The IT Nerd

Chances are that this backpack from Targus is going to my wife after this review. I’ll explain why in a minute. But the backpack in question is the Voyager EXP backpack which is intended for someone who needs to carry their tech as well as a change of clothes. Here’s a look at the backpack:

It’s basic black so it will not attract any unwanted attention. If you look at handle at the bottom, it has some reflective elements on it.

On the side, there’s an expandable pocket for a water bottle.

On the back, there’s a pair of shoulder straps that are well padded and a strap to slide the backpack through. The back is ventilated and padded.

On one of the shoulder straps there’s a hidden pocket for your ID.

Back to the front. There’s a pocket with a strap for your keys.

There’s a bigger pocket with an RFID protection pocket which protects your passport or credit cards from any nefarious activity. There’s also a hidden pocket for an AirTag which is a welcome addition.

There’s another pocket on the top for your sunglasses. I would make sure that the sunglasses are in a case though.

This compartment allows you to fit a change of clothes along with some toiletries in the mesh section.

You can put up to a 17″ laptop into the upper pocket which is suspended off the ground to protect the laptop. Other bits and bobbles can got in the lower pocket. As you can see, it is designed to fold flat so that you can keep your laptop in the pocket at airport security. I should note that a TSA compliant lock can be used to keep this section locked.

Now let’s get to the part about why this backpack is going to my wife. When she goes into the office, she tends to take her work laptop along with gym clothes for an after work workout. The second that she saw this backpack she wanted it as it fits her use case better than the backpack that she was using. So it’s her’s if she wants it. The Targus Voyager EXP is $120 CAD directly from Targus. If you need a backpack for your tech and is also good for a day or two of travel, or to carry a change of clothes for whatever reason, this is a backpack that you should seriously look at.
