Appletell Reviews the Western Flyer

"So, what do you get for the basic price? You get a fantastic laptop bag. The Western Flyer is built from 1050 Ballistic nylon and is lined with Dyneema/nylon ripstop; YKK #10 Aquaguard zippers. Those terms may nothing to people like us, so I’ll sum it all up with the word “solid.“ Is there even stitching on this bag? Because I can’t see it. The stitches and seams are hidden from view, and therefore protected from snags.

The front of the bag sports two zippered compartments that are nearly ten inches wide and up to eight inches deep. The higher compartment features a lanyard to which you can attach your keys, but I used it to attach my USB flash drive. There’s also a pocket compartment that’s perfectly sized for storing a bottle of water, although I imagine most would use it for holding documents, pamphlets, airline tickets and such.

The compartment on the back is the size of the whole bag, but it actually already serves a more important function; the straps for the built-in backpack are stored here. The Western Flyer has basic nylon handles on the top and on both edges, so it’s already easy to cary pretty much any way you want. But for longer periods, you can pull out these straps and wear it like a backpack. When not in use, the backpack straps stay neatly tucked away…you’d never even know they’re there. Even the bottom latches to which you fasten the backpack straps are permanently hidden from view."
