Everybody needs a good everyday carry bag, right? I have several, in different forms. I have a backpack that I sling over my shoulder when I want to use a backpack, usually when traveling. I also have a briefcase (the Leacarve leather briefcase I reviewed back in 2018) that I use when I am heading to the office or a meeting, which I have used for almost 5 years now. That is, until the xBriefcase from xSuit showed up. Let’s check it out! What is it? The xSuit xBriefcase is a briefcase made out of ballistic nylon. What’s in the box? • xSuit xBriefcase • A cloth drawstring bag for storage Specifications • Dimensions: 12.0” x 16.0” x 3.5” • Weight: 2.5 lbs • Laptop Sleeve: 12.0” x 16.0” x 3.5” • Fits laptops up to 16” • Detachable padded shoulder strap • Padded magnetic removable laptop sleeve • Removable snap key ring • Luggage tag with contact card and concealed AirTag pocket (AirTag sold separately) • Dust bag included for storing • Exterior: - Zip entry to main compartment - Front U-zip pocket - Back zip pocket - Bio-leather top carry handle • Interior: - Inner zip pocket - 9 Compartmented front pockets - 4 Compartmented inner pockets - 1 hidden back zip pocket - Concealed luggage zip sleeve Design and features The first thing you’ll notice is what the bag is made out of. It’s called ballistic nylon, and it’s really sturdy stuff. It’s scratch resistant, water resistant, and inside the walls of the bag are industrial grade hard shell panels and high-density foam padding. This bag honestly feels like it will last a very long time. You’ll find ergonomic handles on the top of the bag. The hard shell panels inside the bag keep the bottom and sides nice and firm, and the metal feet on the bottom helps to easily keep the bag standing upright when you set it down. It comes with a detachable, adjustable, padded shoulder strap, which is comfortable on your shoulder. Every zippered compartment has silver, metal pulls that are round and smooth and easy to use. On one end of the bag where the strap attaches, you’ll find the round, leather luggage tag with contact card, and also a hidden pocket where you can put an Airtag, if you have one. That’s pocket #1 of the 19 pockets that xSuit says are in the xBriefcase. So let’s go count the rest!
