Wow, this is a well-designed laptop bag for quick trips, and I can support my favorite team with pride. I have a 16" laptop, which fits VERY snugly in this bag, but I am able to zip it without any struggle.The hardshell backing provides a lot of laptop protection; the outer material is durable; the zippers are sturdy. The adjustment straps are strong and thick and hold well at your preferred length. The shoulder straps are comfortable. The slightly padded carry handle is convenient. The smaller size is perfect for the laptop, cord, and just a few other small items. It's too small for me to use when traveling for more than a day. But I work mostly from home, so it has already come in handy when I "take the office elsewhere" for a bit (like car repairs, and I'll use it at the community pool this summer). I have used a briefcase-like case for short-term use in the past, but the backpack design is easier to carry and far more useful than the over-the-shoulder model. The bag is pricey for its size, where I have purchased much larger travel backpacks at that same price range - but this makes sense when you realize NFL gear is at a premium.
