Very efficient bag to work out of, one potentially major flaw.
Been using this bag several weeks now and have been pleased. The layout engineering is top notch, you can access your laptop, mouse, & charger within seconds & there is plenty of room for a packed lunch, light change of clothers, and lots of books.That said, this is a commuter bag, don’t expect to do any rucking or outdoorsy stuff at this price point. The materials and zippers are sturdy but not built for abuse. It won’t fall apart on you but would definitely not hold up if repeatedly exposed to the elements.One livable flaw which I have seen other posters comment on; the zippers for the main laptop compartment can and WILL give way if not positioned properly, allowing the whole bag to flip open and potentially spill whatever is in the tablet pocket. The laptop itself is ok when this happens since it stays upright on your back while the rest of the bag clamshells backwards in an awkward/embarrassing position (and always at the WORST time). The key is to never position both zippers at 12 o’clock and instead leave both of them at one of the corners, then you will not have this problem. It would be nice if there was a warning for this but it can be easily avoided through conscientiousness and a minor change of habit.All said this bag is sturdy and hard to beat for for weekend or business travel. The blackout version is also fairly discrete and does not scream to everyone “EXPENSIVE LAPTOP INSIDE!!!!” Highly recommend.

Excellent quality bag
I originally ordered 5 other bags in an attempt to save some money. I returned 4 immediately and the 5th one after use on one trip because arriving was coming apart in multiple places.I decided to just get a Wenger bag because I’m familiar with their quality. Luckily picked this up used for about half price however after seeing it compared to all the others I ordered, it’s well worth full price. It checks all the boxes with the external USB port, sternum strap, elevated laptop section for max protection, TSA/scansmart feature, bottle holder and large main storage area. Someone in another review said the shoe compartment was very small but this is not true (I was actually able to fit 2 pairs of size 11 Hey Dudes in it).For a test of it’s capacity I packed it up as of I was going for a weekend trip. Below is everything I fit in it…TSA section – Laptop, charger, wireless mouse, network cableSunglass/Quick Access pocket – spare battery pack, tic tacs, ear buds, ear plugsMain section – 2 tee shirts, 2 pairs of shorts/socks/underwear, very large battery pack connected to the external USB port, charging cables.Shoe compartment – I don’t often travel with extra shoes so I used this for my shave bag which includes all the typical stuff including a head shaver and an electric razor. This way, I could have access to it without needing to unpack the clothes on top of it.Organizer pocket – pens, lens cleaner clothes, business cards, hand sanitizer. Still had a lot of room available.Front pocket – this is the one with the vertical zipper. I didn’t put anything in it but it works be perfect for snacks.I had all this packet up and I weighed it to be about 17 lbs. I wore it around for about 15 minutes and it was extremely comfortable. I could feel the elastic in the chest strap and the suspension feature in the shoulder straps doing their job. Had zero shoulder or neck strain. About the only negative thing I could say is that if you put a water bottle in the mesh pocket, it great reduces anything you could put in the insulated pocket. I looked at about 10 other bags between ones I had ordered from Amazon and checked out in stores and this is by far the best one.

High quality with plenty of room laptop and books
Yet to use, but initial inspection shows this backpack to be of very high quality design and material, time will tell, but so far it easily worth the $80 I spent on it.It is a bit on the bigger size, but nothing ridiculous. It is exactly the right size for a student to carry a 16″ laptop, a few books/notebooks, misc. items like a mouse and pens and then have room to spare. It also has two very nice external pockets on each side that are large enough for a insulated water bottle. It has a large middle storage area that expands to about 6″ deep with enough room for several books and it has 2 zipper pockets and a separator. A nicely paddy laptop and tablet storage area. Plenty of small pockets in the front storage area for lots of little things. A little extra touch is that the handle on top has a metal reinforcing rod in it for extra strength.Not sure if this is good or bad, depends on your needs, but it has an integrated “rigid” glasses case accessible through a front zipper and extends into the middle storage area. Great if you have sunglasses or reading classes, otherwise it is not removable and does take up some space. Could also be used for pens or other small items.

Great pack.
Great design and layout. Quality !! The top handle is comfortable and I love the integrated wire. Zippers are great. The glasses compartment is structured so great protection. Straps super comfortable and ergo shape.Weird to leave a 5 star review on a product I didnât keep (yes, returned) but what I learned was that 31.5 liter capacity was just a little too big for what I needed. It would be great for someone traveling with 1-2 days of clothes or a student carrying more books, but a little too big for my daily office carry. If it was just a little smaller, this would have been perfect.But if your size preference is in that 29-32 liter size range, consider this one – classy, robust, well thought out.

Durable and multifunctional, great for travel and everyday use
I bought a 2nd one as my old bag of the same model had a broken zipper after over 2 years of use. It lasted a bit less time than I anticipated, but the bag had gone through quite some âabuseâ: too much stuff packed, squeezed under airline seat and into the overhead bin, etc. As for the bag, lots of compartments, great for travel, and everyday use. It is slight heavy, but I cannot imagine less materials used for a bag as sturdy as this. As for the look, it is quite good, not very sleek but not clumsy either. The muted logo on the black bag adds some elegance to the appearance.

Muy buena tela y acabados, elegante, de lo mejor que he comprado en mochilas.

The photos and product description do not match the product I was given. Iâve read a couple of similar reviews just now so this isnât just a one off, the USB power port is not on the chest strap as advertised, and the handy pockets inside the main compartment are non existent. Also the insulated area is barely big enough to fit a standard plastic water bottle so forget about using it for anything other than that. The âshoe compartmentâ could maybe fit one shoeâ¦itâs more like a slipper compartment. Still seems like a good quality bag but itâs misleading in the photos, and definitely NOT worth 200+ dollarsâ¦there are better higher quality bags on the market for this price point.
