   Dehydrated? Sip better from the best smart water bottles One small drawback to this bag is the water bottle pouch on the side. Like most bags, the pouch is too shallow and so I worried about my water bottle easily popping out when I bent over. Since I use a Hidrate smart water bottle that's not cheap and has electronics in it, I still kept the water bottle in the large middle pouch when I was traveling. But the biggest drawback to this bag is actually a more practical one. Its straps are some of the least comfortable I've ever come across -- and far less comfortable than the well-cushioned straps on the Targus Cypress Hero. The HyperPack Pro's straps were so uncomfortable after extended wear that I bought these $16 strap pads on Amazon. That made it much more pleasant to carry around, but that's a serious bummer for a $200 backpack. That said, you're not going to find any other bag with as many smart, high-tech, security-conscious, Apple-centric features. So a lo...

  The designers of the HyperPack Pro thought of plenty of features I didn't realize I needed -- like the suspended laptop pouch to cushion against drops to the interlocking zippers to keep people from clandestinely rummaging through my bag from behind to the hidden lumbar pocket. I was super impressed with the security and safety features and the durability of the bag.  The other most practical feature was the pass-through power cable design . When you pair it with a high-powered battery pack like Hyper's own HyperJuice 245W Battery Pack with four USB-C ports then you can rapidly charge a MacBook Pro, an iPad, an iPhone, and an AirPods case, for example.  That brings us to the fact that this backpack is clearly aimed primarily at Apple users, evidenced by the built-in Apple Find My tracker and the dedicated MagSafe pouch (charging cable not included). I wouldn't recommend this bag to Android users since you can't take advantage of its flagship feature.
