The Only Backpack Brand I'll Ever Buy
The part of my life most worth living is on motorcycles, from long trips to work commutes. 6 months ago I bought the Matein NTE Travel Laptop Backpack because only Matein has the brilliant yellow that goes with my GSXR750. (And my jacket, gloves and helmet - it's a "look".)
6 months with the NTE made it certain I'd get a Matein in red to match my VFR800 Interceptor: the Mlassic Travel Laptop Backpack (because the NTE isn't made in red).
The NTE and Mlassic are much alike. The Mlassic has one fewer outside zippered pockets and a couple fewer inside pockets. Otherwise the Mlassic has all the features listed below.
The NTE 18.4" is big; I could live out of it for a month but it's still comfortable after multiple 6 hour days of riding. (2 smaller sizes are available.) It has 3 main storage spaces, each with inside pockets to keep a raft of odds and ends where they can be found quickly. The laptop space is great for keeping soft cover books and file folders flat. There are an additional 3 outside, zippered storage spaces, and because this is a backpack with everything, there's a built in USB cable inside for plugging in a power bank which goes to a USB port on the exterior, and I've never seen this in a backpack: a key ring that snaps in and out of a holder in one of the interior spaces.
Both the NTE and the Mlassic have a sturdier construction than my past backpacks. Empty they sit flat on the floor holding their shape and not collapsing like others with thinner materials.
I've ridden 375,000 miles, almost all with a backpack. I know backpacks, and these are the best I've had.
