Greater than one week***photos taken after 3 years of moderate-heavy use*** I purchased this bag in 2020 (three years ago) since then, I have taken it on international flights twice and all over the states. I flew about every other week with this bag for a year and never had an issue. I have overstuffed this bag endlessly and it is still in amazing shape (see pictures). It can fit a Lenovo Legion, 16 MacBook Pro, 13 MacBook Air, 10 iPad Pro, Nintendo switch and all their changers, mouses, and accessories with room for headphones, wallet, smart phone, and various receipts, masks, and papers. This bag has been used as a personal item on Spirit, United, Delta, Southwest, KLM, TAP Portugal, and American Airlines, it has ridden with me on trains across Italy, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands, and was carried around cities for weeks on end while traveling for work. The only problem I have ever had is the zipper splitting, which was fixed by manually re-threading it on the broken side. I have spilled coffee, soup, and other foods on this bag and nothing has ever stained. I used this bag as a messenger/shoulder bag mostly with some use over a rolling carry on and never had a problem with the straps. This bag has endless pockets and storage making it perfect for long trips and keeping things organized. I would recommend this bag to anyone looking for a multi-purpose travel, work, and laptop bag. Summary: Pros -Tons of space -Lots of pockets for storage and organization -Very durable -Easy to clean Cons -Zipper had to be rethreaded once in 3 years

> 3 dayThe bag is very nice, almost perfect, and better quality than I expected to be honest. Quick and to point is this: the bag has more significant materials than I would have guessed, and its basically just like the bag you see in the pictures. At this price I expected to find a small box with a rolled up, abysmally strewn together bag, made of materials so thin and cheap that my mind would boggle. But that was not the case at all, instead it is a nicer product than I had imagined it could be at this price. The size and fit of it is perfect for my 15.6 clevo P650RS-G laptop and accessories, except there is not a single pocket that will fit the power supply for my laptop without bending the cable where it exits the power adapter at what I consider an inappropriate angle, but its a monster 230ish watt power supply, a normal laptop power supply shouldnt have any issues I would imagine. The material feels pretty nice as far as I can tell, and overall the bag is made of as heavy weight of a fabric as I expected by looking at the pictures, which is nice. Interior padding for a laptop is almost perfect, but I would like to see better padding on the bottom of the bag, as there is not much at all there. For me, im using a laptop sleeve inside the bag, and its effectively just a part of the bag for me, the laptop slides in and out without needing to ever remove the sleeve from the bag. I cant really tell if the leather is actual leather, I didnt think so at first, because its too smooth and shiny, but the soft grain side sure feels nice, so i just dont know. Also, the leather straps feel stretchy and weak, but that is not really a bad thing because they are not really structural. Now for the bad news. The zipper seems pretty okay, probably as good as most bags, seems better than a bad zipper, but it certainly isnt a nice, quality zipper. I think keeping in mind that the zipper is not a YKK should be enough to make the zipper last a long time. The big complaint I have, is that one of the zippered pockets, on the front of the bag, has its pocket liner sewn into the seem of the bag, making the pocket effectively 70% smaller and being an awkward shape inside, so basically its not much good. If it was not for this defect, I would have given this 5 stars, because while there are some things that could be improved to make it a bag that would be able to last most people many years of use, the way it is configured seems perfectly acceptable and actually a very good quality for the price, and I would highly reccomend it. If they come out with a similar bag, with really nice YKK or comparable zippers, and more robust storage options inside the pockets, with some padding on the bottom of the bag, and some slightly better stitching, maybe doubling up on the stitching at some key spots, then to me that would a perfect bag that would be worthy of a nice price premium over this current one, but again, this bag is really pretty alright all around.

