Even without my nerd day hangups, the backpack wasn’t very good looking. It reminded me of one of those square Pan-Am travel bags grandma used to have. I had this sudden urge to offer people breath mints while using it…or at least save teabags for future dunks (Grandma: “You can reuse a teabag at least 3 times, stop wasting money young man”). However, I’ve seen those type of bags at Urban Outfitters, so maybe it actually attempted to be retro. Nonetheless, the shoulder strap didn’t adequately distribute the weight and I felt very uncomfortable walking with it. It was great on the bike though. After forcing myself to use it for the review, I quickly put it on the shelf and abandoned it. It’s a backpack with a messenger bag strap, nothing more. Sorry Targus, no offense, but I don’t think you’ll be seeing too many marketing or fashion majors using your bag. Maybe you can do some cross-promotion on Warcraft, or hit the other end with http://www.aarp.org/. It was an upgrade, but not by much. The only reason I’d upgrade from my black bag to this is because my Macbook fits perfect. However, I had to remove my Neocase sleeve to use it.
