Ok here is the skinny. I first bought a timbuk2 commute. It was a great bag very well made but for me (looks wise) a little too backpack-y all said though very well made. I did send it back however because I needed it to look a little more professional. Opted for this one.STM VeloPros: very well made, fits my sony viao 15.6. The padding on the computer section is the best I have seen. If I drop the bag I have no fear padding is that good. Lots of space and pockets. The solid black looks a lot more professional (Im using for work) soft lining on an exterior pocket for phone is very nice. Nice divider inside for files and another soft lined compartment for ipad or reader, also I like on the back there is a zipper on the bottom that can open for stacking on other roller luggage, but when not in use that way can double for more file folders as it zips up on the bottom. Padded handle is centered atop the bag so you can carry that way and the weight is evenly distributed... |

This is my first experience with an STM bag, and it won't be my last. Even a cursory inspection of this bag will tell you this is a company that obviously builds quality products: the stitching is superb, the zippers heavy-duty, the strap and handles sturdy and comfortable, the shape deliberate, and every opening constructed with a specific purpose in mind.I was very impressed with the shape of the main, top opening; it's deceptively wide and constructed with the front of it drooping down so that with only a quick flip of the top flap one can access anything inside it. Though the bag is very light and pliable, and though it doesn't have any stiff pieces of cardboard sewn in (only foam padding), the whole thing--including the main, top opening--has been deliberately created to maintain a very particular shape, one which is conducive for its purpose (to be carried like a messenger would carry it--think Jack Bauer's ever-present carryall).One thing I really like... |

Every television news producer has the same obsession...the search for the perfect bag. After 20 years in the business, I have amassed an embarrassing collection of bags. I've tried just about every style of bag...backpack, messenger, doctor, even towable. My mission has always been to find a bag that can carry all the tools of the trade safely, comfortably and in a way that allows me to find what I need when I need it.The STM Velo is the best I've ever owned. Right now it holds a 15" Retina display macbook, an iPad, iPad keyboard, a 15" USB monitor, an external drive [in a case], Bose headphones [in their case], reading glasses, misc. office supplies [pens, pads, reporter notebooks, etc], business cards, cables, water bottle, mail and a couple of magazines. And I know where every one of the those items is located.And it's comfortable to carry...even at the ridiculous weight of all the crap I carry around everyday.The bag is beautifully... |
