Backpack
Nylon
3.42 lbs.

Rugged and stylish, the Beacon is designed for comfort even with heavy loads and harsh conditions. An ultra-soft, padded laptop compartment deftly protects and carries up to 18” laptops while still leaving enough room in the main compartment for a gaming console and accessories. Comfort and balance are maintained, even under heavy loads, thanks to the Beacon’s 5-point balance strap system and aero-flow padded back and shoulder harness.

The spacious main storage compartment features a large zippered pocket, dividers, and an assortment of multifunction accessory slots. A clever buckle system allows the compartment to open halfway for quick access or a full 180 degrees for easy loading. Gamers will appreciate the inclusion of a dedicated sleeve for taking a gaming console (XBox 360, PS3, or Wii) on the road.

Dual hip pockets provide extra storage and quick access to important items like keys, mobile phone, or a media player without taking the bag off. A zippered outer pocket and a quick-stash slot provide additional easy-access storage.

To keep your valuable contents protected in all weather conditions, the Beacon has an integrated stow-away water-resistant weather cover for use in sand, snow, rain, or dust.

Water-Resistant Weather Cover The Beacon’s bottom pocket contains a water-resistant weather cover that stretches to neatly slip over the entire exposed surface of the bag and protect your documents and equipment against rain, snow, dust, or spilled drinks. The nylon covering easily detaches to allow for convenient cleaning and drying and can be quickly replaced when you are ready for your next adventure.
Spacious Storage Compartment with Removable Sleeve for Wii, Xbox 360, PS3 Everki created the Beacon with the serious gamer in mind. Its main front compartment opens to reveal a fully removable padded sleeve large enough to comfortably fit a Wii, Xbox 360, or PS3 gaming console. The sleeve fits neatly into its compartment with room left over for documents and a few accessories, and the bag features a clever buckle system that allows for partial or full 180 degree opening of the compartment for easy loading. Additional interior pockets facilitate tidy organization of items like cables, tools, camera, and mouse, and all of the Beacon’s compartments are lined in a warm orange that contrasts stylishly against its black exterior.
Easy-Lift Dual Handles Manage your burden with ease with the Beacon’s dual handles, located at the top and the lower front side of the bag to allow you to conveniently get a grip on your gear and more easily maneuver it for packing and unpacking. These grips blend in seamlessly with the Beacon’s sleek design and are each solidly constructed using sturdy materials to ensure that this bag remains a loyal traveling companion trip after trip, journey after journey.
5-Point Balance Strap System Today’s tech-savvy traveler needs a bag that can carry a lot of weight without adding to it. Everki’s 5-Point Balance Strap System distributes weight load evenly across the torso to reduce muscle strain and keep you feeling light on your feet with every step you take while wearing the Beacon. Like most bags, the Beacon has two adjustable straps at the bottom. Everki adds to these two adjustable straps at the shoulders and one across the chest that give you more control over weight distribution and, ultimately, greater comfort.
Ergonomic Back Panel and Shoulder Straps The Beacon is designed with pillow-soft shoulder straps and padded back panel that pitch in to help you shoulder the load when you have to carry your gear for long periods of time. Mesh padding and deep airflow channels also allow for maximum air circulation to keep you dry, cool, and comfortable, even while you are in constant motion. Everki presents the Beacon’s padding and mesh in the same warm, orange tone that lines its interior.
Quick-Access Hip Pockets The Beacon includes discrete hip pockets on each side that provide quick access to items like keys, flash drives, water bottle, mobile phone, and portable media player. Left side pocket features a convenient cable outlet that offers tangle-free management of headphone cables and both pockets are easily accessible without having to remove the bag from your back. Their placement conforms to the flow of the design and they come equipped with high-quality zippers with durable all-metal pulls.

