"This is a very rugged and comfortable laptop backpack. The company was great - shipping an extra sleeve "just in case it didn't fit" with less than a week until deployment. It comfortably carries 30+ pounds."
PC, Meta Owner

"I'm currently working in the Northern Kuwait desert -- it's one of the most inhospitable regions in the world where not even scorpions survive. My Meta has now survived six months of daily use. Through thick mud, blazing heat that can reach 150 degrees, and merciless sand storms the Meta has faithfully protected my laptop. Not only has the Meta failed to break in any way, it still looks like new!"
JW, Meta Owner

"I ordered a Meta from you in early 2002 and have been using it continuously since then. I do a great deal of business travel, and typically spend 1/3 of my time on the road. According to Delta, during the time that I have had the Meta, I have flown just over 500,000 REAL miles and been in Europe, North and South America, Asia, India, Australia, and the Caribbean. The Meta has been with me for all of these trips, acting as my briefcase and laptop bag. With the exception of the rubber handle on the top which is a bit ragged, I cannot detect ANY WEAR AT ALL. The seams are not coming apart; the cloth is not wearing; the zippers have not jammed or lost their pulls; the straps all work perfectly; even the seams are in perfect condition."
JS, Meta Owner

"I can't begin to tell you how impressed I've been with the Meta I purchased about 18 months ago. I've put it through some rough conditions but it hasn't broken or worn out in any way. Most importantly it's protected my laptop from damage at all times."
JW, Meta Owner

"I just got my Meta. I've gotta tell ya, Spire does a great job in designing and creating these packs. The Meta...is exceptional for travel. The hide-away straps/waist belt along with the detachable shoulder straps make it very versatile."
TS, Meta owner

"I took the Meta on a 3 week Far East (Malaysia, Philippines and China) trip and it performed well. The well-padded straps, waist belt and internal frame saved my back/shoulders. Thank you for the prompt and efficient service! My experience overall was great and I have recommended several people to check out your products."
KC, Meta owner

"I have had my pack for almost a month and I could not be happier. It is the ultimate laptop bag. It holds my Dell Inspiron 3700 perfectly. This is the backpack for the indoor/outdoor computer person. Thank you!"
CV, Meta owner

"I love my Meta!! A lot of my school friends have laptops, and you can be sure I'll be recommending Spire to them, not only for its high-end, top-quality backpacks, but for its prompt customer service as well. Thanks so much for helping me with my order and for your quick e-mail replies. I am a very happy customer!"
MM, Meta owner

"If you’re planning on taking your 17-inch notebook to the top of Kilimanjaro, look no further than the Spire Meta. This bruiser of a backpack, weighing nearly six pounds when completely empty, is so cavernous that we recommend you keep small children away from it, lest they wander inside and become unable to find their way out."

If you have a question that isn't listed here, please e-mail us!

Q. Will my laptop fit in the Meta?
A. To answer this question, you need to know the correct Boot size for your laptop (see below).

Q. What is a Boot and why do I need it?
A. The Boot is a padded, removable sleeve that secures your laptop inside the pack. It is essential for full laptop protection and is available in 8 different sizes.

Q. How do I know which Boot size will fit my laptop?
A. Check the specs on the Boot page or (even better) use our awesome bag finder.

Q. I already have a Boot, or don't need one. Can I purchase the Volt XL without it?
A. Yes, after you click the 'Buy' button, skip the step where it asks for the Boot size. The price of the pack without the Boot is $160.00.

Q. I clicked on the 'Buy' button but nothing happened. What's up?
A. You must select a color first.

Q. Do you have any other colors?
A. No, but we'll be happy to hear about any color suggestions you have!

Q. What is the difference between the Meta and your other packs?
A. The Meta is much larger and has a greater capacity. It also has a removable, rigid internal framesheet for extra support and comfort. For a detailed comparison, go to our Compare Packs page.

Q. What makes the Volt XL worth $190.00? I've seen packs for less.
A. Bottom line: ours are better. More comfortable, better designed, and longer lasting. Also, the price includes the padded Boot sleeve, which retails for $30.00 by itself. Read more about what makes Spire products special.
