Incredible quality

That is the exact backpack I was looking for! A lot of handy pockets (both outside and inside), and padded zones for my MacBook 14' and iPad 11'. I bought this backpack together with the tech organizer (Zeolite) and my travels have never been easier (especially at the airport security check). It's really easy to organize the space in the backpack by dividing the common zone into two sections and e.g. carry the tech organizer in the bottom and use the top section for more frequently used stuff.

Everything you could ask for in a backpack

I bought this backpack for work and it has been a lifesaver, not to mention looking good while doing it. I work in the city and it allows me to fit my work laptop, paperwork, water bottle and so much more. I use the below compartment as a lunchbox and wow is it perfect. Couldn’t have come up with a more perfect backpack if I could. Versatile and functional!

I couldn't be happier!

I LOVE my new backpack! I spend the day at work, and I was looking for a backpack that fits my laptop, training shoes, and some clothes. This backpack is perfect for this purpose. It is very comfortable, practical, and beautiful. Besides the product's great quality, the Urth philosophy is amazing!

I could not end this review without mentioning the Urth support. They are so kind and helpful! I had a problem with my payment, and I would have given up on my purchase if it weren't for the Urth support. Based on how they treated me on the chat tool, I knew that I was dealing with a serious company that care about their clients.

Thank you Urth!
