MATEIN Laptop Backpack 17 inch, Large Travel Backpacks for Men Oversized Airline Carry on Personal item Bag, Durable TSA Computer Bag Water Resistant Rucksuck for Work Gym Camping Hiking, Black

I needed a new travel backpack for work purposes. My trusty North Face bookbag went kaput after almost 15 years, so I needed something just as dependable. After an extensive search, I finally settled on this backpack and I think I made a great choice! Pros: Shoulder straps are comfortable A lot of room (compartments) Didnt know what a MOLLE system was before purchasing this bag - now I know Backpack material seems strong Water bottle pocket is a good size and easy to reach while backpack is on Cons: The back pocket zippers go all the way down to the end of the bag. I understand the purpose but it takes some getting used to so that you dont open the bag fully and your contents fall out The zipper pocket on the shoulder strap - wish it could have been larger Wish the zipper pulls were a little bit stronger, the string seems a bit flimsy. Maybe the string could have been heavier. Etc: I havent used this backpack on a rainy day yet, so no comment on its waterproof/water resistant abilities.

I really like the quality of this backpack. Its well made with strong zippers. The padded straps are so comfortable. It can hold a lot!

My 12 year old wants to be a Navy Seal, this is perfect. He loves it.

Pretty good quality, zippers could be better

Backpack is great, exactly what I was looking for. It is huge with tons of storage pockets. I was able to pack enough into it for an entire week long trip out of the country. It is comfortable to wear, but the only downside I could find was that it digs into the shoulders a bit when packed to the absolute max. Its been on two separate vacations and several day trips and still looks and feels brand new. It seems to be quite durable and will hold up for a long time.

I have been using this pack for carrying my laptop and tablet when I go to work. It also works as a field backpack at the end of the day when I go hiking. Its got plenty of room to carry everything I need. I love that it has so many pockets. I can find a place to stow all my gear. The only negative thing I can say is that I wish the bottom were padded like the back is. It would be nice to protect the laptop and other gear by having that padded bottom. I put a couple rolled up washcloths in the bottom of the laptop sleeve to add some extra padding. I am not always as careful as I should be when setting down the pack and I have a tendency to drop it to the ground without thinking. So, the padding is needed to protect the laptop and tablet. Other than that, the pack is really great. On the front there are two roomy pockets. There are Molle webs on both front pockets, so you can attach more gear if you have the proper Molle attachments. You can buy Molle pockets in many sizes to suit your needs, so this pack is expandable that way. There is a large pocket on the back for a laptop. It has a small sleeve inside, but that is what I use for my tablet. The larger pocket is where the laptop fits best, unless you have a small laptop. The smaller pocket is padded and doesnt go all the way to the bottom of the pack, so there is less chance of damaging your device if you drop the pack. The main compartment is huge and roomy. I can carry a couple big water bottles in there with no problem (64 ounce size). There are two outer pockets for water bottles. I fit a 32-ounce bottle in one of the pockets with no problem. There are padded straps that are wide enough not to cut into your shoulders. They are comfortable for hiking. The back of the pack also has padding for your shoulders and hips. The compartments on this pack all close with zippers and the zippers seem to function smoothly. I havent had any issues with the zippers getting stuck yet. So far, so good. Overall, I am very impressed with the quality of this pack and the amount of storage room it gives me. My only real complaint is the lack of padding on the bottom, especially on the compartment that holds the laptop. Otherwise, its an awesome pack.

Pockets in all the right places. Large enough for all of my gear but not bulky.

Zippers constantly coming off the track, won’t last me more than a couple months. Cheap

More room then I thought. Sturdy light weight and comfortable. Plenty of pockets would be great for hikers, campers.

First of all, this things durability is a joke! The zippers bind brand new out of the package. Tactical is not the word I would use to describe it. Take a page from Blackhawk who know how to make a “tactical” backpack with sturdy zippers. Misleading is putting it lightly. Why isn’t there an envelope to hold the laptop surrounded my padding from both sides? With a Velcro strap to hold it secure? Also no padding at the bottom?
