I know there are fans for both options but I just wanted to see if any of you ever had negative comments from customers about rocking a backup in a business meeting.

Thanks for the feedback
Another opinion here. I think if you carry a leather backpack and make sure your suit and shoes are high quality and conservative, you'll be fine. But carry the backpack into the meeting by its top handle rather than wearing it as you would in the airport.
