Not as tough as older models

I bought this around 3 years ago. My old version of this model was a power sports company branded bag and it was tough as nails. It endured countless airline miles of carry on and under seat abuse. When I no longer was doing this kind of work I decided it was time for a new, not as obvious, color bag of the same model. I did enjoy the new features, especially the padded eyeglass pocket on top. My problem that I am having is with the laptop sleeve. I did notice the thin material as soon as I did the initial inspection. However, since the shock protection appeared very well done, I decided to ignore this. Now, after being extremely gently used compared to my original bag, with very few flights, the laptop sleeve has had the stitches come loose on one side at least 25% of the length. This does have a light weight 15 inch laptop taken in and out every day but no running through airports and getting abused like the original. This is very disappointing but the bag is still usable. I have about 2 1/2 years to go until retirement so we will see if it lasts. I would highly suggest Ogio use a thicker material and a heavier duty stitching. I love Ogio branded bags but if you are going to make changes, remember the do no harm mantra. A great reputation is hard to earn and a long time to acquire. A bad name can happen in the blink of an eye. Please don't blink!
I was initially impressed with the RENEGADE RSS Laptop Backpack. Its plethora of organizational pockets and cool features made traveling with my laptop and gadgets incredibly convenient. The design is sleek, and the functionality seemed top-notch with dedicated compartments for everything I needed.
However, after less than 1.5 years of regular use, the shoulder strap began to tear apart. This not only affected the comfort and usability of the backpack but also made it look unattractive and worn out prematurely. For a product that promises durability and comes with a premium price tag, this was quite disappointing.
While the backpack excels in organization and style, the lack of longevity in its construction is a significant letdown. I hope future versions address this issue because, otherwise, it's a fantastic product.
I bought for my grandson in high school. A bit pricey, but my thought is that the past bags barely last the school year. In hoping this one will be good thru a couple years!
I bought to replace my worn Renegade RSS. My only disappointment is some of the pockets are not the same size as previous and what I’m used to but not a huge concern.
I recently bought this durable backpack for my son, who will be attending college this August 2024. The backpack fits his 17-inch Dell laptop perfectly in the designated compartment. There are also plenty of pockets as well. I have the same model, which I purchased a year ago, and I love it. The ordering process was also very efficient.
I bought this backpack just prior to a 2.5 week trip to Southern Africa. Family trip that we decided we were only taking a carry-on and backpack. My most recent backpack had finally died but was spacious and lots of pockets for organization. Based on prior experience with Ogio golf travel gear I was optimistic about this bag. It turned out to be so much better than I had hoped. Plenty of space in main pouch for shoes, clothes, rolled up coat. The organized pockets for chargers, sunglasses and tech stuff are perfect. Great laptop protected pocket allows easy quick access to laptop and slides in easy too. Multiple front pocket allow for continued storage expansion or will basically flatten out when not using. VERY happy with this purchase, especially for the price. The bonus feature is the luggage handle slide over area on the back as well. Comfortable even when loaded down. The Renegade RSS Laptop backpack is a winner!
