Almost perfect!
4 Stars
Almost perfect!
Almost perfect! When I flew on one of Spirit's new airplanes with hard back seats my old Swissgear backpack wouldn't fit, It was also getting long in the tooth being 6 years old at this point. So went down the rabbit hole and found this backpack. Happy I did.First, love the yellow color of this backpack! It's tied with my favorite color (navy blue) and was happy to find a backpack in this color. The layout is GREAT too. Holds so much stuff in it. I didn't realize it from the pictures that there's actually a front side pocket that holds a lot there in addition to the smaller front pocket. Only layout change I'd make was putting a pocket on the other side of the laptop compartment, seems like a waste of space there. Love the hooks on the straps. With my old backpack I had a Caribeener Clip on the front I used to keep a travel day pack on so when I walked it'd be on the back. I was always nervous about it falling off (did once) I was happy to see these hooks on the straps. I put 2 Caribeener Hooks on them, and walking in Philly with the travel bag in the front was so nice. Layout wise, this backpack gets a 4.5/5 rating from me. If they add that pocket, it'd get a 5/5 haha.Now the cons of this backpack. I like how the top 2 zippers have the lock spots on the zipper if you want that. Wished on the 3rd zipper had it too, as I'm sure people would like to secure stuff there also. One thing I did notice was the zippers and straps are def weaker then my old backpack. They're def way easier to open, doesn't feel as secure to my old one. The straps seem easier to come loose too, one did when I was on my flight back home and I went to grab it to put it on getting off. It's possible I loosened it during the flight, so not totally blaming the company there.The next con is quality control with this company. The first backpack I got the USB charging port was completely blocked off by plastic (as shown in one of the pics). Back it went for a replacement. The second one I got the port did work, but was def finicky plugging in the cable to it. There was a sale so back this went and got a third one, and finally this one was perfect. If they improve that, I'd bring up my rating to a 4.5/5 for this backpack. As it stands, still a 4/5.While traveling I put down this backpack kinda hard on hardwood floors. The next time I turned on my MacBook Air M1 (2020) I had a bleeding blob screen defect on my laptop. I don't think that would have happened with my old backpack. Opened it a couple days later, and the blob def changed and is now for the most part gone. But I don't trust the padding in this backpack anymore, so bought a shock absorbent sleeve to travel with using this new backpack.On my return flight home I flew in one of those hard back seats I was talking about earlier. Didn't even realize it at first, so I was super happy to see the new backpack fit no problem (as shown in one of the pics)! My old backpack wouldn't have haha. I'm curious with my new thicker shock absorbent sleeve will work, so I'll report back if it it doesn't.This backpack could easily be a 5/5 rating. If they make the improvements I suggested (stronger zippers, straps, another set of locks on the 3rd zipper, another pocket, more padding it'd get that rating. But because of where it stands now with their QC issues, I stand by my 4/5 rating. Def keeping this backpack for my travels though.

Size: 15.6 InchColor: Austere GreyVerified Purchase
I have had this backpack for over two years and it still looks new. I am self-employed and work from home or a co-working office so I pack up my "office" into this backpack and take it with me every single day. This has a crazy amount of pockets and storage. Everything is easily accessible and nicely organized. My MacBook Air literally lives in this bag and has never been scratched or damaged. Comfortable straps with no signs of tearing or separating at the shoulder. My last backpack had the strap start to fall off in a year which is why I bought this one. At this rate it will last me 5+ years I'm sure. I've gone on at least a dozen flights with it and it is a great carryon/personal item.

I have seen other people with this same backpack at airports and it definitely seems to be a popular choice. Even if it did get worn out in the future I for sure would buy it again.

Needed a replacement bag for work so I bought this. I have absolutely no regret and would strongly recommend its purchase. The bag has lots of useful compartments - emphasis on lots. It even seems to expand when alot of things are added. It has a very comfortable feel on the back and some how feels light even though its full. The bag helps with better organization and it has different and convenient ways to move around with it. Overall it is an amazing purchase. Just unfortunate I took so long to replace my old bag.

This backpack is by far the most spacious one I have ever owned. You can fit so much in it and the padding still makes it very comfortable to wear. I love the laptop pouch, gives me peace if mind knowing that my laptop won't get scratched or dented. My one and only complaint is that the water bottle holders are a little bit small, I can still fit my hydroflask in it but you do have to cram it in, other then that it is a perfect backpack that I would recommend to anyone, especially college students!

Size: 15.6 InchColor: Grey and Black CamoVerified Purchase
Honestly, this backpack is so completely deserving of 5 stars that it makes me question other 5-star ratings I've given in the past -- I guess you could say the bar has been raised! And I say that even as there's one smallish detail that I personally don't love (but you might), which I'll come back to... but still, even more than I thought possible, I absolutely love this backpack!

To get at least a general idea of why, browse to the Austere Grey 15.6" and check out the 7th image, actually a video. To that, I would just add...
- There are perfect-sized mesh drink-holder type pockets on *both* sides (because why do some manufacturers skimp even on that?!)
- The ring he hooks keys to has a quick-release button built in, as well! which also snaps really nicely back into place... It really is the little things!
- And just to highlight, for the external USB port, there's a built-in cable on the inside you can plug your USB charger into, which connects to the external port you can leave your phone / whatever connected to without having to open any pockets (and here again the mesh pockets on both sides comes in handy). And of and when you don't want to use that, there's no real downside: the built-in cable is completely out of the way, and you won't likely even notice the external port, which BTW doesn't appear to negate the overall "seal" of the thing either, except *maybe* if you were to hold the entire thing underwater. :)

The one smallish detail I would change, though, is that external port: it just happens to be USB-A while I'd prefer USB-C, for quicker charging... obviously not the hugest issue, and some might even prefer it that way. Personally, I'm seriously considering a bit of after-market "surgery" to "fix" this, which likely translates to having a pro unstitch and remove the port & internal cable, then stitch a (possibly 3D-printed?) replacement port into place. I wouldn't normally even consider that sort of "headache," but when the backpack overall is easily nicer than anything else I've found, even for 2x or 3x the price, it's suddenly really easy to make an exception.

