Superb, Bulletproof (Almost!) Backpack

I needed to replace my old, battered decade-old OGIO backpack, which had served me well during daily work use as well as my on-board carry-on for a score of international and domestic flights. I wanted a backpack with similar features, and the Renegade RSS Laptop Backpack meets/exceeds that standard. After completing one international journey and one domestic trip, I am very pleased with how well this backpack protected my MacBook, Kindle, and multiple peripherals, plus my toilet kit, change of clothes, and snacks. The multiple pockets really help keep my stuff organized, and the internal "hard shell" kept my laptop from being crushed when a fellow traveler repeatedly mashed their oversized carry-on against it in the aircraft overhead bin. (My thanks to the alert flight attendant who stopped this doofus, and made him check his bag!) I highly recommend this backpack for frequent travelers, or anyone requiring a higher level of protection and organization.
I bought this one to replace an older model. While I like the look and the hardened laptop pocket, this one does not have the same number of pockets, and thereby less storage. Also, the laptop pocket zippers could be about an inch longer on each side to ease getting the laptop in and out of the backpack.
I bought this exact backpack in 2016. Same model and color. I use it every day for work. Traveling through airport security and stuffing under airplane seats. This backpack has seen a lot of abuse and amazingly looks almost new after 8+ years of daily use. I like it so much that when I realized it is still made in the same color I couldn’t help but order one to store away for the day mine finally wears out. Not sure I will ever need though with as good as my original is holding up.
Easily the very best bag that I've ever owed. I've had this for roughly 15 years and it's been with me all over North America every day. It's still like new with no rips, tears, scuffs. Couldn't ask for a better quality product!
As an outdoor/off-road writer and photographer, I travel all over into harsh environments--beating the tar out of my bags (which are always backpacks so I can run/ride with them) that get put into dirt, rocks, hot truck floors, etc. And I carry 30-40lbs in the bag at all times. If I get two years out of any backpack I'm lucky. This is my third Ogio main backpack, it's three years old, and it has probably another year of use left before it gets its replacement--another Renegade
Excellent. This is replacing an Ogio Rebel that I have had for many years. I love the stout construction, the wide compartments and large / quality zippers.
