STM Drifter Backpack – Review

Being a parent even of older children, inevitably when you go on a day out you need to take lots of stuff like waterproofs and drinks and even a picnic, but finding a comfortable and also stylish bag can be hard.

I was recently sent the STM Drifter backpack to review and although technically this is classed as a laptop bag due to a padded compartment able to hold a 15″ laptop I actually found the backpack to be a very useful size to hold the essential items of a day out.

What I really like about this bag is its many compartments on the outside, you get 3 different good-sized zipped pockets and 2 side pockets, one is zipped and the other is for a drinks bottle.

Inside the main compartment of the bag, there’s plenty of room to house a laptop, tablet and additional things like clothing, books or a picnic.

I found the bag actually quite comfortable to wear, the shoulder straps are padded for extra comfort and you have a chest strap to make the bag even more comfortable if wearing for long periods of time.

On the back of the STM Drifter backpack is a 3D foam mesh back panel with air-flow channel to allow even more comfort on the hotter days.

The backpack even comes with its own detachable raincover, which is especially handy if you’re carrying electricals and get caught in the rain.
