I delayed submitting a review on this bag until I'd actually used it for a few weeks. I got it primarily as a work bag to hold my laptop, i-pad, various chargers and cables, stationery and work papers/files. I’d been using a messenger bag up till now but it lacked organisation and the flap closure on these is never very secure. So far I'm very happy with my Ogio renegade. There is plenty of storage space that makes it ideal for organising. On the front there is a small front organiser pocket (with a few small compartments within), a larger pocket behind (with a tablet specific compartment at the rear) and a smaller crescent shaped pocket above it with two net pockets inside. The main compartment is large enough to take A4 papers/ document wallets. There's a valuables pocket on top, which I initially thought was a bit of a gimmick but I find is actually an ideal place to keep sunglasses with its soft protective lining and I really rely on it now. At the back there’s a fleece lined laptop pocket. It takes my 13” Macbook Pro comfortably but I would doubt it would take the 17” laptop that it’s name infers. There are 4 further side pockets, which are ideal for chargers and power cables. There is also a small pocket on the left shoulder strap but I’ve found it to be too small to be of any real use. There is also a sturdy carry handle on top. My normal usage for the bag is from home to office and involves less than 5 minutes walking from the car however I’ve also taken it on a number of longer trips, including a couple of occasions where it was my only luggage on a couple of overnight trips and found that it can swallow a change of clothing and toiletries if you pack carefully. It doesn’t have the deep profile of some Wenger bags and can be easily stored in overhead lockers or under the seat in front when on a plane. The carrying system is the most comfortable that I’ve experienced other than from a hillwalking specific pack. It carries well and the padding on the back means that there are no uncomfortable protrusions. It’s not perfect though. It would benefit from a larger organiser pocket and more internal organisation. I’ve got around this by using some small pouches and a grid-it, which I keep in the deceptively large tablet pocket. For the price the quality is excellent, far superior to competitors like Wenger. The inside is also very well finished, with a quality lining, something that lets a lot of bags done. The zips are rugged and of high quality. The organisation is the big positive here with the multitude of pockets – a place for everything and everything in its place.

World-class customer service (thanks Tom) I mention why at the end of this review. In terms of the backpack itself, the backpack is of excellent quality, and I have carried my MacBook Pro 2021 in it for almost two years with no issues at all. I do use an additional soft zip cover (just for piece of mind over the MacBook), but it slides into the dedicated compartment, and the zip shuts well. The hard case compartment (top pocket) is ideal for carrying a mouse or anything else that might break, as it has a hard shell casing around it to protect delicate items. The rest of the backpack has plenty of room inside it. I had this backpack for just over two years and the strap at the front tore, the backpack was still functional but the strap at the front has a zipped pocket and it tore at the seam. This was after two years of solid use. I contacted Amazon and for the first time In my life I felt let down by Amazon, they said they couldn't help as it was 2 years old. I told them it is advertised with a lifetime warranty on OGIO's site but they still said they couldn't help. I contacted OGIO and their customer service was outstanding. I didn't think I would encounter customer service better than Amazon before, but I did in OGIO. They sent me a replacement bag via UPS which was here within the week, and sent me UPS tracking label to send the faulty bag back to them. If you want a superb backpack, from a brand that won't disappoint you, you can't go wrong with this bag.

Very nice backpack but expensive for being so not sturdy! We bought it in February in advance for school. Started using in September … so only 6 weeks of using backpack and already ripping apart! I hope the company will contact to discuss it. PS. We now have more pictures 8 months after son (year 7) started school. We had a backpack he wore for 4 years before with no signs of wear but this backpack as lovely as it is did not pass quality control. It wouldn’t have mattered if it wasn’t for a price…

Overall quality is good, although one of the chest straps came unfixed after about a week and its impossible to get it to reattach. There's lots of individual pockets and segments for storage, the laptop pocket is very well protected and theres further pockets in side for ipads etc which are very useful, I have a macbook pro for video editing and a macbook air for work and this accommodates both without them rubbing and getting scratched. The gadget vault is a great idea, i general use if for my airpods and sunglasses though, the top handle does restrict access to the vault but that may be considered a good thing as it makes it harder for thieves to quickly grab something. I think id like the side pockets to be bigger maybe something to carry a drinks bottle?

This is far from cheap, but this is an excellent backpack in my opinion. I was looking for a bag that could take all my business/computing equipment. This is a bag I take with me to any meeting or any trip. It looks smart, but it is not really a professional business backpack, but the capacity and flexibility of this bag is so good you can overlook this. Really good quality, with a nice feel and construction, there is bags of storage space. I can carry all I need and more on a daily basis. Good sized strong zips, plenty of compartments. I think the clincher here is that the laptop compartment is really stiff and well constructed, with the bottom of the pouch being raised from the bottom of the bag. This means that when a laptop is in the bag, if dropped to the floor, the laptop will not hit the ground, because it is encased in a pouch. Basically the best form of protection you could ask for in a bag.

Muy buena calidad,si tengo que poner un pero es el tamaño interior,me parece un poco pequeño.

The bag is really good the only thing in sunglass holder is very awkwardly placed and a little difficult to use

What a nice backpack. I like it so much that I’m feeling bad to take it for a bike ride and come back smelling like petrol

Guter Daypack. Durch viele "Einzelfächer" ist das Hauptfach etwas "dünn". Einkäufe erledigt man damit nicht, aber Tagestrips mit Notebook, Ladegeräten und einem Satz Unterwäsche kriegt man definitiv damit hin. Verarbeitungsqualität wie von Ogio bekannt sehr gut. Sehr viel "mitgedachte" Sortierungselemente. Dementsprechend kein "Standardrucksack" mit viel Platz sondern funktionaler Rucksack mit vielen Schnellzugriffen.

La calidad de los materiales es muy buena, este modelo renegade, se siente para un uso más rudo. La cantidad de bolsas es de lo mejor, y los tirantes para cargarla la hacen muy cómoda. El tamaño es un poco grande para que lo consideren.
