Granville 16 Backpack

The size of this backpack is perfect for an everyday bag to carry my laptop and other work items. I like that the laptop sleeve has a stretchy mesh along the sides, so that it provides snug support for my laptop without putting too much pressure on it. The fact that it's highly weather-resistant is the best featureI don't have to worry about my items getting wet or fumble with a rain cover if I get caught in some weather on my commute. The weather-resistant material on the outside and inside is also very easy to wipe clean. The only thing I wish this backpack had was a pocket for a waterbottle or mug, but the sleek profile is nice.

I really really love my backpack. I'm super glad I went with it. I want to give it 1 less star cause making this decision required so much research that I wish it would have been simple, amongst other things. The biggest issue was I could see anything about the inside of the bag. I had to go through so many different yt videos to get a clearer view of the inside. This has happened to other products as well from Arcteryx. I'm pretty annoyed about that. No regrets though. I love the zipper going all the way down on both sides, it allows me to open all the way if needed. I love my laptop sleeve, i love the pocket on the inside and the one outside. I do wish there was more pockets as I have a lot of small things, and what can't go in the pockets means it's at the bottom of the bag. Which is fine, but it's a lot of deep digging. ie. my portable battery charger. I'm not sure how they would fix this, but I'd be curious to see if there's something you guys could do without compromising the waterproofing aspect. I love that it's waterproof and so far it's served me very well on the multiple day trips/airport/forest trips i've done. It's been so sturdy so far, and I've been able to pack it to the brim or very little. I thought I would be more annoyed with the deep pocket and the pockets, but for everyday use it's great. For my height at 5'2 as a woman it's also been serving me super well.

Beautifully made, lots of interior space and pockets and great padding for your laptop Only addition would be for an exterior water bottle sleeve

Such a fantastic bag I bought 2 colors. Excellent.

I love this back it's great for small trips and everything feels high quality.I don't really understand all the negative reviews.
