Purchasing a business backpack can be overwhelming when there are so many options out there! From color to style to size, the choices in business backpacks are endless. Fortunately, Duravo is here to help. Our Venture backpacks are all made from lightweight, sturdy Flexshell™ and premium ballistic-grade nylon and include features such as an AirTag holder, expandable side, and discreet zippered side pockets. 

Additionally, both Venture options fit under standard-sized seats in most airlines. Combined with a Duravo carry-on, this allows a significant packing boost without having to check in anything. This helps you to save time and money and avoid hassles with baggage claims and check-in fees. 

However, there are some distinct differences between the Venture Full and Venture Slim backpacks that you will need to take into consideration when choosing your next business backpack. 

The Roomy Venture Full

The largest of Duravo’s line of backpacks, the Venture Full boasts a 25-liter capacity. However, at 18.5 x 12.6 x 8.5 inches (47 x 32 x 21cm), it still easily meets the regulations of IATA cabin-sized baggage. The Venture Full provides a Flexshell-protected side compartment that fits laptops up to 17". Additionally, this backpack includes handy front, middle, and main compartments to store cords, clothing, shoes, books, office supplies, and more! 

Users have commented on the Venture Full’s lightweight construction, numerous pockets, and large storage capacity. They also appreciated that the Venture Full stands up on its own when set down and that their electronics are protected by Flexshell. The ergonomic back padding and trolley sleeve that fits snugly on the Duravo carry-on trolley handle were also plusses. 

The Compact Venture Slim 

At a 20-liter capacity, the Venture Slim is the perfect choice for someone who might want a more compact version of the Venture Full. With dimensions of 18.5 x 12.6 x 6.7 inches, the Slim is slightly smaller than the Full but is still roomy enough for clothing, shoes, office essentials, and smaller electronics. 

One of the main differences between the Venture Full and Venture Slim is the absence of a dedicated laptop compartment in the Slim. However, smaller electronics can still be stored and protected with the Slim’s padded sleeve in the main compartment. Customers report being able to store laptops up to 15”, as well as clothing and office supplies. Several reviewers mention the ease with which they were able navigate cities and public transportation with their Venture Slims.

Which One Should You Choose? 

Like the choice between most business backpacks, the choice between the Venture Full and Venture Slim depends on your daily activities, commute, and electronic size. For daily office use, with a commute on public transportation, the Slim may prove to be more convenient than the bigger Full. However, the Full may be a better choice for frequent travel or packing for several different activities during the day, such as going from the office to the gym.

Another consideration is body type and size. For someone with a smaller frame, the Full may feel too large and bulky. And for someone with a larger frame, the Slim might feel too small. Consider your travel and work needs, electronic sizes, commute, and body type before selecting the Full or Slim.
