bag from Booq has room for everything you need, including your iPad, iPhone, and tech accessories. The durable construction and high-quality materials give the bag a luxurious feel. And in addition to its numerous compartments and pockets, there is an expandable center section that allows you to squeeze in all of your tech, plus a change of clothes for an overnight business trip. It also has the essential quick-access front pocket and rear loop for connecting to your trolly suitcase.

Solo Elite Backpack ($79.99) This roomy backpack fits a 17-inch laptop in the padded rear compartment and everything you'll need for work or school in the front compartment. In addition to a wide range of pockets that will keep your gear safe and accessible, the Elite has a collapsible compartment that I've found can comfortably fit workout shoes or a change of clothes, while keeping them separate from the rest of your belongings.

STM Myth Laptop Sleeve ($59.95)

Sometimes you don't need to carry all the things with you. This fleece-lined 13-inch laptop sleeve from STM is perfect for those times when you just want to throw your laptop or iPad Pro, and nothing else, into a bag and go. The removable shoulder strap gives you the option of using the Myth as a standalone laptop bag or as a sleeve to protect your iPad or MacBook when you stash it in a bigger bag.

LifeProof Goa 22L Backpack ($159.99) This rugged backpack from LifeProof easily doubles as both a commuter bag and hiking backpack. I've tested its capacity and found this deceptively compact bag to easily accommodate a 15-inch laptop along with a tablet, iPhone, two water bottles, and anything else you need for your workday. You can even carry things that don't usually fit into a backpack, such as a yoga mat, using the front tie downs. For outdoor adventures, you'll love the Goa's hydration reservoir pocket and water-resistant construction.