What else...
- Something like 15 pockets? Which almost sounds overboard, but it's really not. Many are "optional" & otherwise out of the way, anyway -- just really well-distributed storage goodness! Oh, and the pen holders actually (easily) fit my completely normal-sized pens, unlike the new LL Bean bag I so promptly returned after getting this one. And the "security pocket" on the bottom, the side facing you as your wear it? Absolutely genius!
- The zippers having been what finally gave out on the 20+ year old LL Bean bag I replaced, I'm a bit more conscious now of "initial zipper quality," and these seem just as solid as they come: totally sturdy, while also zipping surprisingly nicely & smoothly :) But perhaps that's a moot point anyway, considering the...
- LIFETIME GUARANTEE! I hadn't realized this until mine arrived, but there's a card inside that says you can replace for any defect, for life!
- The sizes refer to the size of laptop that would easily fit inside. That said, even a 17" laptop might still fit inside my 15.6" bag, just pretty snugly, but I wouldn't chance it.
- if you do a lot of traveling, you might also want to consider the max size of a "personal item" on your favorite airline(s)...
- The 14" is 16 x 12 x 7.5 inches
- The 15.6" is 18 x 12 x 7.8 inches
- The 17" is 19 x 13.75 x 7.8 inches
- The 18" is... not sure! (but apparently those can actually fit up to an 18.4" laptop, which is huge!)

For reference, a free "personal item" on JetBlue is up to 17 x 13 x 8 inches, making even the 15.6" technically the tiniest bit too large, but that said I'd be absolutely shocked if even the 17" got so much as a second glance on 1/100 flights (maybe a little more likely if you're flying on Spirit or Frontier, in which case WTH were you thinking, anyway?). In any case, the 17" would almost certainly fit under any seat, even on the most budget of "budget" airlines.

TL;DR: I very rarely review anything, and I'm also not one to own multiple backpacks, especially not "just 'cause," but these are so perfect, not to mention affordable, that I've found myself happily doing both!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really & truly *excellent*
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2023
Honestly, this backpack is so completely deserving of 5 stars that it makes me question other 5-star ratings I've given in the past -- I guess you could say the bar has been raised! And I say that even as there's one smallish detail that I personally don't love (but you might), which I'll come back to... but still, even more than I thought possible, I absolutely love this backpack!

To get at least a general idea of why, browse to the Austere Grey 15.6" and check out the 7th image, actually a video. To that, I would just add...
- There are perfect-sized mesh drink-holder type pockets on *both* sides (because why do some manufacturers skimp even on that?!)
- The ring he hooks keys to has a quick-release button built in, as well! which also snaps really nicely back into place... It really is the little things!
- And just to highlight, for the external USB port, there's a built-in cable on the inside you can plug your USB charger into, which connects to the external port you can leave your phone / whatever connected to without having to open any pockets (and here again the mesh pockets on both sides comes in handy). And of and when you don't want to use that, there's no real downside: the built-in cable is completely out of the way, and you won't likely even notice the external port, which BTW doesn't appear to negate the overall "seal" of the thing either, except *maybe* if you were to hold the entire thing underwater. :)

The one smallish detail I would change, though, is that external port: it just happens to be USB-A while I'd prefer USB-C, for quicker charging... obviously not the hugest issue, and some might even prefer it that way. Personally, I'm seriously considering a bit of after-market "surgery" to "fix" this, which likely translates to having a pro unstitch and remove the port & internal cable, then stitch a (possibly 3D-printed?) replacement port into place. I wouldn't normally even consider that sort of "headache," but when the backpack overall is easily nicer than anything else I've found, even for 2x or 3x the price, it's suddenly really easy to make an exception.

What else...
- Something like 15 pockets? Which almost sounds overboard, but it's really not. Many are "optional" & otherwise out of the way, anyway -- just really well-distributed storage goodness! Oh, and the pen holders actually (easily) fit my completely normal-sized pens, unlike the new LL Bean bag I so promptly returned after getting this one. And the "security pocket" on the bottom, the side facing you as your wear it? Absolutely genius!
- The zippers having been what finally gave out on the 20+ year old LL Bean bag I replaced, I'm a bit more conscious now of "initial zipper quality," and these seem just as solid as they come: totally sturdy, while also zipping surprisingly nicely & smoothly :) But perhaps that's a moot point anyway, considering the...
- LIFETIME GUARANTEE! I hadn't realized this until mine arrived, but there's a card inside that says you can replace for any defect, for life!
- The sizes refer to the size of laptop that would easily fit inside. That said, even a 17" laptop might still fit inside my 15.6" bag, just pretty snugly, but I wouldn't chance it.
- if you do a lot of traveling, you might also want to consider the max size of a "personal item" on your favorite airline(s)...
- The 14" is 16 x 12 x 7.5 inches
- The 15.6" is 18 x 12 x 7.8 inches
- The 17" is 19 x 13.75 x 7.8 inches
- The 18" is... not sure! (but apparently those can actually fit up to an 18.4" laptop, which is huge!)

This backpack was wonderful for traveling. I used it as my personal item. Fits on your suitcase handle. Lots of pockets, lots of room for items. Great item and quality. I would buy again. Has two water bottle holders. Has a pocket for your back that you can add items you don’t want stolen
