F1 Stowaway Backpack

It's a very light and really thoughtfully designed bag. It's surprisingly inexpensive for its quality design. I love the separate pocket for gym shoes (I also use this to sneak in food/drinks to movie theaters, concerts, sporting events) and the laptop slit so I can easily take out my laptop when going through airport security. While it's not as stylish (wish it were one color rather than two - this makes it more sporty rather than slick), I prefer this over to the more expensive backpack options at Dagne Dover and MZ Wallace. It's lighter than the Dagne Dover neoprene (which is surprisingly heavy) and more functional than the MZ Wallace (their option doesn't have a laptop sleeve). It's perfect as a gym backpack and occasional travel.

I needed a backpack for schlepping both work and gym items. This bag is light, yet still carries: full-size laptop (in a padded pocket/sleeve, iPad, gym clothes, gym shoes (separately), computer peripherals (mouse, charger, etc in inside pockets), phones (external zip for easy access), and still has plenty of room. I’ve used this backpack as my carry-on when traveling, and even though fully packed, it still fit under the seat in front of me. For the price, you can’t beat this product!
