Low-profile, expanding mesh water bottle pockets.
Extra large #10 YKK zippers on main compartment for years of trouble-free use.
Easy-access, fleece lined sunglass/iPhone pocket on the top of rear compartment.
BeltLoop™ holds the waistbelt out of the way when you don't need it.
Multiple interior organization pockets with zippers ensure that all your junk is accessible and secure.
SuperCush™ rear panel has extra thick padding and breathable mesh for comfort.
Dedicated laptop compartment with two positioning options (against back or not) lets you decide where to put your Boot sleeve.

"If you want a simple, elegant and robust laptop bag then take a serious look at Spire’s range of bags. The Volt is at the bigger end of the range, but while it holds a lot of gear, its not too bulky. When the compression straps are cinched up, it’s very stable for either walking or riding. Its understated looks do not scream “steal me.” Spire’s attention to detail is impressive, this bag has been well thought out. I like it." [Read whole article]

"The Volt from Spire is the most expensive bag that I tested. This bag is also worth every penny. I had the opportunity to bring this one with me during a recent trip to Disney World with my wife and kids. This bag did nothing but impress me. Its padded shoulder straps made it very comfortable to lug around diapers and jars of baby food not to mention all the souvenirs. And when I returned home, this bag did just as well on my back getting to work. My Powerbook fit snug and secure using the Spire Boot, which is Velcroed to the bag interior. There are more pockets than I knew what to do with but the beauty of this design was unused pockets did not bulk up the pack. A well-designed bag at a competitive price if you have a need for a bag that carries small and large loads."

"The Volt can carry laptops such as the 17" PowerBook and other large desktop replacement laptops with no problem. The bottom of the backpack is well padded for shock absorbency and your laptop is protected by 4 layers of fabric and 2 layers of closed-in foam. There are two large external pockets for access to your often needed documents and there are multiple interior pockets for other mobile accessories. The Volt includes a padded Boot sleeve which can be sized to your specific laptop."
