The District 24 feels uncomfortable to carry because its teardrop shape makes the load saggy and bottom-heavy, beyond the load lifters’ correction. With its gussets engaged, the District 24 stands independently despite its curved teardrop shape, which helps during packing or travel. The laptop sleeve combines a false bottom with a fairly rigid frame sheet, providing structural support intended to absorb impacts.
Two wide, deep liner pockets in the front section accommodate a Kindle and an iPhone 13 Pro Max comfortably. The zipper pulls combine metal and nylon, making them easier to grasp, particularly when the reviewer is wearing thick gloves.
Reported strengths
- The District 24 offers either an accordion-style opening or a traditional clamshell configuration, depending on whether the gussets remain engaged.
- A full-length side zipper opens the deep front compartment completely, improving access and allowing bulky items to be stored more easily.
- With its gussets engaged, the District 24 stands independently despite its curved teardrop shape, which helps during packing or travel.
Reported trade-offs
- The bottle pockets lack sufficient grip, so the reviewer’s slender 18-ounce Hydro Flask sits loosely and may fall out when tilted.
- The District 24 feels uncomfortable to carry because its teardrop shape makes the load saggy and bottom-heavy, beyond the load lifters’ correction.
- The two smaller liner pockets are narrow and deep, making small items such as an Apple AirTag difficult to retrieve.
