Gadgets I use

It was only a matter of time before I got a new backpack for all of my tech. Don’t get me wrong—I loved my old backpack. What did I get?

Time for a new one

My wife hated the old backpack; I packed a lot of stuff into it. You know the things I might need. Sometimes I didn’t use it, but I might need it if I didn’t pack it. That is why my bag was always full. I will admit that I overpacked, and the old one could last a few more years. But I was looking for a new one. I had several in mind, I narrowed it down to a couple. The only problem was the price—my old one cost about $90. The one I was looking at, well, it was on sale for $189. Usually it was over $200.

Got it

It took me a while to get it. But after I went to the Caribbean, I needed a new one. My wife had it and told me to spend the money. I did, and I ordered the Nomatic everyday bag. This is what it looks like

Nomatic

It is a company that focuses on good, quality products, which range from wallets to Luggage. I have been looking at these bags for a while. This is the packaging they came in.

This is the packing

This bag has some pockets—yes, not as many as the old bag—but it has some mesh pockets you can store stuff in. Will it pack as much as the old one?

It has 2 compartments, one in the back and one in the front.

The front zipper pocket

It has an RIFD zipper pocket you can put in your wallet like a passport. Anything that has the possibility of being scanned should go in there. It has another zipper pocket behind two meh pockets, next to some pen holders.

On the backside of the first pocket, you have four mesh pockets, and it has a notebook pocket, which is what they call it, but I might put other things in there. Still playing around

On the back of the bag, you have a cord pass-through and 2 zipper mesh pockets. I have my cruise luggage tags in there.

On the other side, there are three mesh pockets, one big and two small, and four mesh pockets on the side.

The back has a laptop spot and two pockets for an iPad, notebook, or other similar items.

It does have a small pocket on the back. You can’t tuck the straps behind the snaps and carry it like a briefcase. It also has a pass-through, so you can put it on your carry-on.

It does have a top pocket for a cell phone and stuff like that. Granted, this isn’t as big as the old one, but it will be fine. I have to see what needs to go in there.
