Backpacks, trolleys, notebook bags and all similar personal carry items seem to be stuck in a rut where lots of companies are all making the same sub-standard products that you need to keep buying again and again as they eventually break either from simple use or by not being able to carry as much as they claim.
The entire industry also seems blindly unaware of modern requirements for the transport of electronics which are not only vitally important for everyday life, but also come with huge price tags that warrant extra protection that simply isn’t offered.
Everyone can share the experience of going on a trip, asking family if they have any bags they can borrow, and being met with old items that seem to have no design thought put into them, barely held together with tape and dreams.
Thankfully there is a company that, from its very beginning, was created to solve these issues to create every kind of bag you could want, focused on modern needs, and designed to last.
That company is EVERKI and we’ve discussed them many times in the past but, for those new to the brand, the introduction was needed.
EVERKI was born in 2005 after its founders spent countless days travelling for work and unable to find bags that do what you demand and look good doing it.
EVERKI is available in South Africa right now and its products come with something that other brands simply can’t match: a limited lifetime warranty for original owners, guaranteeing quality craftsmanship and reliable materials.
Two shining stars in the EVERKI family of products are the Atlas Laptop Backpack pictured above, and the Journey Laptop Trolley pictured below.
These two are different on the surface but both offer superior construction, functionality, comfort and security for travel, business, school and absolutely anything else.
Both feature exteriors that are highly resistant to the harsh life of constant movement and both have interiors lined with a soft, dedicated space for your notebook, tablet or other large electronics. These interiors are also designed with dedicated compartments for easier organisation, and high contrast colours that make finding that small item easy, even in low light conditions.
Both also have small quality of life additions that you’d think would be commonplace, like dedicated spots for a water bottle. Despite the popularity of carrying water with you at all times, aiming for a healthier lifestyle, you’d be shocked by the number of manufacturers who still sell bags with outdated designs and nowhere to put a bottle.
While the Atlas is at home as an every day carry for your other every day carries, the Journey is more suited as the perfect travel companion for professionals on the go. Grab both for almost everything you need for trips or for local runabouts that need you to carry some extra hardware, or switch them up, the choice is yours.
Check back here soon for more in-depth coverage of both the Atlas and Journey, or shop the entire range right now in South Africa from the comfort of home, with the EVERKI family available for sale from both Wootware and Loot.
