My New Backpack – Beis Sport Backpack in Black!

I’ve been using my Lululemon backpack since 2019, and it’s been going great, and I felt that I should have a back-up backpack. My Beis sport backpack arrived just in time since one of my pups knocked over a bunch of liquid and got all over my backpack, and I needed to go to the office next morning. 

Why Beis?

One of my coworkers mentioned Beis years ago, and I looked it up and it seemed very travel bag oriented. I wasn’t doing much travel back then, so I shrugged it off. Then during a recent Vegas trip, a couple friends had some items from Beis, which influenced me to revisit Beis’s website.

My friends seemed to be happy with their products, and I saw some items from the site that seemed great and that I’d need for my upcoming Japan trip. I decided to try one of the carry-on luggage since I needed one of those, as well as their sport backpack. Unfortunately their travel carry-on luggage isn’t within the guidelines re size, so I ordered a different one from a different brand. Anyways, let’s get into the Beis sport backpack!

I ordered the sport backpack in black, shown in the header photo (excuse my poor lighting). Much better screen capture from Beis’s website here so you can get an idea of the size.
It also comes in beige! Their colors may sell out from time to time. When I was ordering, I think the black was available, but the beige wasn’t. Spoiler alert: I later also ordered the sport duffel, which beige was available, but black wasn’t.

The Feel / First Impressions

Wow, it looks pretty big, bigger than I thought! It’s a bit wide, but it fits to my needs. There is a compartment inside for my laptop, which is perfect. There are also smaller compartments in there as well, perhaps for more water bottles, unbrella, anything you can fit into those pockets. Side water bottle areas are so convenient as I can fit more in there than my Lululemon backpack. The quality seems OK, but sometimes I do overload it and worry that it’ll break. It hasn’t yet (for the past several weeks), so I hope it stays that way!

The fit is a bit large for my body frame. I feel the straps can fall off my shoulders unless I fill up the backpack. No issues there since I usually have my laptop, water bottle, and change of clothing/shoes in there.

It doesn’t scream luxurious or anything based on how the material really feel, but I love how functional it is overall.

Japan Tour and Exploration Backpack?

Perhaps! It can fit quite a bit, such as a jacket, beverages, essentials, and some stuff we may buy here and there. It is comfortable when full-ish or weighted down so it doesn’t fall off my shoulders. 

More Beis

I’ve also ordered the work tote, sport duffle, and some other smaller things. My daughter recently showed me a crossbody Beis bag she was interested in – the same bag my friends have! I told one of them and we figured she most likely saw it on TikTok… of course… OF COURSE LOL.
