The Balance™ EcoSmart® Checkpoint-Friendly 15.6" Backpack has advanced ergonomic design for maximum comfort, with adjustable features that help distribute load evenly and helps to reduce fatigue from long-term wear. Its PVC-free fabric is woven from recycled water bottles, its hardware is nickel-free, and its zipper pulls are recyclable. The Balance backpack boasts enhanced protective elements like the SafePort® Sling Plus, which suspends your laptop inside the pack to help protect it from drops, plus padding on both the side and front of the device for additional protection. Weather-resistant materials also fare well against the elements to help keep your devices, paperwork, and business cards safe. This pack’s purposeful design helps you commute from office to home with ease. Strategically placed pockets organize your accessories in the workstation and a large compartment at the bottom of bag is the perfect place to store your power brick. And for busy commutes on the train or a squeeze through a narrow aisle we’ve put a handle on the side so the pack will easily fit into tight spaces.
