Carry your laptop, portfolio, you name it - securely.

For extended trips, trade shows, conferences, to carry portfolios, sales brochures...or just your normal business load, this rugged Cordura nylon notebook briefcase can take a beating and still look great at your next meeting.

Volara closed cell foam padding keeps it standing tall and upright while protecting your belongings. Our Metro Briefcases feature internal mesh file separators on each wall inside the bag. One is sewn down to the bottom to keep your files, brochures or magazines in place, while the other is left open at the bottom so you can secure your laptop notebook out of the way. The separators have 8 pockets for discs, CDs, a palm pilot, and slots for up to 5 pens, pencils or pointing devices. Each inside mesh flap clips at the top to hold everything in place.

On the exterior of the bag there's access to 6 pockets, including 2 bellows pockets with looped "Red Oxx snap closures" that expand to fit your needs. Hidden behind each bellows pocket is a flat slip pocket for paper, boarding passes, etc. The bellows pockets work well for laptop batteries or power supplies. The other 2 pockets are full length flat zipper pockets for documents or magazines. There's also 2 water bottle pockets on each end to keep you hydrated during your journey. Confidently carry the bag using the no slip Claw Shoulder Strap or by the nylon carry handles.

If all this makes the Metro sound too big, try our Chica NetBook Bag. Too small? Move up the the Metro's big brother, the CPA Notebook Briefcase, which is twice as wide. The Red Oxx Metro Laptop Briefcase, a business briefcase with the heart of rugged Adventure.

slightly too long
By W - Silicon Valley March 2, 2010

Dave's comment was right on, good product but slightly too big for todays laptops.

One More Zipper Please
By Michael W. - San Francisco February 4, 2010

On the back side of this bag - not the snap pouch side - please consider adding a second side-to-side zipper, so I can unzip the top and bottom zippers on that side and slip the resulting panel over a wheelie's handle - like on the PR4 Beanos!

RedOxx Missed the Market Indicators w/the Metro
By Dave - Arlington VA February 3, 2010

Bought this for my college-student nephew as a gift and gave it a test drive for a few days. I'm a big Red Oxx fan - Metro, Air Boss, SkyTrain, Gator & PR4 replacing some beat-up Tumis and other carry-ons. The Metro is a very good alternative to my Tumi expandable [(12" x 16" x 5.5" (HxWxD)] "Safecase." It misses the mark - but is clearly a competitive product @ $140 vice $345. With the foam padding it "stands tall" and the depth is good. The organizers are simple and unlike Tumi - there aren't too many or them! Less can be more. But at over 17" wide it's out of touch - no one lugs around 17"laptops any more. If so, a large laptop is best carried inverted in a backpack carrier. With the foam inserts, 17" is too wide and unwieldy compared to a messenger bag w/o the foam padded stability. As a counterpoint - the Metro with extra width allows you to cram a cable or accessory pocket next to a 15" or smaller laptop - but a better solution would be to adopt a Tumi design: one small + one medium bellows pocket vice two small ones. Lots of wasted front panel space in the current design w/two small, Gator-sized pockets. In a nutshell..shrink the Metro at least an inch in width, expand one of the bellows pockets in width, and for the water bottle pockets on either end: lose the elastic and use a parachute cord snugger instead for the bigger bottles (like Sigg)

Quality is Great
By Sunny - Canada February 1, 2010

I like this bag, it's just longer in length then I need. I got this to go with my Skytrain for when I travel with my laptop. It is a smaller sized laptop, so I had been looking for a bag more suited to it size-wise. The Gator was just a bit to small, and any other product I could find was just not well made, too many 'features', or not enough features! Regarding the length, I am petite-ish female, so it seems bigger to me then it might to other users. I will continue to use this when I travel for business; I love the Red Oxx durability of it, and the pockets and red interior are just right. I had no problem with my Klean Kanteen water bottles fitting in the end pockets though they add more to the length. I wish it was shorter; I really try to pack light and I have no intention of carrying around legal-sized papers that this was made to fit. I will also use it as just my overnight bag when suitable, but most of my travels will otherwise be met by just my Skytrain. It does fit into the big section of the Skytrain, so it may join me on a trip as a 2nd bag for a flight home.

Great Daily Bag
By Luke - New Jersey January 3, 2010

I've been looking for a bag to use for my daily trip to work. I couldn't find anything that fit my needs until I found the Metro. Not only will it carry everything I need to carry back and forth to work, but it will also fit into the center compartment of my AirBoss. Thanks RedOxx!

Good, not great
By Michael Hodges - NH December 4, 2009

This bag is as solid as everything from RO; the most durable stuff I've ever bought and worth every penny. However, I find the Metro bag to be limited design-wise. The simple interior I find kind of messy to use, with just 3 basic holding slots and some small pockets on the side walls of the slots. A lot of adjusting and rearranging time to get stuff in there and I seem to end up with just a big mess of stuff thrown in a bag that requires sorting and sifting any time I want to get something out. A pain to pull out from under the airplane seat and find something particular. The bag is solid but probably based too directly on the design of the Air Boss for the purpose of a document/laptop carry-on. I agree with the water bottle comment elsewhere: you can't carry water through security and a big bottle doesn't fit the pocket. I never use these pockets on ANY bag, so they waste space and weight. I think RO could come up with something more innovative and practical for business travelers.

workhorse of a bag
By Paul Gilna - San Diego, USA October 29, 2009

I purchased this bag in black along with an Air Boss in the same color. I use it to carry a laptop (it fits a macbook air up to the 17" MacBook pro), along with assorted accessories for the computer, documents and other sundry items. It can hold a great deal without looking like it's about to explode, and given the quality of the zippers, I doubt it would anyway! I tend to carry the AirBoss on my shoulder and use the hand straps to carry the Metro. In this format I tend to concur with other reviews that I would prefer that the carry handles had some sort of strengthening (like leather and did not need to be clipped together--this slows down the process of taking out a laptop at airport security. That's a small niggle however, it is a great bag!

Carry On Travel Capable Laptop bag
By Howard G - Billings May 18, 2009

I needed a laptop bag for a new job that requires travel. I decided the Metro would be a welcome travel companion as it fit my Dell Latitude. The side bellows pockets held all my computer accessories. I like the mesh divider with pockets and slots for writing utensils and such. I also got an Air Boss which you can read my review as a companion bag for my clothes. I was able to fit the Metro INSIDE the middle section of the Air Boss, which made these 2 bags complement each other and reduce one's carry-on to one bag. Again, I'm not big on over shoulder carry, but the Metro is sized right for it. The strap really does NOT slip off. Now that I've experienced the "carryon philosophy" firsthand, I shan't return to baggage claims any time soon. By the way, I've recently moved to Billings and recommend anyone in the area visit the store. They have a large selection available and you can see what the colors look like first hand.

Best Soft Travel Briefcase
By Anonymous - New Orleans May 3, 2009

This product arrived yesterday. I have several computer bags, but this one is absolutely outstanding It is, like all of your products, extremely well built. It holds a 15" laptop securely and with just enough room so the fit is neither too tight or too lose. The Claw strap is perfect. I like the two snap pockets on the front from an ergonomic and practical standpoint, although they make the bag a little to casual to take to court or to a business meeting. I'll keep my leather briefcase for local use, and travel with this one. Another great product.
