MARK RYDEN Casual Top Flap Backpack,25-36L Expandable Backpack Anti-Theft Hydrophobic Fabric Fits 17.3 Computer,Separate Shoe Compartment With USB charging port

My next plane trip is still a few months away, but I did try out this backpack to see how well my laptop fits. It fit perfectly in the inner pocket with a reasonable amount of space for different sized laptops, and theres a velcro strap to prevent it from slipping out and shifting about. Theres a lot of material between the outside of the bag and the bottom of the laptop pouch, but I would probably still be overly cautious and stuff a folded-up hand towel in the bottom. The top zips shut, rolls up, and buckles quickly and securely. The reverse is also quick, but the magnetically attached buckles still resist unintentional opening like they should. The exterior is very sleek, and I ran some water over the corner to verify that its water resistant. There are lots of pockets, one of which is for a power bank so that you can charge an electronic device by plugging it into the backpack. It tried it out and it worked with my smartphone. The shoulder straps feel comfortable. I think its a very nice laptop bag.

This is a nice looking, well built pack with a premium feel. The roll top design gives it a lot of expandability, there are plenty of pockets it appears that it should be relatively durable. I havent taken it in the rain, but it certainly appears its going to be quite water resistant. Not as much as a true dry bag, since it still has flaps and zippers, but Id be confident for rain showers and the like. The USB / Micro USB port is a nice touch, with its own internal wiring and a place to put your battery bank. No USB-C, however. The main downside to roll top design packs (not specific to this one) are that your main access is from the top, so if you use it for packing clothes and gear youre going to be digging down through the top opening to get to everything. These types of packs dont clamshell open. There is a large zipper on the side of this pack that will give you access to gear or let you slide in a large laptop without having to open the top. On the other hand, you can unroll the top of the pack and easily carry items that are quite long or bulky or fit in dirty clothes that seem to double in size vs. when they were clean. The straps are very comfortable, though theyre not exceptionally thick especially where theyre sewn into the main body of the pack. As long as youre not overloading the pack I think it should be fine, but I wouldnt have minded seeing some extra thickness to the straps in this area. Overall this is a very nice looking pack which appears best suited to travel, day-packing, office or school use, etc. and will give you a lot of options for storage and some protection from the rain.

Amazing bag, fully recommended!

This is an amazing bag for commuting, whether by train or bike, and any walking in between. It fits my Macbook Pro, with plenty of space for my iPad, Switch, chargers/cords, headphones, notebooks, planner, pens, as well as my wallet, snacks, any other items I need for the day. I could use it as a weekend bag, would fit 2-3 days of clothes, but this is not what I wanted it for. This bag is extremely secure, which is exciting if you are on trains, in crowds, or on a bike while getting to work. Your items will stay well protected, from people and the elements. It can be secured to fit your body with a low profile, and not slide while on on a bike. It feels like it will be easy to clean and touch up, but Ill report back if thats not the case. The side pockets fit large water bottles (1 L, CamelBak bottles, etc.), and I appreciate there being two pockets for them. I like having my water bottle plus tea or another beverage. It can be hard to find water bottle slots that are big and secure enough for larger size bottles. Theres enough separate places for small items, wallet, etc. and I think the charger is a fantastic feature. Fully loaded, its comfortable to wear and easy to adjust. It is sturdy and made well, fits a lot, yet is remarkably not bulky. The fact I can wear it as a backpack or hold like a briefcase is nice. Overall, I really like how this looks and its function is exactly what I needed.
