   I must have spent weeks looking for a medium size rucksack for travelling that has a decent space for my iPad but not too big. I’m a small person and most I found were just too big for me, and would look like a mountain on my back! I was concerned about the quality given I couldn’t look at it physical but I’m certainly not disappointed, good quality, both by looks and feel. It’s not like a lot of rucksacks where there is just 1 or 2 compartments that you spend ages looking for things, lots of compartments that makes it easy to organise your items. Not sure how waterproof it is, I suspect it can take light rainfall but might be an issue in heavy down pour, I did buy the rucksack cover for £4.99. Love it! My only issue is not with the bag itself, but emails, I never received any confirmation email or any email at all (even in my spam/junk folder), I had to email customers support directly to get any emails, though they were prompt in their response.

   Zaino stupendo e molto pratico, lo consiglio. Il colore viola è molto bello, ha tante tasche da poter usare anche tutti i giorni per andare a lavoro e per viaggiare.

   I spent ages doing research looking for the perfect laptop / tech / personal bag to go with my cabin roll along. Took a risk ordering Something unseen, but so glad I did. This bag is brilliant. Just the right size for a 14″ laptop, iPAD, chargers, work paperwork and even a toiletries pouch and some food. The 14″ laptop slides in easily. My 15″ even fits. The water bottle holder on the outside is perfect for 500ml bottles. The thing that makes this bag is the combination of little things: It keeps its shape and stands up. The zips are really easy to move one handed. Items in the main compartment stay stacked on top of each other, rather than ending up bunched and bulging at the bottom. The many pockets. The big carry handle at the top. The side access pockets at the front. The comfortable straps. All of this makes it a joy to travel with. Dislikes? I swapped the retractable key holder for a small Karabiner to hook my keys on and the black isn’t really black, it’s dark grey, but I have grown to like this. Overall, if I lost it tomorrow I would immediately order a replacement.

   I finally got mine. I bought Siena Pro 13 since im a short woman so this would be a perfect size for me and I love it. This is my 2nd purchased in Nordace I also have Ellie mini but my laptop wont fit there so i bought the siena Pro 13 for my everyday use and travelling backpack. Im in love with my backpack and the color, and how well made it is, from the stitches, the hight quality fabric and it looks stylish and also a lot of compartment and my laptop fits well in the laptop compartment. I cant wait to use this bag on our trip this year. Highly recommended.

   I have been looking to get a travel bag for an upcoming overseas trip. This is perfect for those wanting a smaller travel backpack as carry on. I have the larger size for hubby but the Sienna Pro 13 is just what l need. Very well made bag with lots of compartments. Took abit to stretch the water bottle holder but after a few wears it fits the Nordace 500ml bottle.

   I was looking for a new backpack to use for work, city, hiking and as an underseat bag.
   I bought the Siena Pro 13 in all black, and am very pleased with it.
   In comparison with my old backpack, it’s a big higher so it can (just) contain a folder with A4 documents in the laptop compartiment, perfect for work!
   It’s softer on the shoulders, lighter, and very stylish. I love the many compartiments in the front for quick access, and how sleek it all still looks.
   I haven’t used it as an underseat bag yet, but as it’s the same width as my old backpack, I’m sure it fits
   (btw. I always place the bag on its side, not on its back or front like in the pictograms shown. This way you have more than enough room for your feet next to the bag)
   The bag stands on its own, even when empty, which was an important feature for me.
   The bottle pocket is large enough, but the elastic is too strong, I’ve been trying to stretch it a bit, but if that doesn’t work, I might cut it and make it a bit longer. For now it’s a bit of a struggle to put the bottle back. The pocket also can be used for your umbrella.
   In the big compartiment it will hold: a toiletry bag, a foldable down jacket, a lunchbox, an umbrella, … and there’s room left.
   ps: I had to buy an adapter for the USB-A port, because my phone uses USB-C.

   Just received my Siena Pro 13 today. LOVE it so much. I am in Canada & it took 8 business days to arrive, which is a lot sooner than 14 to 16 days said on the website. I am only 5’2, so the size is perfect for me. Love ❤️ the light purple so much. I bought it as my work bag. Can’t wait to use it + for travel.

