Briggs & RileyHTA Slim Expandable Backpack, Forest

So, my current bag is a Tumi, but it’s heavy and gets surprisingly full quite quickly.Tried a Samsonite but quality really wasn’t there - then I saw this…. PERFECT!!Quality of materials and zips is very good indeed. Feels strong and very well made! Definitely built to last! It’s not the ballistic nylon of Tumi, but it’s not far off!Bag feels light enough and I absolutely love the fact it has an expanded zip that gives you just that bit extra when you need a few extra files, books, or even as I do, my travel coffee mug!! There is even a compartment at the front for a water bottle if you need it, and a zip compartment in the back to safely tuck away travel tickets or passport!Really happy with it and decent price for where it sits on the quality scale!

Whoever designed this front pocket with a flap of material inside, next to the zip, needs their head examined. Inevitably, it’s now well and truly caught in the zip. Can’t remove the fabric, can’t move the zip. I guess there’s a reason why these are cheaper than Tumi. Not impressed.
