For tall people with long back there in 2015 still relatively few models on the market. Quick one lands at Tour backpacks, they are handy, work in the city but rather out of place. A long, slim-fitting (elegant) backpack for the city where the laptop fits, but which can be used also for walking: there is such a thing?
A first clue is the backpack length ago: various models of Jack Wolfskin, Vaude, Eastpak, Mammut, The North Face and even of High Sierra (from the US) are already over 50cm long, but often sit still right at the back or standing from back. Only an oversized backpack Photo of Jack Wolfskin was able to inspire so, but relatively expensive and overloaded with foam, which corresponds to its purpose as a photo backpack. This Deuter is 70cm long, however, but looks not so great, because it is relatively narrow cut, nor projecting disadvantageous backwards.
I use this Deuter Trail 38 EL mainly in the city and transported in my 14.1 "laptop that is in the bag for the water bladder. This has worked out great and leaves no wish to eg more cushioning for the laptop open. The backpack was indeed primarily produced for a different purpose, but can be just divert for urban use and performed there due to its slim design his job elegant and useful to carry in your hand there is a stable hand strap -. the have not even many laptop backpacks.
For storage size of pocket should also be mentioned that this is directed inward and thus when fully loaded, of course, competes with the interior of the backpack. The elastic slip pocket for drinking vessels on the opposite side is nice and big and so dimensioned correctly. There many other backpacks and laptop bags ofter only smaller pockets, in which a screen or a small 0.5l bottle fits.
It's certainly not normal to judge this backpack on its suitability city and I can even connect the description of the structure of the bag from the previous review, where the true purpose is described in the grounds. Nevertheless, I think it is worth mentioning that as a backpack just is good also for urban use and is able to compete with laptop backpacks. And in our big man with long back there is not as much choice anyway, so that my choice has fallen on these interpreter and I would buy it to me at any time. 5/5 stars from me alone already for the feel (even when compared to the available alternatives).
