What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The laptop-size claims conflict: one feature states a 16-inch MacBook, while manufacturer details say 15.6-inch PC or 15-inch MacBook. Confirm fit for your device. The title mentions a side zipper, and manufacturer content describes laptop side entry, while a separate feature mentions a top pocket for small items. The title calls the materials recycled, whereas a material field specifies polyester and other fields specify nylon for the outer material and lining. The listed dimensions are also presented differently in product details and manufacturer specifications. Water resistance is stated for the front panel and base, not as whole-bag waterproofing. Check the selected colour if shade matters, as customer feedback reports differing colour opinions.

What materials are used?