N/A 4/24/2013 9:07:56 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Is nice I like Pros: Best bag I own looks good also enough room for my Xbox or PS3 where ever I go. Also holds my college books well and keeps the laptop nice and safe. Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 4/14/2013 11:49:22 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5NICE but quality is lacking Pros: Very roomy Looks bada$$! Cons: Coming apart at the seams Other Thoughts: I paid 100.00 for this laptop bag to fit my 17.3 inch laptop and it does it with absolutely no problem. However, just like SO MANY other reviews for this bag, the seams are starting to fray and split open. There is no way I would carry my laptop and xbox 360 in this bag due to the fact the seams would not hold up due to the extra weight of the xbox 360. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Cliff 2/12/2013 7:54:54 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Quality Pros: Quality. as soon as you get this backpack you can appreciate the quality. The laptop compartment easily fits a LARGE, gaming 17.3 in SAGER laptop. The laptop compartment is felt lined protecting your laptop for scratches. The many pocket has plenty of compartments. The included console pouch is very nice and I have used it many times to transport my xbox. The included water proof cover also works very well and is easy and quick to install over the backpack in case of rain. The cover easily stores in the hidden pocket at the bottom of the bag. The backpack rests easily on the shoulders and back with well placed straps and supports. Cons: My only Con with this bag are the shoulder straps - after extended use they tend to tear. IMPORTANT - I have went through college with this bag and I overloaded it a great deal. As long as you do not sling the bag over your shoulder one handed you will not have an issue. Everski's customer service is great tho if it does rip. My brother has the same laptop bag and he had to send his in to get repaired. They covered everything completely (except shipping). Other Thoughts: It is important to note - the compartments are very large. However, if you carry a game system and a gaming laptop, it is difficult to fit anything else in the bag. The most I have been able to fit is an original 360, 1.5" thick 17.3" gaming laptop, both power bricks (one for each system), a couple games, cables, and a controller.

Cons: Didn't give me free pizza. Other Thoughts: If you want a durable bag that is cool and has lots of storage, you won't go wrong with this one. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

N/A 1/15/2013 10:58:33 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Indeed a good backpack yet still need to return Pros: good stylish backpack for console and laptop Cons: the main reason is to carry my Asus G75 series laptop but it will not fit... so i guess i have to go with the Titan Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Chris 1/8/2013 8:11:42 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Decent Backpack Pros: This is a pretty big backpack. One of the few that can hold the Asus G-series laptops. Large pocket for peripherals (I had a mouse, headset, power block for G73, camera, and various other items in there all the time). Relatively comfortable to wear for a long period of time. Cons: While it can house the Asus G73, it barely holds it. The top inch or so does not have the laptop sleeve protection (although, my laptop is not marred at all from this). Zippers started breaking after about 7 months of use. Thankfully it came free with my laptop purchase, but if I spent $100 on a backpack, I would expect it to come with stronger hardware. Other Thoughts: It's a decent "complimentary backpack", but if you're buying one for a gaming laptop or desktop replacement, I'd look elsewhere. I re-upped for an Everkai Titan and am much happier with that one. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 12/21/2012 12:30:06 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Nice Bag Pros: Looks Great Lots of room Nice features for a pack Comfy Cons: None Other Thoughts: Very solid pack here. Looks great even though I have owned it for this long. I mainly bought it to carry my over sized laptop AsusG75 and fits great. I also use it for college so it fits my books WITH my laptop. Also has a nice Concsole gaming bag. I use it to carry other thing but it is a nice feature. The rain guard works well. Anyways great comfortable bag with lots of room to spare that looks amazing. Hope this helps. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Jay 12/8/2012 4:32:57 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Awesome Backpack Pros: Great quality, fabric liner for laptop section. Straps and bells and whistles. Very comfortable to wear. Sleek and fashionable. Does everything a backpack can possibly do. Plenty of extra pockets and places to put things. Has an AUDIO VENT for your phone so you can hear it in the backpack. Genius. Cons: Does NOT fit up to 18" my 17.3 actually stretches the corners and is a pain to put in and take out. It fits better in the pocket that is NOT for laptops but is supposed to hold your pens/school stuff. Even then it is a stretch. Buyer beware. Anything smaller than 17.3 would fit perfect and the backpack is perfect otherwise and still works with the 17.3 it is just a pain. Other Thoughts: Everki apparently sells some serious backpacks. I was not aware but definitely work a look if you are planning to buy one. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 10/15/2012 6:55:53 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 5/5Best bag ever! Pros: Have owned this bag for a couple years. It has held up very well flying 130 average flight segments / year. The removable padded gaming console cover makes a perfect cover for my second laptop as I travel with an Asus G53 and a Lenovo Thinkpad. Lot's of extra space for books and accessories too. Stitching and ballistic nylon has held up very well under all the weight. Balances nicely on your shoulders and back. Cons: A little bit of worn webbing but I think it might have been a snag that caused it. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 8/16/2012 9:50:47 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5 Pros: Good construction overall, lots of pockets and protection for anything that could possibly hold electronics. Cons: MISSING WEATHER SHIELD, amazing how someone else's was missing as well. Lesser Con: The back is more of a reddish orange, while the inside and stitching are all, without a doubt, orange. Would be nice if they all were the same color. Other Thoughts: Bought this to go off to school with, will be leaving without the entire thing...
