Hands On: Mobile Edge Eco Backpack
Posted in: hands-on, Today's Chili
Mobile Edge has released a new collection of “green” backpacks, replacing the standard nylon exterior with a cotton canvas fabric. In addition, the new Eco Backpacks line sports a rectangular patch of what looks like a swatch of AstroTurf that I could have done without. Faux grass aside the Mobile Edge Eco Backpack will provide you with a wonderful carrying experience with a plain look.
The Eco Backpack is certainly one of the plainer back-to-school bags I’ve looked at. With not much in the way of pocket features, this bag’s main attraction is in its green canvas material (also available in black). Measuring 15.5 by 6 by 22 inches (WHD) and weighing 2.34 pounds, this bag about the same size as the Mobile Edge Women’s Express Backpack (also reviewed) but is lighter.
Outer pouches include only two mesh side pockets and one cavernous pocket on the top of the bag. In my experience, I’ve always viewed the top pocket to be that quick stow-away place for keys, wallet, or even a cell phone, so why they made it so deep that you have to fish for your stuff seems counter-intuitive.
