Fastrack Black Offbeat Ergolight Backpack Review

Fastrack Black Offbeat Ergolight Backpack - Front

The Fastrack Black Offbeat Ergolight is one of the latest additions to Fastrack's backpack collection. The Ergolight backpack series is so designed and manufactured to reduce the burden on the shoulders and other parts of the body. The bags are made of high quality, high comfort and lightweight materials. This is why these backpacks are recommended by National Health Academy (NHA). The Black Offbeat is meant for techies who want to carry their laptops and gadgets. So it was the perfect choice for me. This is my review of the backpack after a few days of usage.

Fastrack's Ergolight backpacks are specifically designed to be lightweight and comfortable. The bag's design and materials ensure this.

Material

The bag is made of Polyester and Rubber of good quality. The outer materials are strong and flexible. Internal paddings are used at many places including shoulder straps, back and inside laptop compartment. The graphics won't wear out.

Zippers

The SBS branded zippers are smooth and reliable. All the three main compartments come with dual zipper tags.

Fit

The bag fit very well on the shoulders thanks to the long and adjustable straps. The bag has a volume of 35 liters which is enough for carrying a laptop and other everyday gadgets headphones, powerbanks et. The laptop compartment can hold up to 16 inch laptops.

Ergonomics

All three compartments are separated by quality cloth and provide good separation. The first compartment has item organizer where you can put pen and pencils, and also has a zipper compartment. There's a mesh packet on the side for a water bottle. There are two compression straps on the sides. But they are always loose and can not be tightened. This bag comes with a non-detachable rain cover that is hidden under the bag inside a zipper compartment. This ensures you will always have the rain cover with you. The rain cover offers good water proofing. There's no sternum strap unfortunately.

Ventilation

The bag has breathable materials used wherever it comes in contact with the body. This provides good ventilation.

Waterproofing

Even though the company specifies no waterproofing, the outer Polyster materials used are still water repellent. I tested this myself. That's better than nothing. My previous bag did not have this feature. In heavy rain, you can just use the rain cover.

Weight

The bag weighs only 670g which is ideal for all ages.

Warranty

Fastrack is a well established and highly trusted brand from Titan and they provide a one year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Price

The bag has an MRP of ₹2245 but I bought it for ₹1500 from Amazon. The price can vary from time to time. The bag is still value for money considering the quality of it.

Ergolight backpacks are designed with comfort and quality in mind. Fastrack's workmanship is excellent as always. I highly recommend this product.
