"I've received my Volt and started using it. It's great. It is the perfect size for my computer and the piles of books I need to carry around for classes. Thanks for great service and a great product!"
- WR, Volt Owner
"I just received my bag. The bag looks great, but more importantly, it is perfect!! The 'Boot' is the best I've seen to date. I experimented a bit and loaded up more than I would ever carry at one time, stood the bag up, and the zippers closed with such ease, one would think the bag was empty. Fantastic product, I'm sure it will stand the test in the field. Thanks again."
- BT, Volt Owner
"What can I say about the Volt? It is what I had expected and more! Not only does the backpack looks great, but all the pockets & compartments are just perfect for organizing my mess of cables and adapters. Not to mention the waist and chest straps helping to distribute the load so well. Unlike the Targus backpack I have been using, I expect this one to last me a long time! Two thumbs up for a great product."
- TCY, Volt Owner
"I received my Volt just before going back to college and have enjoyed it greatly. It is the perfect size to hold my laptop, along with text books and accessories. The bag can handle anything you throw at it. The quality is outstanding. The bag is comfortable to wear, and distributes the weight wonderfully as well. I would highly recommend this bag to anyone."

"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."
- AppleMatters.com
"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."
