ORI LONDON Rolltop Backpack Finchley - Large 20L Travel Backpack

In this review the Finchley rolltop backpack is presented as a practical everyday travel pack for commuters, students and occasional travelers who need a weatherproof, well-organised bag. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a roll-top closure that covers the zip for added security and a roomy 20 liter main compartment that still manages to stay compact and tidy. The reviewer found the build materials and hardware noticeably robust and appreciated the many pockets and wide mouth for quick access.

Key Features

• Roll-top security: The roll-top design covers the zipper and adds an extra layer of protection against casual access and light weather.
• Weatherproof materials: Nylon and canvas construction with durable hardware keeps the bag looking good through daily use and damp conditions.
• Organised storage: Multiple pockets, chunky zippers and a wide mouth allow easy sorting of laptop, phone and daily essentials.
• Comfort and carry options: Adjustable straps and wide loop handles make it easy to carry on the shoulder or by hand.
• Sustainable build: Made from repurposed nylon and materials from unused garments as part of a certified B Corp approach.

Who It's For

The Finchley suits commuters and students who need a durable bag that can carry a small laptop, wallet and other daily items without being oversized. Outdoor-minded urban users will value the roll-top security and weather-resistant textiles when moving through city rain or short trips.

It is not aimed at heavy packers who need a 30L+ travel bag or mountaineers requiring technical features; those users should look for specialist hiking packs. If a highly cushioned laptop compartment with rigid protection is essential, a dedicated laptop sleeve case may be preferable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Quality construction and durable hardware that hold up to regular use.
• Plenty of organised pockets and a wide mouth for quick packing and access.
• Eco-conscious materials and certified B Corp credentials for responsible shoppers.

Cons

• At 20 liters the pack is not ideal for longer trips where more capacity is needed.
