4-in-1 Convertible Bag, Black Faux Leather Backpack Messenger Briefcase and Tote for 15.6 in Laptops, Chrome Swivel Hooks with Stowaway Strap Panel

Product Information

About this item

• ONE BODY, FOUR WAYS TO HOLD IT: Both straps on and it is a backpack; one strap across the chest and it is a messenger bag; straps off and lifted by the top handle it is a briefcase; stood up on the side handle it is a tote. Every one of those is the same bag with nothing added and nothing removed but webbing
• SWIVEL HOOKS MAKE THE CHANGE QUICK: The straps end in chrome swivel hooks that seat onto rings at the corners of the body, so switching between the four is a matter of two clips rather than a repack, and because the hooks rotate the webbing lies flat again after every change instead of curling; done in a doorway, not at a table
• SOMEWHERE FOR THE STRAPS TO GO: Unhooked straps do not have to be carried in a hand or left trailing. A zippered slot spans the back panel and takes both of them flat, so the profile behind you is smooth and there is nothing to snag on a turnstile, a chair back or the edge of a luggage rack; the back of the bag reads flat against a coat
• TWO HANDLES, TWO DIFFERENT HOLDS: The top handle carries the bag flat and level, which is how a briefcase wants to be held next to a leg; the side handle turns it upright so it hangs the way a tote does. Both are stitched into the seams of the body rather than tacked onto a single outer panel; the anchoring is in the seams, not on the surface
• WHAT IS SUPPLIED AND HOW TO CLEAN IT: One black convertible bag, 16 in tall by 11.8 in wide by 5.3 in deep and 50 oz, with a pair of detachable shoulder straps, two handles, two zippered front pockets and an interior laptop section for a 15.6 in machine; wipe the shell with a soft damp cloth and dry it before storing

Product Description

Four Bags, One PurchaseThe pitch is simple enough to test in a shop doorway. Take the bag off your back, unclip two hooks, feed the straps into the slot behind the back panel, and you are holding a briefcase. Nothing was added, nothing was taken away, nothing got left in a drawer at home. That sounds like marketing until the first time you do it in a hallway.Worn with both straps the Quadra is a backpack, square between the shoulder blades and even across a long walk. Drop one strap and wear the second corner to corner and it is a messenger bag, swung round to the front when something has to come out. That is the carry that suits a crowded platform, because the bag ends up where you can see it.Take both straps off and the character changes. The top handle lifts the body flat and level, which is what a briefcase does and why it sits properly against a leg. The side handle stands the same body upright so it hangs like a tote. Both handles are stitched into the panel seams rather than tacked onto an outer face, so neither is the weak point. Neither one is an afterthought bolted onto a pack, which is what most convertible bags actually offer.The switching hardware is bright chrome. Swivel hooks on the strap ends, rings set into reinforced corners, sliders that hold their setting under load. The hooks rotate, which is the detail that stops webbing setting into a twist over a term of daily use, and the whole set is heavy enough to feel like machinery rather than jewelry.Inside is one arrangement that serves all four carries: a laptop section with two security straps against the back wall, cushioned mesh pockets for cables and a charger, and two zippered pockets on the outside face. Roughly 16 liters in total, in water resistant faux leather that wipes clean with a soft damp cloth.
