PRODUCT REVIEW: STM Drifter Energy Laptop Backpack with Joey Smart Power Supply

Product Info:

The drifter is easy to wear, pockets in all the right places and comfortable to boot.   A hint of retro design yet space for all the daily tech needs.  Room for work docs, gym gear, lunch, umbrella, waterbottle, etc.  It’s a thoughtful pack - lightweight despite its size and capacity.  The drifter is the perfect carry for a 15” laptop, tablet, phone and all necessities of everyday life or world travel.

The STM Drifter Energy is the best backpack for traveling because not only can you plug in your smartphone and other electronic gadgets to charge on the go while they are stashed in your bag, the backpack also features a floating electronics pocket. If you drop the Drifter Energy or it falls off a table or chair you had it resting on, the laptop or tablet you had inside will not be able to hit the floor. The specially sewn electronics pocket will keep these fragile devices suspended off the bottom of the bag sparing them from dents and cracks. Fleece lined pockets save cameras, sunglasses and phone screens from scratches and a unique top loading design makes it easy to locate what you packed without exposing the entire contents of your bag to everyone around you.

STM was founded in 1998 just outside Sydney, Australia in the famous suburb of Bondi Beach, our mission was, and still remains; to come up with a more comfortable, secure and stylish means of transporting your digital gear. Today, STM makes a variety of laptop bags, packs, fitted tablet and phone cases. All are designed to make life a bit more worry free.

Our thoughts:

Our STM Drifter Energy was equipped with a Joey Smart Power Supply that can be easily plugged into a wall to charge the lithium battery. Then, when you are on the go, just plug your phone, tablet or laptop into the Joey for a quick recharge any place, any time and receive an extra 15-20 hours of talk time for your phone and extra power for your tablet.

The STM Drifter Energy with a Joey Smart Power Supply is an attractive and comfortable backpack that provides easy access to your devices and the power to keep them running while on the go.
