When buying a notebook bag there are always things you need to look for in your shoulder or backpack bag but other things you may not know or can find out. Some of these things include those important aspects like will it hold my particular notebook or all my other stuff.

Some things that you cannot know until you actually use it like how will my notebook fit into it and will it be comfortable when carrying around. Buying a notebook bag from an online retailer or store is a risky proposition because you don't know how the bag will work and you especially don't know if you'll be able to return it if you don't like it.

STM and the online retailer RadTech warranties their products while RadTech offers a 15 day return policy after you receive it, STM offers a lifetime warranty that covers their products. STM will replace the bag if it is defective in materials or workmanship up to the cost of the original value.

STM is an Australian company that manufactures and sells their shoulder bags and other products through companies like RadTech so they are the original manufacturer of the Duplex bag. RadTech is a retailer that sells products of their own and from other companies so they do carry some warranty policies as well.

So we have the fact that if it breaks due to bad materials or just a lousy manufacturing you can return it as well as if you just do not like it and have all the parts and packaging just ship it back and they will refund your money. But we come to the part of how does it work and what it can do, the Duplex Shoulder Bag is a great idea in notebook messenger type bags.

The Duplex has a separate sleeve that fits your notebook as well as just being able to slide a notebook into the bag on its own with plenty of room for other items. The Duplex has a removable shoulder strap with a separate pad for comfort and the bag also has a handle for easy carrying on the top toward the back.
