MARK RYDEN Business Backpack for Men, Waterproof High Tech Backpack with Sport Car Shape Design and USB Charging Port, Travel Laptop Backpack Fits 17.3 Inch Notebook (YKK-3 Pockets)

Is amazing, the quality and details are beautiful.

Great backpack for a great price. Better than expected. Everything I wanted in a backpack for traveling.

I looked for a backpack that fit this criteria for a long time: Looks modern, Fits all my stuff (Im a full time college student with tons of books and a 15 inch MacBook), and has enough pockets for me to organize. The three piece version of this backpack is absolutely perfect. It looks modern and sleek, its high quality, and its easy to get to. The primary pocket (middle pocket) opens up almost 180 degrees which was a nice surprise. The ONLY complaint I have is that it is easy to see oil smudges on this material but it is an easy tradeoff for the waterproof aspect. I would definitely buy again, no question.

I loved this bag and thought I had found a durable bag to fit my work and life demands. Water resistant...yep. Travel friendly...sure, I wish the pockets were a little more roomy but I was able to make it work for my needs and it was nice to carry it for the time that I got to...until I couldnt! Of all things. the zipper started pulling away from the material and would not go closed!! I stopped using it cause I was afraid it would continue to pull apart with each open and close! For the durability they spoke about in the videos and such, this was very disappointing!! Dont know that I would buy again or another product from this line. Makes me a little uneasy as I dont like to throw away money.

Mark Ryden carries both the most versatile traveling bags and the best looking ones. I was far from disappointed with my purchase of this backpack, and though there are a few parts that weren’t to my expectation, my overall experience is worth the five stars. First, let’s just gaze at the design. You’ll feel real good wearing this wherever you go. It’s almost silky to the touch and repels water like it’s allergic to it. No complaints here whatsoever. The inside is where the true magic lives. You have three fair-sized compartments and four smaller storages, so you don’t have to worry about space. I was shocked by how much room I had when I stuffed all my books and devices in there, and it felt comfortable wearing it the whole way to lecture. I will say that, as with any backpack, considerable weight will surely be felt on the shoulders, but unless you plan to carry bricks all the time, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Finally, my critics: the cup holder and laptop compartment. The cup holder looks nice and adds to the aesthetic of the backpack, but sometimes it’s a hassle squeezing my cup (a typical 8 oz) into the pocket. It requires quite the angle to get the sucker in; it’s much easier having more of a net style like other backpacks BUT it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for Mark Ryden. The laptop compartment is self-explanatory: too big. I thought my 14” laptop would be at least somewhat snug but it’s just too small. If you have a bigger laptop, I wouldn’t fret it much, and even though mine doesn’t fit like I want it, there’s still padding in place to protect it. All in all, I believe it’s worth 5 stars. I’ve had it for over a month I believe and it’s hardly developed a scratch.

great look and design just expect zipper to catch and /or break ive had three of these backpacks and zippers just arent quality

Who is Markryden and how did he make a business backpack thats so awesome? I travel for work, usually just an overnight trip but sometimes can go 2-3 nights. I attend business meetings, so a suit and dress shirts have to be packed. I can be wearing the backpack with casual or suit attire. I have a technical job and like tech, so I need lots of pockets for my laptop, dongles, notebook, pens, charger, cables, external harddrive, external battery pack, extra chargers, earphones, water bottle and misc documents. Everything must fit in the pack, no extra suitcase or duffel. Sometimes I leave my clothes in the hotel but still need to use the backpack as a day pack, and it shouldnt look massive when theres only a laptop and a handful of cables inside. These were my requirements for a backpack, and I did a ton of research. I have no concern for price, Im looking for function. If it can meet the needs I wrote above, I dont care if I have to spend $500. I bought and tested the Aer Travel Pack 2, Arcido Oxna, GoRuck GR1, Black Emblem Citadel R2, Knack Medium Expandable Knack Pack, OpposeThis Invisible, Peak Design Travel 45L Backpack, and of course the Markryden 3 pocket Travel Backpack. Very rarely is the most affordable option also the best one. I was really really impressed with this backpack, but I must say I didnt test all the backpacks very long so I dont know how well its going to hold up. It is the most functional though, and while not perfect, it checks all my boxes. Things I like -I can fit 1 suit, underwear, socks, PJs, 2 dress shirts, sweater, and small toiletries bag in the main compartment. Still room left in the other 2 compartments for my cables and laptop. -The main clothes compartment has smaller pockets for whatever you feel like putting there, which is really nice. It doesnt take any more room but its so nice to have it when needed (Arcido, Knack, and Black Ember dont have as many pockets in main compartment). -I think it looks nice when wearing casual or professional attire. Can pass as a regular day pack without question. Even when fully loaded, still not too bad. The Peak Design backpack looks like youre carrying half a house in it. -All the smaller compartments and pockets make it really easy for me to store everything I need in a manner thats clean and tidy. No one giant pocket of doom where everything goes into (Im looking at you GoRuck GR1). -When theres nothing in the main compartment, the bag naturally slims down as it doesnt maintain its expanded shape (Arcido, Peak, GoRuck, Black Emblem all stay expanded). -Its comfortable to wear, but I must say I dont typically wear my backpack for very long. The longest Ill wear it is when Im walking from the parking lot of the airport to my gate. -The zippers are surprisingly smooth, quiet and seem waterproof. Not sure what kind as they just say Markryden on them. All the other packs have YKK zippers that are supposed to be high end, but can be much louder to open. -Water bottle pocket sits flush on the side but a regular water bottle fits in nicely. Larger flasks wont fit. -Built in compass! Is it just me or is it awesome to have when youre in a new town, looking at Google Maps on how to walk to a nearby restaurant and you have no idea if youre supposed to go right or left from the hotel? -This pack is fairly light weight. Theres no actual weight on the amazon page, but Im estimating something like 2 lbs. Some backpacks are really heavy, like the GoRuck and Peak Design being above 3 lbs. Things I dont like -Im not crazy about the shiny Oxford fabric used on the outside. It feels a bit on the cheap side. Most of the other backpacks have Cordura 500-1000D which feels much nicer. This Oxford fabric isnt horrible, but it just seems like it could get scuffed easily and wont come off. -Laptop sleeve doesnt have a false bottom, which means the laptop is touching the bottom of the backpack where there isnt much cushion. If the backpack falls or you put it down quickly, it may damage the laptop. -I know I said I loved the pockets, but maybe too many?? Sometimes I forget which compartment and pocket I put something in. -I dont like the large branding on the front. I dont mind the small one on the top right, but the words MARK RYDEN going down the front of the backpack doesnt look very good to me. In the end, its a great backpack and I highly recommend it. If Markryden ever came out with the exactly same version but with a different fabric, Ill probably buy that too.

I had one of these for almost 8 years, and it finally just started to go from the wear and tear on the zipper so instead of trying to get it fixed at a high cost, I just got another one to replace it and I am once again so happy. The other lasted 8 years and still looks incredible through snow, rain, freezing, and hot. This product has a brilliant design, great space, and keeps all my electronics and art work safe.
