Smart-Pack®: PLUS+

I've used roller bags for my computer and a single change of clothes before trying this bag. I love the sophisticated look (befitting a road warrior) and the capacity is much greater than you'd expect...with plenty of pockets everywhere. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the magnetic snaps, but they have stayed consistently fastened. The only drawback is the front loaded toiletries kit. When filled, it often gets bumped off of the connectors and is simply held by the (difficult to fasten/unfasten) leather strap. I took it off and stowed it inside, which leaves the two fasteners visible on an otherwise beautiful bag. It's not enough to lower the rating...if 4.5 stars had been an option, I would have selected that. I am very happy with the purchase - if there's a future iteration, I'd work on the single item listed, but I would not let that keep you from purchasing the bag.

I was gifted this backpack from the team at Skyborne. I have reviewed many backpacks as a Youtube reviewer, and this is pristine is its design, materials, and function. I absolutely love it, and would highly recommend this bag not only for travellers, but just using it as a daily bag. If I would nitpick at anything, it would be not getting to choose from color options, although I do understand Skyborne is a start-up. 9.8/10

If you live an on-the-go lifestyle, this backpack is for you. You’ll never buy another bag again. It is absolutely jacked up with all sorts of features to handle anything a busy day can throw at you. The materials feel high-end inside and out, and attention to detail is prevalent throughout its finer details. Some awesome Canadian innovation here, great work. Cant wait to take this bad boy on the road with me!

Had the pleasure of reviewing Skyborne's Smart-pack PLUS+, and its overall design is truly awesome and super purposeful for travelers. Highly recommended

As a small framed girl (5'1) I thought this bag may be a bit too big for me when I first considered it as my go to for travel. I was wrong! Its so comfortable, the back padding and straps really take a lot of the weight and pressure off you even when the bag is packed full. The entire backpack is built like an armored tank, its so so durable, leak proof zippers, water proof nylon, and so on. I have never felt a backpack that feels as premium as this, as I can just tell based off the super smooth zippers, that it will last me a lifetime of use. I have taken it to my on my trip to Alberta, Madiera, and the Swizterland, and its all I have ever needed while exploring around after I have left my Air B & B's/Hotels.

I think whats also very undderstated is that this is truly an ALL around bag. I use it every day on my daily commutes, as its anti-theft protected laptop sleeve allows me to feel safe while keeping my tech protected. The zipper pockets located on the straps are so convenience for my Airpods as well.

I give this a 9.8/10 and not a 10 as I originally wanted the Forrest Green edition :( Which I was told by a Skyborne rep will be released in 2023.

All in all, awesome design, great quality, and a great size.

I would definitely recommend this backpack to travellers and commuters alike.
