FAQ

Q: Are USB charging ports actually useful?
A: Yes — but only if you carry the power bank inside.

Q: Anti-theft backpacks — gimmick or genuine?
A: Genuine. The hidden zip against your back means a pickpocket can't access the main compartment without you noticing.

Q: How long should a good office laptop backpack last?
A: 3–5 years with daily use for ₹3,000+ bags. 2–3 years for sub-₹2,500 picks.
