laptop sleeve - perfect for the MacBook
Review of Crumpler Gimp 17 inch Laptop Sleeve by
marief70
Advantages: Does the job and looks pretty too
Disadvantages: None!
This is a little pricey for what it is you might think but mine has been really worth the money. It's so handy if you want to keep your laptop in a rucksack or quickly take it somewhere, it really does prevent the scratches and spills without being at all bulky. I have a MacBook Pro 17" and it fits perfectly, be careful if you have a not so slim laptop as it may not fit. I also use it on my lap to prevent the MacBook from burning my legs and am using ...

Bags of room!
Review of Jansport Super Break Duffel by
bamamo
Advantages: absolute tardis, easy to carry, wide range of colours/patterns
Disadvantages: none
...online I came across the Jansport Duffel and, ticking all the boxes, I bought it off eBay for what I consider a bargain £24.99. I think postage was about £4.99.
*Appearance and dimensions
As I said before, the bag I chose is 20" but Jansport also make this bag in 24" (£29.99) and 36" (I couldn't find this for sale on an English site at the time of writing to give a price). I find the 20" (10.5" h x 20" w x 12" d) perfect for hand luggage, you can ... ...straps. If you're familiar with Jansport bags at all, you'll know they do all kinds of crazy colours and patterns. This duffel is no different. I've seen a variety from plain black, to stripes, floral, plaid and camo. It depends where you buy it as most online stores I've seen have usually a couple of plain colours and one or two patterns.
While I love the pattern of mine, if I do buy a larger one too I will definitely get it in the plain chocolate ...

A backpack for travellers rather then trekers!
Review of Vango Planet Traveller 70+20 by
jennyf16
Advantages: packed full of features
Disadvantages: cost
I bought this bag after it was reduced and seemed a good size capacity. After taking it home and using it properly for a trial run before a round the world trip I realised exactly how many features it has. The bag is a 70l main backpack with a 20l day pack that attaches via zip to the main bag so you can carry both at once. The size is ideal, as 20l is what most kids have for a school/college bag and 70l will fit a whoel girls wardrobe in for 3 months ... ...limit! The only problem being picking it up! For security you can have the big bag pack on your back and the small backpack can then attach to the straps of the big backpack so you've got all your personal/valuable documents within easy reach and within sight. Unlike most travellers backpacks this one isn't top loading. It unzips all the way around, like a suitcase, so you can access everything. This is rather than being top |
