Gear Diary Solid Gray Backpacks Dark Gray Edition Available photo

So okay, one problem with backpacks is that they’re typically soft.  Which is fine–preferable in fact to my mind–when you’re carrying a bunch of stuff that is resistant to squishing, scratching, and abuse.  Textbooks, say.  But nowadays, we’re all carting around laptops and tables, right?  And you don’t necessarily want your laptop (or tablet!) to get that kind of abuse.  Which is why the Solid Gray backpacks exist:

Since the introduction of our white backpack, our on-line community has grown considerably. We have received suggestions, and we have been taking notes!

After vast public demand we have released a new version of our backpack on it’s 1st birthday.

It took us some time to get our taylor-made industrial plastic in a new color, but there it is; the new Solid Gray in Dark Gray! This new edition has an entirely different style and feel.

Specifications

  • Carries tablets and laptops up to 15,6 inch
  • Volume: 15 litres
  • Weight: 1150 gram / 2.535 lbs
  • Exterior dimensions: 50 x 32 x 20 cm (19.7 x 12.6 x 7.9 inch)
  • Material:
    body: polypropene block copolymer
    padding: EPDM
    straps: polypropene
    elastic: natural latex rubber
    rivets: aluminium

(I love that it’s “aluminium” rather than “aluminum”, but that’s because I’m a word geek.)

You can check out all the Solid Gray backpacks on their web site and look them up on Facebook.  The packs go for an MSRP of €139 (€159 for the White-Script model) And if you should end up getting one, be sure to tell us what you think below!

Riding the nerd wave, he got a Computer Science degree and entered the tech industry at a young age, deciding after a year and a half of front-line phone technical support that he should try something, *anything* else. He settled on technical writing, and has been cranking out documentation for companies like Unisys, SGI, Cisco, Juniper, and many others ever since. He is nothing short of ecstatic to be working for H-P from his home base in Austin.
