SO CLOSE....

This is an awesome business backpack! I travel for work and it keeps everything organized. Tons of pockets to store space. My favorite pocket is the front/top notebook pocket (shown in the walk through video). It's a great place to store quick access essentials, i.e. My cellphone or headphones or plane ticket. I have this backpack in grey and I love the color. Just a touch more personality than the black but still professional. Here is my one issue...the grey does not come with the thin trolley or rollerboard strap that the black has. (On the back side of the pack, right above the shoulder straps.) The grey has a cumbersome trolley strap that runs the full length of the bag. Your bag will not more from the top of your suitcase if you're trekking across cobblestone sidewalks in London or running train to train in New York. But you will struggle to get your bag off of the trolley when you get to airport security. Would love to have the option of both the quick trolley attachment and the more "permanent" strap. Overall would definitely recommend this pack for business travelers!
Pros: tons of space, organizational pockets
Cons: no quick on/off trolley strap
I would recommend this to a friend!

Durable, Organized, Great Bag!

I actually received this backpack from my employer as a welcome aboard gift. I've had it for 6.5 years now and it's been an amazing backpack. It holds my 16" laptop easily along with my leather portfolio/notebook, pens, highlighters, extra mouse, sunglasses, two water bottles, ear buds, charging cords for all the above, I also normally carry a couple of books, one is a quick reference book for writing, and usually a novel or something to read on planes. It has plenty of room for all the above and so much more. I love all the pockets for organization. The only downside to all those pockets and storage pockets is that there are so many places to store things I sometimes forget where I put something and it takes a minute to look through all of them to find what I want. I take this bag on business trips with me all the time. It has a super convenient luggage handle pass through under the shoulder straps that makes carrying it through the airport super easy. It fits perfectly under the seat in an airplane. In addition to using it as a business bag, it's an airline carry-on, an overnight bag, I've also used it while riding my motorcycle to carry whatever I need.
I read a review that said it was junk and that it was cheaply constructed. I would disagree with that. I'm retired military and I beat gear to death. I expect whatever my gear to deal with the punishment I heap upon it and ask for more. This bag has dealt with everything I've thrown at it. After 6 and half years of torture and taking it everywhere it does have a rip on one of the mesh side pockets right where the mesh is sewed into the the top border at the opening of the mesh pocket. I usually put my 40 ounce insulated water bottle there and I think 6 years of constantly pulling the bottle in and out is finally starting to catch up with it. The other issue is that one of the zippers on the smaller front pocket has a small tear it in from me overstuffing the bag a million times. The zipper still works but sometimes it snags on the tear and requires a little extra care to get it open. The padding on the right shoulder strap is a little compressed as well, since more often than not I throw it over one shoulder. But considering the abuse that I've put this bag through, those few minor damages are a testament to the durability of the bag. I've done more damage to military speck gear in shorter amounts of time.
In short, I love this bag, and highly recommend it for durability, ease of organization, ability to carry a lot of gear, it's comfortable to wear heavily loaded, the metal handle makes it super easy to carry or pick-up, makes a great carry-on for air travel, the ample padding keeps your electronics safe, and it looks good. I love it so much I actually came to the website to start looking for a replacement since it has been 6 years, I think it is time to retire it and upgrade. I thought I should leave a review since I've had it for so long and really do love the bag.

Great, but don’t expect it to last

This was an incentive prize rewarded at my company. I have absolutely loved this bag! It is spacious with great pockets and nice padding. However, after about 6 months of use for work, it started tearing at the seams. I do not over stuff and treat my items nicely especially since it carries my laptop. Now, it is starting to rip on other seams. I’m extremely disappointed that this great bag won’t even make it a year or even maybe the next month since I don’t want to carry a ripped bag.
Pros: nice pockets/organization options, feels great, light weight
Cons: does not last long

Excellent large laptop backpack
on May 12, 2021
Posted by: Jaced
from Davenport
This is one of very few backpacks that will hold a large 17" laptop. My laptop measures 16.5" x 11" x 2" and slips in easily. I suspect another 1/2" in any dimension would fit. Its also a well made sturdy bag. One of my friends bought this same bag a couple years ago and uses it every day. it still appears almost new. One draw back is that there is no connection between the front straps to keep it from falling off when walking with your arms at your side. I think it stays put pretty well but would prefer a connection here.

Great Weekend Backpack

I bought this on a whim - frustrated with other backpacks, I decided to try out Ogio. First off, these zippers are the best for travelling. If you "overpack" and need that extra umph to get something jammed into the pack - these zippers will allow you to do it. Secondly, the bottom the bag is a nice plyable plastic-ey/leather material. It is very durable and will not rip or tear (from what I can tell). My only complaint is that there are these two little pockets in the main compartment that are kind of useless (for me again). The other feature I wish it had was a hidden compartment (similar to that on the Pace backpacks) that I can hold my passport and cash. Very satisfied and I would definitely recommend this bag.

OGIO 2.0 - Second Time Around

This replaced my OGIO bag from about 7 years ago. Nothing was wrong with it. I just wanted a new one. I love this new bag. My only “problem” is that with so many hidden pockets, I am afraid I will “lose” something and forget where I placed it! I use this as a work backpack. The bag is well-designed, constructive, function and just as important, attractive.

Bought this 2 months ago, solid/functional construction. No wasted compartments or space. All storage areas are maximized and the bag more than accommodates a 17in laptop, full size tablet and anything else I decide to throw in there. Super comfortable to carry and easy to throw over the handle on my carry-on luggage.

This is a sturdy bag that travels through an airport easily. There are so many pockets that hold everything I need, sometimes I even forget where I have things! Sturdy closures and zippers. Love that the suitcase handle sleeve is the whole bag not just a single strap!
