Plus if you’ve been considering switching up you current work tote bag for a backpack, this one has rave reviews from shoppers of helping relieve back strain and tension.
One happy shopper wrote: “The main advantage I have noticed with this backpack is the extra structuring. It sits better on my shoulders and thus reduces back strain. I enjoy packing it for the day ahead.”
A second added: “Beautifully made, light, loads of space and so easy to carry. The weight distribution takes away any aches and pains to May get carrying heavy stuff on one shoulder. Really happy with my purchase”. And a third said: Best backpack I’ve ever had! Stylish and convenient. The main compartment is so versatile for a weekend away or going to work. I had several bags but nothing like Antler!”
The main criticism came from a shopper who wrote: “I only put 4 stars because, for that price, it could really do with an anti-theft pocket on the back for passport and phone. Otherwise very happy with it.”
