New Bag/Case Required

[MatthewL]

I'm after a new laptop bag/general bag for work. I'm after something like this, but hard wearing and 2 sections in the laptop bit, one for laptop and other for papers.

 

I'm after a pilot case style but shoulder ideally, don't really carry many tools, more paper work relating to the job but don't want anything on wheels, too heavy/bulky.

 

I'm a bit of a loss at the moment if anyone can help. Thanks.

I love my Swiss Gear/Wenger bags. I'm really hard on most bags, but these ones keep staying like new for over 6 years of daily use. I prefer the rucksack style ones, but they do breifcase style ones too https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wenger-600655-Triple-Gusset-Airport-friendly/dp/B002VJJS60/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1505823703&sr=8-1&keywords=swissgear+laptop+bag

I agree with this. At the moment I have 2 bags.

 

One goes into the school with me and (I think) was issued to IBM staffers. Had it years, and it's only recently that I've started to think I need to look at replacements - though it's still looking pretty good. Looks like this

 

 

and is highly recommended if you can track one down.

 

Other is for "may be useful" tools and tends to live in the boot until needed/I get home. 4 years old and I noticed the first bit of wear a couple of weeks back. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Magma-MA2632-Technicians-Tool-Case/dp/B004Y57BRC also slimmer https://www.amazon.co.uk/C-K-Magma-Technicians-Tool-Case/dp/B004Y57B72 but probably too bulky for you. Recommended for people who have the need, though.

 

Was toying with replacing the IBM with a

 

+ combo

 

and wandering the corridors muttering that "I have the football" but will probably be sensible and try something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Handmadecraft-Vintage-Handmade-Messenger-Briefcase-Brown/dp/B01DA2IDNK - though no idea how sturdy it will be.
