Have you ever slid a laptop into a laptop compartment, only to be worried about the complete lack of padding on the bottom? It is a common oversight with bags. The STM bag has accounted for this with a floating pocket, so if your bag drops, there is space between your precious cargo inside the pocket and the hard, cold ground. The Drifter is spacious. It can house one 13″-16″ laptop in the padded laptop compartment. The rest of the bag has countless compartments and pockets, even a transparent one for, as they put it, “doo-dads” that normally get lost in the vacuum of tech bags. There is a soft-lined space just for sunglasses or a phone. It has a slip tablet pocket with cord and battery storage. And it is made so that it can be soundly carried on top of your wheeled luggage through the airport.
