    Grid Backpack: A must buy

    Simply the best backpack ever!!!
    I wanted a backpack which can be used for daily commute but also for quick weekend trips. It had to be durable enough for my laptop, but also waterproof with good space compartment.
    Something I thought was simply impossible is not, and grid backpack is a clear-cut proof.
    Its laptop compartment is extremely sturdy, and the rest of the bag is spacious enough that you can put a lot of items, but the hero item of grid backpack is its chain, simply the best ever.
    I really like the hooks that gives you freedom to tie some extra items, and its bottle holder is deep enough.
    Definitely recommended!!

    Ekster Grid Backpack saves Jamaica vacation

    Our family is now in Jamaica enjoying a once in a lifetime holiday. We have never had our luggage lost in transit before but were a little nervous, afraid that we would end up in Jamaica without a swimsuit or change of clothes so we bought the Ekster Grid Backpack and a TravelPack Vacuum Kit and each of us packed a swimsuit and change of clothes in the Ekster. On our flights from Western Canada we had several flight delays and sure enough when we arrived in Jamaica - No Luggage! But what we had packed held us over for a couple of days until the airline found our luggage and delivered it to us. Thank you Ekster! It is amazing how much you can pack in the backpack with the vacuum kit.
