  • Great design - lightweight, stylish, and functional!
Color: Navy
I’ve been using the Apex Backpack, and it’s fantastic. The design is understated and professional while also very functional, so it's been great for my work and travel. My MacBook Pro slides easily into the padded laptop compartment, and there’s still plenty of room for pretty much everything else I need on a short trip. The waterproof fabric feels durable, and I like that it's made from recycled materials. The shoulder straps and breathable back panel make it comfortable to wear even after a long day. I’m 5’ 3” and it fits me well. It’s both stylish (I have the Airforce blue color - nice to have a non-black bag!) and practical and I recommend it. ... show more

  • Great backpack, especially for going out with kids
Color: Black
I liked the pioneer backpack so much I bought this one for my wife. It’s smaller than then pioneer and we use it for outings with the kids. All the compartments and two water bottle holders make it great for packing snacks, a change of clothes for them, wet wipes, and everything else we need for when out all day or on a hike. And it’s incredibly sturdy—these backpacks are built incredibly well. ... show more

  • Tech vagabond. Purchased this pack for minimal remote commuting and travel. Love it.
Color: Black
As a remote worker, I am a huge fan of backpacks that let me travel or commute light. If you understand this, you understand this! This backpack is my new favorite for both. It's thoughtfully designed for a tech vagabond like me who wants to be able to pack up his work setup and carry it all comfortably in a small form-factor pack. The laptop compartment is intelligently tucked into the back of the bag behind the shoulder straps. The material is durable and has a premium feel, while remaining light weight. A multitude of little hidden pockets fit my phone, snacks, airpods, charging cord - without adding bulk. Very comfortable shoulder straps. Definitely taking this pack on my next surf trip. I love it. Highly recommended. ... show more

  • Good backpack but could be really good
Color: Navy
I bought this backpack for work wanting to downsize from a 35 liter pack that I had been using for over a year. I ordered this pack for the looks/size and have been somewhat pleased in the 5+ months I’ve used it daily. Pros - looks good and I get lots of compliments. It keeps its shape and has some nice features for being small smaller pack. It rides well on my travel suitcase and the storage organization in the main compartment is good. Cons - having a second zipper on the laptop compartment was completely overlooked when this thing was designed. Honestly, this is the only thing keeping it from 5 stars but having the 1 zipper can sometimes lead to an awkwardness of opening it up or closing it when the pack is nearly full. The color also seems to be fading over time and it’s not as “blue” as it was when it was brand new. All in all if you’re looking for a professional looking backpack and willing to spend $200+ this is a good option for a daily commute. ... show more

  • take it from someone who never spends money on himself - this bag is worth it!
Color: Black
I'm a educator/business professional and have always used backpacks for my daily packing needs - journal, portfolio, laptop, chargers, etc. Although I make a decent living, I'm a pretty frugal person, so a backpack like this is not something I ever would have purchased in the past - $50-100 is the most I ever would have spent (only once did I spend more than $50). I decided, however, to step out of my comfort zone and buy a truly professional, well-made, hopefully-long-lasting backpack this time. I researched and viewed many backpacks, but always came back to the Troubadour Apex 3.0. Something about it caught my eye the first time I saw it/read about it and nothing else quite ever matched up to it as I continued to research - so I went out on a limb and bought it. I haven't had it long as of this review, but I can say unequivocally that I am 100% happy with my purchase. I fits every need I have in a work/professional backpack in regards to what I need to carry on a daily basis - plus it looks beautiful and seems to be made extremely well. I have looked at Troubadour's lineup of bags and wish I could afford to buy a bunch more - but I'm a cheapo, so idk, haha. Praying to continue loving this for years to come! ... show more

  • Stylish, comfortable, and tons of space!
Color: Black
I have been lugging around my laptop, work gear, and odds & ends in a clunky, shapeless shoulder bag for years. I finally decided I deserved an upgrade and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the Apex 3.0. This bag has a surprisingly large capacity, yet is sleek and comfortable. It is made of super high quality materials that have kept their shape and color despite me using this day in, day out. My kids spilled a smoothie on the outside and it wiped right off, and the bag still looks great. I love the phone pocket on the shoulder strap, and can stash away my small stuff (watch, cash, AirPods) in any of the small secure internal pockets. I would absolutely buy this again (although I don’t think I’ll need to since it seems to last forever…). Get yourself an Apex 3.0! You won’t be disappointed. ... show more

  • This is not what you think it is.
Color: Black
The media could not be loaded. It’s an overpriced large container shaped like a backpack, but is far from winning a design award for being so ingeniously practical. It has ZERO zipper-less slots that tightly snuggly cradle your $5K laptop. It's just a large interior cavernous space that greatly lacks design functionality. The outside of the bag looks very nice and has lots of thoughtful touches, but I bought this to travel with sensitive tech gear that needs to be secured. This bag won’t do that. 😢 I was really looking forward to this being an awesome laptop backpack. It turned out to be a fancy container with straps. ... show more
