Answers to a common question
Is the helikon-tex urban courier bag medium large enough for a laptop and gym clothes?
Yes, for many users it is. The bag includes a dedicated laptop compartment with dimensions 34 x 2 x 25.5 cm, which typically fits up to around a 13-inch class laptop (always compare your laptop’s measurements). The main compartment and additional pockets can hold light gym essentials such as a T-shirt, shorts, and small towel. For bulkier items like shoes or a large hoodie, space can get tight due to the 9.5 L capacity, so consider packing compactly or choosing a larger bag if you regularly carry shoes.
