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)

Had this bag for two months now, and taken it on two trips. I live in the big apple, so I need a laptop bag that can store a lot of things. Its great for safeguarding up to two laptops inside the laptop compartment, and has enough pockets for enough things. I also like the water resistant aspect of it, though I will say that if you’re riding the subway during the summer like me, and if you have a short sleeve shirt and you have your bag on your lap, after a while, it does start getting sweaty - with your sweat sticking to the bag. It’s also noticeable, and might sound like TMI, but thought you should know anyway. I also like the “security” hidden picket it has, and that can be helpful when traveling. Besides that, it’s great and durable and I’m happy with it. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it only has one side pocket (right side), and since I carry my bag over my right shoulder, I have to remove the bag to access the little side pocket - on the opposite side. Aside from that, I would recommend it - and it looks like it’ll last a long time. I’m impressed with the craftsmanship and the only concern I have is if the exterior shell (plastic like) is going to last or if it can get torn. Overall, I would recommend this bag, and I’m very happy with it.

It feels premium. The material is great and it has a lot of storage for a full mobile office setup with lots of pockets to store all the essentials and more.

This backpack sits lower on my back because its longer than most school packpacks. It has some unusual locations for pockets but its very likeable. Good looking too.

Picked it up before going on a month trip to Colorado. It’s plenty large for my gaming laptop, iPad, notebooks, and college books. It has plenty of separators so each thing doesn’t get scratched. Another cool feature is the charger port so I can plug in whenever, wherever. I’ve had three people tell me not to put it down because I might not get it back. Needless to say, most people really dig it.

This is a cheap bag, Ill start there. But design wise its really well thought out. If they gave it a frame sheet, changed the material to something slightly better and fixed the front access pocket so the zipper went the other way, this could give any $300 backpack a run for its money. It held a surprising amount of stuff that an equal volume sized Bellroy couldnt.

The bag can hold so much without breaking and so many pockets I enjoy this bag.

I love the bag would definitely recommend to others my only issue was the lack of color options if it was red I would have bought more

One of the best Backpacks I’ve ever used until now. In my view it’s way better than many big brands out there. I traveled internally twice with this bag and It’s just flawless. I would recommend this. Plus : Great on storage : from laptop to sunglasses. Compartments: a lot pockets to store your stuff and good for people who like more pockets.

Already bought another model of the same and really liked it. I just wanted to see how this one is and really, i liked this one as well. Strong and smooth zips. Good finishing and good product!

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.
