TroubadourApex Backpack 3.0 - Ergonomic Design for Work and Travel - Stylish Backpack with 5-Year Guarantee

Just received my new Troubadour backpack. The colour and the look of it is beautiful (I got the blue one). It's very comfortable and fits my laptop and other equipment really well. It has lots of inside pockets and and a pocket for carrying a bottle. I have back problems so the padding is great. and I also love how it will slide onto a rolling suitcase when I travel. There is a handy handle at the top so can be carried.It's a top quality bag and is worth the price. It has a 5 year warranty and is made from recycled materials. And most importantly it is waterproof.

The media could not be loaded. Delighted with my bag- main criteria was sustainability (this is from a. Corp company, and bag made of recycled materials) but also wanted a stylish clean look and practical features. And it delivers on all fronts! Fits all my stuff and has lots of little compartments so easy to find and don’t have to rummage round. Very comfy to wear. Good little features like phone pocket in the strap.

There are backpacks, and there are backpacks. This Apex 3.0 is definitely one of a different kind. Fed up with my old baggy rucksack, it was time to get a replacement and man was I in for a treat! A case of love at first sight. This Troubadour model is so stylish (I chose navy blue) that it wouldn't be out of place if you took it somewhere posh for dinner after work with your laptop snuggly fitting into the inner compartment. There are enough pockets for pens and purses (but crucially also not too many) and it's so light (1kg) and comfortable to carry, with padded straps. It makes me happy knowing it's been made from recycled plastic bottles. It's completely waterproof and comes with a five year guarantee. Love it and can't wait to take it away on its first overnight trip!

Received my Troubadour Apex promptly and am impressed with the appearance and utility. I have used Wenger packs for the last 15 years or so, which have generally served me well. However, as the last one reached the end of its life I was looking for an alternative that offered more style and was also more sustainable/well-founded ethically. A friend recommended Troubadour so I checked them out. I like the fact the company has B-corp status and appreciate the five-year guarantee. The pack is stylish and has many well-considered touches: I love the closing zip covers, which will keep moisture and dirt out and the water bottle gusset compartments. They are expandable and so don’t spoil the lines of the pack and are formed from the same fabric as the main body so don’t appear as ‘add-ons’. My last pack had no bottle pouches, so these are great. The design-aesthetic is impressive and the pack is comfortable to wear. The inside compartments are well-designed and numerous. Yes, this bag is more expensive but it is an altogether more stylish and pleasing object to own. The guarantee offered and the neat brand touches add to the feeling of care and attention that really appeals to me as a consumer. I am very pleased with the purchase and am glad I switched away from the larger more established brand I had been using until now. I expect this pack to last and so have every confidence that the extra outlay initially will pay dividends both financially and in terms of removing the need to buy another bag in 2-3 years’ time. Highly recommended.

The padding against one's back is also up to the required standard. The design flaws that I encountered are the following: a)the mobile phone pocket within the shoulder strap is unusable: once the item is placed on one's back the pocket (and the phone in it) ends up pressed tight high above one's shoulder, which means one needs to take the back pack off in order to be able to unzip the pocket. If the pocket gets moved further down the strap, this could well rectify that flaw. b)it should be possible to place safely a back pack on the ground, so the item merits a leather(-ish) cover on the bottom, similar to the one on the top, especially given Troubadour's price tag.

This bag is strong and is amazing quality. It is also ideal for travelling as it's the perfect size for airplanes. It is versatile because of the luggage sleeve, efficient for attaching to a suitcase.The inside compartments are very handy for all your items as well as the shoulder-strap compartment for easy access.It is also very comfortable to wear because of the padding on the straps, and it is waterproof which is amazing.Definitely recommend.

This rucksack looks great and is smart enough to use for work. Ample pockets/ compartments. Very comfortable padded straps. Obviously high quality and worth every penny.I got it in green. I’m expecting lots of queries regarding where it came from.

I just purchased this in green, and am loving it. Super convenient bag, with lots of helpful compartments to organise my things.Love the fact that it’s waterproof.One thing I didn’t notice at first that I find particularly helpful is the zip-up pocket on the shoulder strap, which I use to keep my phone and keys. Would 100% recommend the bag as it’s a perfect size for work and also for travel. Some people might recommend the larger size, but I find the compact is definitely big enough.