> 3 dayThis laptop bag has been the single most useful piece of luggage that I was brought with me to Europe. Airlines count it as a personal item even though it can fit as much as a backpack. The ability to switch from a shouder carry strap to a backpack has been immensely useful while traveling on public transit. The fact that the shoulder straps can all be stowed in the bag itself means that switching methods of carrying the bag are easy and fast. Fun tip: If you find yourself somewhere prone to rain (most of Europe) you can fit a full size umbrella down the middle of where the shoulder straps are stowed and it holds it perfectly with the handle sticking out just a bit above your head. The quality is yet to be fully tested, but it has held up pretty well to some pretty intense travelling so far. I have seen a few loose stitches, but they dont seem to be super integral to the structure of the bag. There are pockets for everything! Plenty of space for spare batteries, papers, receipts, personal items, and more. This seriously kept me more organized than normal, by providing specific pockets for specific things.

> 3 dayFrom the moment I took this bag out of the shipping box, I was excited. There arent many products that I can say I picked up and immediately felt had excellent craftsmanship, but this was one. Its stylish, durable, and can hold a truly surprising amount. The ability to switch between backpack and messenger bag has been helpful many times, and the transition is easy enough to do in under 30 sec. I love how well-padded the laptop portion is; it has a blue ridged foam panel on one side and sufficient padding on the other side and bottom for the laptop to be protected. I just recently returned a backpack and ordered a padded laptop sleeve for another bag because I couldnt find one that felt secure enough, but this bag I feel very confident in. There are 9 (yes, NINE) pockets accessible from the outside, and some smaller pockets inside the main laptop compartment as well that easily hold pens/cords/accessories as well. On any given day Im able to fit a gaming laptop, a ~1 in. thick cooling fan stand, a large power cord (if you have a gaming laptop, you know how big those power bricks can get), a mouse, an external hard drive, several charging cords and portable power banks, a wallet, misc. items like hand sanitizer/hand cream etc., a pair of folded over-ear headphones, a small notebook, and a novel in this bag and it doesnt even feel strained. Full, but not strained. The weight distribution in the straps is excellent; an amount of items that would feel heavy in another backpack feels secure and even lighter in this one. The material seems somewhat water-resistant - I havent tested it and dont really want to risk trying, but if I got caught in a drizzle I wouldnt panic. Overall, I would recommend this bag a thousand times over, and Im hoping to keep it for a long time!

Greater than one weekI bought this bag to years ago in April because my role at work changed, and I am now traveling a lot more. I tend to fly at least 2-3 weeks per month. I have carried as many as 3 laptops in it, a tablet, four or five yellow legal pads, bags of candy, several chargers, etc. (I dont travel light.) It gets jammed under the seat in the airplane, sat on, and abused in general. Im a big guy and honestly very rough on things, so I tend to destroy lower quality things. Overall this bag has done very well for the price. I was in Pittsburgh this week and the zipper on one of the front pockets failed (it became detached). In the picture you can see the black safety pins I got at Wally World to close the pocket for the trip home. I could possibly fix it, but I notice theres a small split on the seam at the top of the bag, some of the little pleather strips have torn off, and one of the two main zippers acts wonky. Honestly, this bag goes almost everywhere I go. If I am away from home more than a few hours its in the trunk of the car, so it gets a lot of use, and there have been times its been jam packed. Overall, for what I paid, I am very happy with it, and if I replace it every two years, thats fine with me. Real travel bags can be $400 or more. I am very happy with this one. I looked at a swiss gear backpack, but the volume was 33 L, the volume on this is 44 liters. I cant imagine going to a smaller bag. This bag holds a LOT. In terms of looks, I think it looks fine. People are surprised when they see its both a backpack and a messenger bag, but, honestly, its black and draws no attention, which is fine by me. Even though its been beaten to hell, I think it still gives a professional appearance. It certainly doesnt look like a $45 bag. I came here to order another one and just thought Id do a quick review. I would suggest this bag to anybody who travels a lot and likes to carry a lot with them.

26-04-2025I bought this bag before I bought the cooling fan my Laptop sits on. I was happy to see this bag even had a pouch for it as well. Storing the power cord is a bit sketchy but it still has a place for that thing too. Backpack straps, a Shoulder strap and even has a regular handle style as well. This bag even has a place to stash an umbrella as well. I highly recommend this thing to anyone looking for a bag to store a Laptop in.
