Bag Week: Booq Boa Squeeze
Short version: Like lots of pockets in a laptop backpack? I count 27 on the Booq Boa Squeeze and wouldn’t be surprised if there are some hiding.
Info:
- Water resistant
- Holds up to a 15-inch notebook
- Has at least 27 pockets
- Terralinq serial number
- $99 MSRP
Pros
- Crapton of pockets
- Comfortable to wear
- Feels durable
Cons
- The small, rounded bag looks funny on this guy
That’s fine with me though. The small bag is perfect for a netbook, ultra-portable, or 15-inch Mac. The main flap unzips in a somewhat strange manner, but it allows full access to the computer compartment and reveals even more pockets on the backside of the flap.
The bag is attractive. Its outside shell is made out of black, water-repellent ballistic nylon, while the inside is lined with a soft, fleece-like material. Needless to say your gear is probably safe in this bag. But if you happen to lose it, Booq has you covered there too.
The only thing I don’t dig about the bag is how it looks on me. I’m not a big guy, but I think the small bag looks somewhat funny on my back. It’s almost too small. Maybe I’m just vain.
I can find no real fault in this bag besides my little fashion thing. It’s solid, can hold a surprising amount of crap, and only costs $99. Recommended.