   I always tend to fill up my bag, so this one is definitely better for me and my poor back! 😀 I was a bit hesitant at first but if does fit my 14” laptop and I still have space for loads of things while commuting. It’s sturdy, cute and has a lot of different and useful compartments. If you prefer, however, to have everything on the plane with you, you probably would like to go for the next size – I’d still choose this one for travelling too!

   I was looking for a backpack that fitted the ridiculous European airline personal item size limits while also having good storage (for in-flight essentials & a change of clothes) being good quality, and was actuall elegant, didn’t look cheap etc -this bag is perfect! It’s within the size limit for ‘bargain’ airlines (which are generally 40x30x20, 40x30x15cm, or Ryanair 40x25x20. Can you tell I’ve done my research??). It’s lightweight but great quality and feature rich. I’m actually surprised Nordace dont make a bigger deal of this ‘airline personal item size’ selling point. I don’t often leave reviews, but I’m back on this site to pick up some more items, including possibly another one of these in a different colour.

    Love everything about this backpack apart from the usb charge point which fell inside on the third use.

    I’m addicted to Nordace and this Sienna Pro 13 is my latest, I bought this for holidays, days out, I’ve had too many cheap ruck sack straps that rub my skin and can’t fit much in, Yes it’s not a cheap price but it’s worth every penny

    Go with the biggest bag! As with another reviewer, the 13″ is wayyyy too small. Whilst the bag is well made and I loved the colour and all the different compartments, for my 1 month holiday to Europe, the bag was too small. It barely fit all the things I needed just for the airplane (headphones, small toiletry bag, chargers, laptop) and yes the water bottle compartment is small but that was ok. Fits a regular 500ml water bottle but no larger. The original reason I went with the smaller backpack was because one reviewer said the 17″ swallowed her up being short. Well, I’m 5’3″ (160cm) and someone traveling in our group had the 17″ and it was perfectly fine and would’ve been a much better option. The inside compartment where the power bank goes ripped within the first week which was a little annoying. I got the natural colour and even after a month it didn’t get too dirty.

    I discovered the Nordace backpacks while I was looking for a bag I could use as a complement to my hand luggage when flying. I fly a lot with KLM and it was hard to find a backpack that fit their specifications and that’s when I found the Sierra 13. Just had my first trip with it and I’m absolutely in love. I packed everything I needed and there are pockets for everything (the sunglasses compartment is really a nice touch!). It’s the perfect bag to use as an accessory to a hand luggage, it’s very comfortable to carry around and is pretty. For those who are looking for a backpack to also care a few pieces of clothes tho, I recommend a bigger size. Here’s basically what I packed: iPad, power bank, phone charger, water, snacks, passport, wallet, a thin folder with documents, sunglasses, hand sanitizer, hand cream, a few small toiletries, keys, one T-shirt, umbrella

    My backpack came and I love it. It is so elegant. It is perfect size for travel, work or daily trip to the seaside. I love all the pockets, especially those in front on both sides, you can put a lot of things in there. Powerbank adaptor works like a charm and the backpack is very soft and comfortable. I also like that it is compact and it stands even when empty.

    Perfect size for travelling. This is the 3rd Nordace bag I have purchased, 2 for myself and 1 for my son to take to collage. All 3 are excellent quality and I am about to buy a 4th for my husband. This was the perfect size to carry at the airport and on the plane. Lots of useful pockets and gadgets that you don’t know you need! Fantastic purchase!

    Backpack arrived and I ordered the 13”. Sadly I now realize I made an expensive mistake as I should have gotten the 15”:(. I wanted it to compliment my carry on luggage however it is really small and sadly will hold less than the one I already have that I was looking to replace. If there was an opportunity to return and replace, I would, however Nordace does not cover returns and therefore it makes it even more unaffordable to replace. The bag itself is well made and is good quality. The water bottle holder is very small and only accommodates a small thin bottle. The 13” would make a good kids school bag, however as a travel bag it is not useful as it holds very little. My mistake, so buyer beware, think before purchasing what your needs are and go with the larger version for travel.

    Bought it on April 2nd, was delivered yesterday. Really happy with the backpack and especially the size. It looks great and has lots of space! I was even able to fit my 15” laptop in the laptop compartment, eventhough I bought the Sienna Pro 13 (it is however a tight fit so if you’re looking for a backpack to transport your laptop daily, buy the right size). I’m travelling in a couple of weeks and will certainly use my Siena Pro 13!
