INTRODUCTION


    Is the Crumpler Laptop Bag an improvement over my old faithful? What about all of my current and future accessories? Does the laptop padding have any substance to it? What is a Quick Flick buckle? How easily does the padded strap work? I am a person who loves the extra large bag to hold all of my STUFF, and as you will see in this review, I mean lots of Stuff. I take my laptop bag everywhere I might have an opportunity to use it, kinda like a security blanket.

WHAT'S HOT

   

According to the Crumpler website, The Part and Parcel bag is, "...the ultimate messenger style 15" laptop satchel, with 'kitchen sink' features yield. Sacrifices a little interior space for the extra protection afforded by full padded protection for your expensive IT goodies whilst on the go. Very 'suit'-able but still street ably acceptable looks-wise." Let's take a detailed look, and evaluate the claim.

PRODUCT FEATURES


(all images link to higher resolution)

This Laptop bag is 17.7 x 13.8 x 5.9 inches and has a great look, with a truly tough, water resistant 1000D Nylon shell

.

I sprayed the outer shell with water and found out that water resistance does not does not mean waterproof. ;)

 

Note the adjustable main strap w/ Quick Flick TM buckle above. The Quick Flick is a buckle that allows you to adjust the length of the shoulder strap within seconds.

             

My 15" HP 4325 laptop fits snugly into its own fully padded pocket that is 13 x 10.6 x 1.6 inches. Crumpler has done a great job of making sure that a laptop fits securely.

Note the roomy 420D Rip stop Nylon lining. Inside is an immense amount of room; I have a tendency to put too much stuff inside of them.

When you first open the Crumpler Bag, you begin to see all of the storage possibilities.

The external gusseted zipper pocket has six pockets to hold your pens, mouse, mobile speakers, and so on.

Hey, I told you I didn't know when to stop putting stuff inside the bag! Not pictured about is what I had in the meshed compartment, and believe it or not, there was room for more!
