It has many pockets and compartments painstakingly designed to provide a lasting solution to critical travel needs. At the back, accessed from its zip, it accommodates separate laptop sleeve which fits a large 15″ PC laptop. This makes it safer and easier to take it in and out at the airport. It also contains straps to hold clothes down, similar to that of a suitcase. These work separately in making it ideal for travel and carrying clothes into work.
Strictly at the sides, there are a couple of slip pockets, one designed for keeping the phone and the other large enough for carrying shoes. On the rear, there is a large zip; behind it is a stuff compartment.
The Upgrades to Slicks
Slicks are now a complete system, with various attachments that fit into the bag –a mobile wardrobe with a shirt folder, a suit bag, laundry bag and a toilet bag. Any of these two things clip into the main compartment of the backpack, and they are really and safe to use.
The suit bag is same as before – pretty slimline and brief and doesn’t take up more space than necessary. It has a hanger that folds and unfolds and can be folded into four so as to fit into the backpack. With this feature, you can fit a t-shirt, some underwears, and a laptop into the bag.
The mobile wardrobe is Whoa! It has a smart shirt folder with a collar protector. Also visible, is a compartment for the toilet bag and dirty laundry which is very convenient to use. It requires a lot of zipping and unzipping to get into it.
Pros
The Slicks Travel Backpack is remarkably organized. It is a multipurpose traveling bag. If you are a person who needs a place for everything and a pocket, particularly while traveling, then this bag is for you.
Without the extra compartment, the bag can accommodate a lot of things, and the back panel is pretty comfortable. It is a highly flexible travel bag, excellent, especially since you can pick the style that fits your regular use. It is rectangular in shape; this makes it a reasonably good briefcase, but quite a large one.
The bag has reflective hits on the front and sides, which enhance night visibility when cycling. It also has a rain cover for protection from rain, for a shorter trip it would not be required as the fabrics are pretty water repellant.
Cons
The bag is bulky, and it weighs 3kg when empty. This makes it not so comfortable to move it from place to place. The pockets and zips take up space without it being usable.
Conclusions
The sticks backpack has a previous version and the updated version, but both have a just little difference, and both are available in the market. It is a good development that you can select the version that suits your uses. For more details better visit to- http://www.travelpacks.net/
