Your morning commute is trying enough without having to muscle a huge bag along with you. The Nhill Heist from Crumpler holds everything you need without getting in the way.
What Is It?
A secure laptop pack that fits you like a shadow.
Who’s it For?
Agile commuters, urban ninjas, corporate spooks and NASA employees.
Design
The shoulder straps attach to the outer edge of the bag so that, when you put it on, they fold over the main compartment’s zipper to foil pick-pocketers.
Using It
Put your laptop (up to 17 inches) in the padded sleeve and wear. The bag sits high and tight on your back, allowing you to move through crowds and Parkour around obstacles easily.
The Best Part
There aren’t many pockets, but this thing is like a clown car: it holds a laptop, charger brick, wireless mouse, phone, keys, wallet and change of clothes with barely a bulge.
Tragic Flaw
The fold-over shoulder straps also prevent opening the smaller top pocket — so you’ll need to cram all your easy-access essentials in the tiny side pocket.
This Is Weird…
Did this bag just improve my posture a little? I believe it did.
Test Notes
- Keep forgetting I’m wearing a pack
- Tends to sit far out on the shoulders when full
Should You Buy It?
