Handily, the zip on this goes at least three quarters of the way down the side of the Cobra, so it opens wide. Further internal pockets for A4 notepad and bigger devices, perhaps external hard drive, PSU or even lunchboxes. Useful when on the go but gear may fall out. Additional easy access pockets within suitable for purse, wallet, mobile phone, MP3 player or tablet.

Zipped pocket with Booq’s corporate copper-coloured inner, suitable for an A5 size notepad or tablet.

Opening it up, the Cobra has plenty of room inside, with five main compartments for gear. As you’ll see from the pictures, the YKK zips are mostly on show in bright steel, though the main laptop compartment has a covered waterproof zip. Designed for laptops with screens up to 16″, it’s made with ballistic nylon complimented by lower leather trim, meaning it looks good but is durable too. Unlike some of the other Booq bags that I’ve reviewed here for GNC, it’s in the more traditional style for those circumstances where a rucksack looks a little bit too casual. On review here is the Booq Cobra Laptop Briefcase, a lightweight and high-spec laptop bag.
