Q & A
Is the Metrolite Backpack-XF weather proof or water repellant?
Brenthaven cases are not waterproof. While we use materials that are water repellant, we do not recommend carrying your case in the rain if at all possible. We do, however, have several cases that feature a hidden rain-fly that can be pulled out when you find yourself near water! If a water-proof case is important, we highly recommend our ProStyle SlimPack backpacks or our Trek Switch MB flap.

This is the bag you want
The Metrolite BP-XF actually fits the 15.4 inch Macbook Pro. (Little snug, but well worth it). For airport travel domestic and overseas, this is the bag you want. Enough room for a MBP, and a Kindel, with room for all the other junk you need to have when you travel, this also fits nicely under the seat or in the overhead with no fuss. The upright means you can get into it easily when it is between your legs in a Cramped Coach seat on a Regional Jet. (Which is what I liked). All in all, probably one of the best Travel Tools I have had in a LONG time.
Excellent Bag
I normally don't take time to write reviews about any of my purchases, but this bag is so great that I wanted to post a 5 star review. Pockets for everything I carry. Durable, yet compact and lightweight. I've been through 4 airports since I bought it, and being able to unzip it for the xray machine has saved a lot of time and hassle. You won't regret buying this bag
I should have bought two!
Hands down, this is the best slim backPack for any Macbook. I should have bought 2.
Computer Protection is Rock Solid
The Brenthaven Metrolite BP-XF (Black/Gray) is by far the best designed Backpack on the market based on my research. The computer protection is rock solid and no additional computer sleeve is needed. The compartments are well thought out and zips function very smoothly. It is easy to carry on the back and the xray friendly features take the chore out of going through security.On the negative side, space is a bit limited if one likes to stuff a lot of reading materials. An expansion slot, for heavy load days, would have been a good additional feature. Overall very happy to own this product which combines features, laptop protection, looks and value for money very well.
Two Thumbs- Way Up
I give Brenthaven two thumbs up -- way up, for there outstanding products. I purchased a Brenthaven backpack bag for my 17" Powerbook Pro laptop about 7 years ago. Since then I have literally taken it around the world into some very unforgiving environments--all the way constantly using it. Except for a smashed zipper handle (which happened in the Australian outback), the bag is in virtually perfect condition.
In a world where products seem to be made with less and less quality, it is exceptionally refreshing to experience something that truly lasts. Thanks Brenthaven for an absolutely outstanding bag.
I am extremely Pleased With This Product
I am extremely pleased with this product. Brenthaven designed a bag that is comfortable, with great function, style and durability. I use this bag daily lugging my laptop and business material, walking the city all day I don't feel the weight of the cargo it's properly balanced with good padding on the back and thick shoulder straps.
The design is well thought out, nothing hangs from the bag that can snag, the zippers are large and easy to use. The amount and size of the pockets are accurate for day use and airline carry-on. Going through airport security is a breeze. I can easily take the bag off in a crowd and unzip to lay flat in the storage bucket; I don't take my laptop out of bag. On the backside there is kangaroo pocket to store the shoulder straps, which again makes it easy to carry in large crowds without out the worry of snagging.
I receive compliments from colleagues and fashion conscious friends for same reasons. The bag does its job without attracting attention to itself. Even though I use it daily in all weather the bag looks good and functions as the day I got it.
I am reassured that Brenthaven offers a lifetime warranty and is dedicated to creating a zero impact product.
STILL LOOKS NEW
"Years of abuse and weather. This Brenthaven MetroLite Backpack has outlasted three MacBooks. Great for motorcyclists year round. Still looks new and never fails."
IT IS EVERYTHING I NEEDED
"In a country where people only write when they have something negative to say, I just wanted to express my extreme satisfaction in my Metrolite BP-XF. I think it is just great. I purchased it online because it was priced well. Just got it and given the price I was not expecting much. It is everything I needed. I was happy to realize that Brenthaven takes responsibility to the environment so serious as well. Thanks for helping a Dad look cool while he carries his office."
