Travelers on your holiday gift list? Slim, sleek and in a beautiful neutral tweedy gray material, the new Solo Unbound Backpack from Solo’s Urban Nomad Collection is a sophisticated carry-on choice. Part of the United States Luggage Company family that includes Briggs & Riley, Solo’s TSA checkpoint-friendly backpack design includes multiple inner compartments, plus a central, padded space for computers and tablets that opens flat so there’s no need to dig out or remove your electronics to go through screening. Weighing just 1.96 pounds, the sturdy design includes a comfy padded back, nicely cushioned straps and a super-handy panel that allows it to slide over the luggage handle of a roller bag.
