Whether you are packing up to head into the office everyday, setting off on a work trip or just popping down the street to a coffee shop with your computer, you are probably wondering what’s the best laptop backpack? As modern devices get smaller and more advanced (and also more expensive), you’ll want a backpack that’s durable, comfortable, waterproof, and easy to use. Your bag should protect your device from the elements, and any bumps or bruises that may come along the way.
It can be hard these days to find laptop backpacks that fit larger devices. We believe that all laptops are equally important and our bags offer roomier sleeves to fit any size.
At North St, we specialize in making the best laptop backpacks that we can. Here are our recommendations:
Belmont Backpack
One of our most popular bags, the Belmont makes a great laptop backpack. Cnet named it a “Best Laptop Backpack for 2024” It features an easy access main compartment through a flap and drawstring closure. This method is both easy to use, and keeps the rain out. We use waterproof EPX Sailcloth for the lining to keep the inner contents dry. The liner features a built-in laptop sleeve which is 11” wide and 1” thick. That’s enough space for most larger sized laptops. It’s also a great spot to stash books, papers or other items you want to keep safe.
The Belmont also works well as a travel backpack, hiking bag, or daypack for any adventure. Pack it up and use it for weekend getaways, day hikes
