ruggedised range that’s smart enough for the office

Kensington launches laptop bags to help workers get Active - December 06, 2007

Kensington, the mobile computer accessories manufacturer, has launched a range of laptop bags designed to withstand whatever today’s user throws at them – be it dodging traffic and rain as they cycle through the city, or impressing clients when they arrive at their meeting.

Appropriately named the Active range, it includes the Contour Active Notebook Messenger and the Vertical Messenger. The bags are made from rugged, water-resistant fabrics and include impact-resistant notebook compartments with an Airbrake™ bottom, keeping the laptop safe and dry. They also have a velvet-touch electronics pocket to protect the user’s iPod, Blackberry or phone from scratches.

To make the bags easy to carry, both feature a Quickpull™ tab so that the strap can be adjusted in seconds, and ‘grab and go’ handles that are contoured to the shape of the hand. Using Kensington’s unique Contour technology, the bags hug the body and shift weight close to the user’s centre of gravity, reducing shoulder strain.

The bags are also easy to use: they include a separate magazine and ticket compartment that’s easy to access, and feature a magnetic closure to secure the bag easily. The intelligent organisation features mean there’s a space for everything without impacting on the bag’s compact profile.

“As laptops become ever lighter and people’s working practices become more mobile, demand is high for a laptop bag that’s ready for anything,” said Karen Hicks, European product manager at Kensington. “These bags are rugged enough to withstand the toughest of conditions, and smart enough for the office.”

The Contour Active Notebook Messenger fits notebooks up to 15.4”, and the Contour Active Vertical Notebook Messenger fits notebooks up to 14”.
