Lowepro RidgeLine BP 250 AW - A 24L Daypack with Dedicated Device Storage for a 15 Laptop and 10 Tablet

Material is and workmanship are good, but the design is poor. Here are the areas that should have been designed better: 1. No small, zippered storage (for things like SD cards and USB drives). There is small storage pockets, and larger zippered storage pockets, but no small and zippered. 2. Grab handle is very thin, like something you might expect to find on a basic grocery bag. Its as if they forgot to put a grab handle on this backpack and then at the last minute just tacked on whatever handle they happened to have lying around. Its thin and has absolutely no cushioning for comfort. Not sure about its strength. Seems ok strong and attached, but Im not risking my stuff to test its limits. 3. Laptop and tablet compartments do not have something like a velcro strap to keep the item in place. You just slide in, slide out. Yes, the entire compartment is zippered at the backpack level, but still, they should not be allowed to slide around within that compartment like that. Not when its pretty trivial to add a strap to prevent it. 4. No cushioning or heavier duty, wear resistent material (e.g. rubber or thicker material) on the bottom, as protection when you set the backpack down vertically. My Targus backpack from 10 yrs ago had this, but this Lowepro does not. I do like the slim, compact size and shape at least. Overall, its not bad, just ok. But I think there are better alternatives out there. I do like Lowepro stuff in general and have a couple of Lowepro camera bags that were great, so I had high hopes. But this is a big disappointment. Update: After using this a few times, Im upping my review from 3 stars to 4. Despite its shortcomings, it does work reasonably well. The compact size and shape are nice, as are the light weight and the protective eyeglass holder. I may have judged it a bit harshly because I had high expectations. It could/should be better, but I would say in absolute terms, its not too shabby.

Bought this to replace a more formal satchel type laptop bag for work but with everything I need to carry (not just laptop and charger) it was a pain, so I went for something I could carry on my back that wouldnt slip off my shoulder. It does exactly what it is designed to, is comfy, and has enough space. I reckon I could easily use it as a weekend bag too as it looks great, and would go with a more casual style. No regrets, great bag.

I usually tend to not give 5 stars for a product, but I really do love this pack. It is perfect for my needs. When buying something like this without seeing it in person, you really never know what youre going to get. I was already somewhat familiar with Lowepros camera bags and their build quality, and it appears to have carried over to their other day/back packs as well. It really is superb quality. The zippers are very solid, stitching is great, and the soft fabric they used for the device/glasses pocket is a nice touch. Great job Lowepro!

Very organized bag! Easy to take tablets and laptops out and show what’s in your bag if asked at the airport!

Love the bag, hate the color orange. Went out of my way to blackout the orange parts with angelus acrilic paint. A couple of passes and the bag is looking good!

Good quality laptop bag but a bit on the small side. Returned for the 300AW

My last business traveler was a bit wider than this one and didnt fit very well under airline seats now that they have added power boxes there. This pack is very well made and has lots of compartments for storage. The only thing that didnt fit was my big Sony noise canceling ear muffs--I replaced them with an ANC neck band with ear buds. I dont miss my SwissGear pack at all.

This bag is a bargain. Good quality material, loads of pockets. The waist strap can be hidden and can also be placed over a luggage handle like a laptop case. It has a hard case so sunglasses can be stored, two side pockets , one with a Key chain. A bottle holder and compression straps. A internal rain cover is also provided The camo colour is cheaper than the black by about £30 so was a bargain Ive had a rucksack form this company before and its still going, so expect this to be the same! My back got a bit hot and sweaty on a 12 mile cycle, but was expected as its high padded. Not designed for Cycling as it sits snug against the back. Rucksacks with Vent frames are better suited for that purpose, so its not a fault with this rucksack

Lowepro, the best brand for camera gear, gave us a backpack with amazing specs, water resistant, water resistant cover included too, space for carrying a 15 laptop, a 10“ tablet, books, notebooks, pens and a rigid cover for your glasses or small electronics. Is not the best option for camera however you can get a camera insert bag, it can holds a DSL camera and two lens and still can handle more space for more stuff. If you want to keep clothing instead of electronics it can holds like 4 pair of jeans, 3 t shirts, and a pair of shoes

Great bag exactly as described!
