Eastpak OUT OF OFFICE Backpack

Whether I was cycling my shopping home, shoving onto a crammed Circumvesuviana train when I was travelling, or going to a lecture at uni with it full of books, my Eastpack rucksack never let me down. I have used Eastpak for the last 3 years and due to their reliability, recommended them to my gf who uses one herself. The padded pocket at the back, is ideal for a 13 inch laptop and together small zip pocket in the back, are really useful for keeping valuables in if you're travelling and going through crowded stations, etc. I have also discovered that by putting all the zips on the same side, you can actually lock the two main body zips to the front pocket zip (as you can see in the photo) and it literally can't be opened, so if you're planning on travelling with this thing, I'd definitely invest in a good quality mini lock. You can fit a surprising amount of things in the bag and this particular colour (black denim) is a really nice change from the straight black (which I and seemingly EVERYBODY has). Yes, some bags are cheaper, but you get what you pay for, and when you think that to change a zip on a rucksack you're looking at 40+ pounds, then this is a true bargain. Even if it lasts you 3 years, it's a lot better than buying loads of flimsy bags at 15 pounds a shot with zips that keep breaking, or cheap materials that rip. It's also very comfortable to wear with it's padded back (even my cat agrees!). If you want a good rucksack that does it's job nicely and will be reliable at the job it was built for, I would highly recommend. (In the photos you can see my first trusted black bag which was the same model, before I tried something different. The black denim version can be seen in the second, unfortunately the cat is not included...)

The bag quality is as expected.

I needed a slightly larger backpack. I did a lot of research. My previous Eastpack was a great backpack, but I wanted something that had some water resistance, as my old one would just get soaked & soak everything that was inside. Sadly, even though it says it is water resistant, it also just get soaked through with light rain. Oh well. Aside from that, it's roomy, sturdy, not too heavy & comfotable

Great back pack, I gifted it to my bf, he’s been using it for over a year carrying heavy things in it and it still looks brand new. Definitely recommend

Love the colour. Easy access. Function well. Comfortable to use. Very spacious. Cute to carry with one strap. Hope it last longer. 🤞

Bought this as an upgrade to my old Eastpak bag (which is still perfectly fine after 5 years of everyday use) - but I fancied a change in colour and was swayed by the slightly larger size and laptop sleeve in comparison to my Pak'r, not to mention the good price. The bag is of very strong quality and feels very well constructed and sturdy, whilst still looking casual and stylish. It should be noted that although it claims the laptop sleeve is for smaller laptops (13" I beleive?) I regularly place my 14/15" (not too sure) laptop inside a protective sleeve in the internal laptop sleeve too. The only difference is that you can't Velcro it in place to secure it however it still fits. In short, this is the best you can get at this price.

Replaced my previous Eastpak, which survived 8 years of daily use and abuse. This has thus far served as a worthy replacement. No bells or whistles, just a good quality backpack which is a bargain at the price (£28). It boasts fewer features than other brands, but it's more than fit for purpose. Simplicity is its appeal. It's certainly true what they say: less is more.

I have had this backpack for about 4-5 years and it had not failed me since then. A true travel companion.
