The reviewer finds the Shieldon backpack comfortable to carry, but its thinner, less-stiff back panel feels cheaper than pricier comparison backpacks. The reviewer highlights a clear plastic toiletries pocket designed to contain spills instead of allowing liquids into the main compartment. The laptop area includes a padded sleeve for laptops up to 17 inches and a separate roomy sleeve accommodating an 11-inch iPad Pro.
The full-length front organizer stores pens, water bottles, smaller accessories, external drives, charging cables, and even a full-sized desktop keyboard. The reviewer describes padded mesh back and shoulder straps plus an adjustable sternum strap intended to reduce load pressure when the backpack is full.
