The trouble with carrying a backpack while traveling is that it often makes you look like a backpacker, with locals viewing you as one step up from a vagrant. The Solo Executive Leather Backpack is a stylish choice to use on the road for carrying your laptop and a day’s worth of stuff without looking out of place in a posh hotel lobby, restaurant or office. The exterior body is made from durable leather, and the straps are quite solid. Sturdy and stylish, with a good set of accessible, organized pouches. When fully packed, it becomes kind of boxy and unwieldy, and its clean “executive” look precludes its flexibility for use as an adventure pack.
