OGIO International Ruck 20 Laptop Backpack

This backpack is my favorite due to its durability and overall design. I bought the same exact one twice to replace my older one which eventually wore down over several years, but Im happy to say the quality hasnt changed at all.

At first I was disappointed because it looked too big. Im 53 and I thought it looked the size of a real overnight backpack. Its very slender and yet can hold my 13 laptop inside a protective case in the laptop pouch. I stashed 2 notebooks and a paper calendar in the second pouch. My office keys, house keys, and lanyard in outside zip pouch. Wallet, cell phone, pens, and eye glass case in larger zippered area. It looks as professional as a backpack can look without being leather. And much lighter in weight than leather. Very pleased so far (after 2 days of use).

I was in need of a large laptop backpack for my hefty 17.3 laptop, Asus G75VW. This was a very decently priced backpack that fit my laptop inside with ease and much room to spare. It doesnt fit in the back pocket, which I assumed was for laptops, but it fits inside the bag anyhow. Theres not as much pockets as most backpacks Im used to, but I like that. It gives the bag a more simple, minimalistic look. The pockets it has is more than enough for everything I carry. This backpack is very light. It has a very nice neutral gray color on the outer layer with a rather odd reddish/orangish inner layer. I guess it gives it a bit of color. It can carry quite a bit. To my unexpected delight, I managed to fit a large watermelon inside when I needed to carry it. Im very happy with my purchase.

I had been looking around for a small sized backpack that I could use as my day-to-day bag for college when I came across the Covert. It seemed to be what I was after, though there was not quite the level of detail I wanted to confirm that it could actually hold the bare essentials I needed. Seeing as it was in many ways the best, I took the plunge and ordered it several months ago. I will first say what I was hoping someone would mention: Yes, this backpack can hold a decent amount of notebooks and files, as well as a thin laptop (think Macbook air or ultrabook thickness). The pictures do it more justice than I can write here. The photos show the bag as fully loaded as I can, without it bulging awkwardly out. It has four Moleskine Cahier X-Large notebooks, a softcover 400 page textbook (thin pages), a Mead plastic file with around 80 pages of an engineering pad, an iPad mini, standard pens and calculator etc, and a Macbook Air. One of the images shows the bag with the aforementioned items, but placed inside a Northface Jester II backpack, to illustrate the massive size difference. It can comfortably hold around 5 thin notebooks as a maximum, with a Macbook Air in the sleeve. For another reference, without a laptop, I managed to fit a three semester calculus book and its softcover solution manual within the pack, which pushed it to its extreme holding capacity. If you are inclined to carry any more than a single textbook, or more than a few notebooks or files, this might not be the best pack, but if most of your work is done on a (thin) laptop, with maybe some files and notebooks for class notes, this is the perfect lightweight backpack. Also, note that the bag is very rectangular, so anything that is not will fit poorly. Sweatshirts, lunch bags, and so on are not really something you can use with this, unless they are the only thing you put in it. This is also a poor fit if youd like to carry mass market paperbacks around (due to the thickness constraint). I have been using it almost daily both for class, and now for an internship, and it has held up without any visible wear. It is apparent that Ogio cheaped out on the zipper pulls, making them out of plastic that would definitely break if you yanked on them, but as long as you are conscious of their fallibility they should hold up. I have not had any issues with them so far. For the select few who can rely more on digital than paper, but still need to takes notes and have some scratch paper, I would highly recommend this backpack.

I use this backpack for transporting my laptop when I travel on planes. Its easy to open for inspection and very durable. Also like the metal handle.

I had a crappy old skate backpack Id been using for literally 15 years, and I finally upgraded. I love this thing. Really perfect for books, notebooks, computer and computer accessories, phone charger, etc. It is a pretty vertical space, so it can get a little cluttered if youre packing a bunch of clothes or whatever, but you can just stack them vertically. I really, really like it. It looks good, holds my 18-ounce water bottle perfectly, and feels great on my back. Awesome.

I travel a lot and have an MSI gaming laptop. It fits perfectly in this backpack with plenty of room for me to pack stuff in. Very durable and lightweight even with my heavy laptop. Highly reccommend

I love this back pack. I cant say much other than I really like the bucket/flap design and it has lasted me a long time! Will definitely purchase again if this one gives out- but its going strong and shows no sign of wear!

I wanted a rucksack for work that was smart, did not look like a sports bag, had some compartment organization but flexible use. The Ogio Ruck20 is perfect! Well made, simple, great materials (love the scarlet red lining) and comfortable to wear. I can carry personal items, wallet, phone etc, a laptop, ipad, some files & lunch but isnt too big or bulky. I have had many compliments on this new bag from others. Looks good and does a great job. Would reccomend.

Mesh zippered pockets inside. Padded compartments for large laptop and tablet.
