- Is the Coach Wade good for a laptop commute?
- Yes. The structured leather body protects a laptop and the two-way zipper opens wide for easy packing. It is heavier than a nylon commuter pack, so it suits short commutes better than long walks.
- How does it compare with Coach's other backpacks?
- The Wade is the dressier, all-leather option, while Coach's canvas and mixed-material packs are lighter and more casual. Choose the Wade if you need one bag for the office and travel.
- Does it fit under an airplane seat?
- It is sized as a daypack and generally fits under a seat when not overstuffed. The stiff leather limits how much you can compress it, so pack it loosely for flights.
- What is the closure like?
- It uses a two-way zipper, so you can open the main compartment from either side. Reviewers describe the zipper as smooth and the pulls as sturdy.
- How should I care for the leather?
- Wipe it with a soft dry cloth and condition the leather periodically. Keep it out of prolonged rain, since smooth leather can spot and dry out.
- Is it a men's bag only?
- Coach markets it as a men's backpack, but the shape and black leather are unisex. Anyone who wants a structured leather daypack can carry it.
- Where is the Coach Wade Backpack cheapest?
- At COACH, for $395.00, as of our latest check.
