Review: LoopBag BackPack

Have you ever been walking along the street downtown when suddenly you spot a backpack that isn’t quite your average backpack, it is different, fresh, new. Then all of the sudden, you have to have it. That is exactly what LoopBag’s BackPack will do to you. This is a bag that is unlike any other, it is more open, round, and built like a tank – minus the firepower. But wait, who is LoopBag and where did they come from? LoopBag is a relatively new, award winning company  that creates one-of-a-kind bags, and their BackPack is no exception.

Design

The design of the LoopBag is what sets it apart from every other bag on the market. It is completely “openable” with zippers going all the way around from the back to the front in a very rounded loop – hence LoopBag – allowing the bag to be opened almost to the point where the laptop protector (center) has nothing surrounding it but the sides. Also, the designers did a fantastic job including four zippers on the main liner allowing for easy access and customizable use. In addition to the main area, this bag includes another pocket on the front which is perfect for the cell phone, iPod, and those other little accessories.

Whats With The Loop

The BackPack’s design has two loops, one for the front pocket, and the other larger area that opens all the way to the back allowing for maximum storage. On this bag, you have the room to place things in ever crack of the bag which both makes it for efficient, and helps the pack stay organized when being used with a full load.

Laptop Cradle

This bag holds the laptop in a very unique way. Rather than the laptop being in the front or the back, it is sort of floating in the center in its own little protective cocoon. The is plenty of protection under, above, and to both sides of the laptop to keep it extremely safe, more so than some other bags.

Waterproof

The BackPack was built with “the unique matt Airguard Nylon fabric : light, durable and totally waterproof.” Inside and out, this bag will keep water out, and the MacBook, iPhone, and iPad safe.

Conclusion

LoopBag’s BackPack is a stunning backpack that holds a fair amount of items, though it doesn’t hold the most compared to some other bags like Tom Bihn’s Smart Alec. It being made out of WaterProof fabric does make it appealing to most people. Overall it is made beautifully and, like Tom Bihn’s, is made well (doesn’t feel cheap nor as if it came of an assembly line alongside many others). LoopBag’s BackPack is available for $130 in four different colors from their website  located here.
