Our family is always in need of a great laptop bag. My husband used the same one for years until it finally gave out on him not too long ago, so that is when the hunt began. He is a little picky about the type of bag he prefers to carry, not to mention that it has to have tons of storage pockets and room.
While on that search, I recently stumbled upon the Targus Eco-Friendly laptop bags. This wonderful little sling bag that you see pictured here really jumped out at me. First off, I love that it is eco-friendly. However, I will admit that another reason that this jumped out at me is because my husband sometimes drives his motorcycle to work, so it is important to be able to have a bag that he can wear on his back when needed. The weight and size of the bag as also something that I took into consideration. The Targus Eco-Smart Grove Sling bag only weighs 2.29 pounds, so it doesn’t add alot of additional weight.
Organizational and Protection Features:
My husband was the main reviewer of this bag. I did look it over, but he has been the one to carry this bag for a month back and forth to work. He commented that he loves all the room that this bag offers. This back features a quilted side-access laptop compartment, which is great to help keep the laptop safe. His last bag had that padding in it also, but nowhere near as thick as what the Targus Grove Sling has to offer. It also has a MP3 player pocket with headphone pass-through.
Now for organizational, what doesn’t this bag have would be a great question. The bag helps keep everything organized with a business card holder, pen loops, key hook and several accessory pockets. The large front storage pocket provides quick access to personal items and it even has a mesh water bottle holder as well!
Construction:
The bag is PVC-free and features recyclable plastic accents and nickel-free metal to reduce the amount of toxins released into the environment. Not only that but it is made of durable nylon material. I see this bag holding up for a long, long time!
Comfort:
The Targus Grove Sling weighs only 2.29 pounds and features an adjustable sling style shoulder strap and a padded handle to make it very comfortable for carrying. My husband has even commented several times how comfortable this bag is and how easy it is to just sling over your should and go!
Value:
The Targus Eco-Smart Grove Sling can be purchased at a fantastic price of $64.99 from the Targus website.
