Samsonite’s stylish Zalia Backpack features a spacious main compartment that opens wide for convenient access to the internal laptop and tablet sleeves.
Inside the main compartment you’ll find a collection of smaller storage pockets as well as a key clip and USB port. At the front of the pack is a convenient quick stash exterior pocket for last minute travel items.
Importantly, the Zalia has a padded back panel and adjustable shoulder straps. Moreover, the back panel features a slip-through back panel, so the backpack can be stored on the handle of your wheeled luggage.
To guard against accidental damage, the Samsonite Zalia is equipped with metal studs on the bottom that act as a barrier between the backpack and the ground.
For added security, the Samsonite Zalia has a dedicated RFID-blocking pouch to store personal items, such as bank cards and a passport when you travel.
