Nomatic - Backpack - Black

I love this backpack! The material is awesome and the quality is very exceptional. The handle is very easy to grab and very comfortable. The zippers take a minute to get used to but that goes fast. The weight distribution I’m pretty phenomenal to me because of the utilization of the pockets everywhere! Nomatic does a great job with using the all of the space going up the bag so you don’t have extra bag that flops around. This is the perfect slim backpack that can carry and organize all of your every day tech and work needs. It’s expensive but worth the price!

There is a reason why some things in life look to be pretty expensive on first glance, but don't let the price tag fool you on this backpack. Nomatic really appears to know what they're doing here. As the attached pictures can attest, this is a solid backpack in terms of overall quality and feel. The main things you might look for in a backpack are likely covered here -- waterproof material (which I hadn't tested), plenty of storage compartments, room for at least a 15-inch laptop, reasonably expandable (for those times when you have to pack a bit more than expected), easily-adjustable shoulder straps, convenient carry loops on the top and both sides, all in a slim profile package that can easily slip underneath the seat in front of you when flying (huge bonus). This backpack went with me on a day trip where I also had to work. I was able to take my 15-inch MacBook Pro along with power cable and Apple mouse, all without issue. In terms of usage, I also have a very good, name-brand canvas-material backpack, and in comparison, the Nomatic was at least as good as what was my otherwise go-to backpack. To be perfectly honest, I had never heard of the brand "Nomatic" before testing this unit. However, based on my experience with this backpack, these pieces are simply rugged works of art worthy of serious consideration for your traveling needs.

I waited a bit to post this review until we had a chance to use the backpack for a while. The Nomatic backpack is rather pricey if you’re used to the school type of backpack, but the features the Nomatic offers are so much more with its well thought out design. Thus far its been used as an everyday bag, but we are looking forward to travel use given its durable, water-resistant materials, YKK zippers, roller bag sleeve and expandability. One compartment even features RFID safe storage for added security. Everyday use has been great so far as the backpack has provided capacity to carry two laptops, multiple tech accessories, sunglasses in their own backpack case, magnetic water bottle pockets that are large enough for a Hydraflask and multiple storage pockets. The strap system is nice that it allows one to use the backpack as a traditional bag with shoulders straps or converted to a briefcase style with side handle. The backpack itself weighs only four pounds so the multiple carry options are easily managed for work and school or weekend travel. There is so much to like about this backpack and nearly nothing to critique. The zipper took a bit getting used to at first when closing and opening the main compartment at the top corners, but has seemed to do okay. Should any issues ever arise it is nice to know that it comes with the Nomatic Lifetime Warranty. This backpack is well worth the price for those that need a quality, durable backpack that is well designed as such to eliminate the constant searches for items in one’s backpack. This backpack has a place for everything which lends itself to great organization and protection for tech gear.

I use A backpack every day for work and school. This bag is high quality and has everything you can think of. It’s sturdy, comfortable and helps keep me organized with all the pockets it has. Worth the money and you’ll never need another backpack

This is a very nice, quality backpack, but I didn't realize how heavy it is as is, empty. And when I put in a laptop, accessories, and other items, it becomes way too heavy to use. My personal preference would be a lighter bag. It is sitting here collecting dust, used it 3 times only. I'd sell it for less than half price to anyone if I could.
