Best Backpack to travel with

I bought this Renegade back in 2013 and it is now 2024 and still looks and performs like new. I have had zero issue and i have travelled probably well over 500,000 miles with it on various airplanes and airports. This back pack is awesome.
Bought this a short time ago as a replacement for a shoulder bag I had been using for roughly 15 years. Unfortunately, the company I bought my last bag from decided to stop making bags. Anyway, I thought I should update to a backpack due to heavy airline travel and it might be easier to handle. I love the color and finish of the backpack, especially the red accents. The zippers are hearty and overall the quality seems to be pretty solid enough to last for a good amount of time. I am still considering returning the bag as I am still in the trial period due to the following: *Shoulder straps seem to be a bit short for my size, need the padded area to be longer. *I don't like the harness straps dangling and they aren't removable. *The "eyeglass" case on the top is hindered by the heavy carry strap on the top. The strap has no give, while good in theory, it makes this pocket hard to access. *I feel there is so much wasted space, where there could have been additional pockets added into the flaps. I have had to utilize smaller pouches to hold items then just shove them into the pockets across the front. *The luggage pocket is very tight and hard to put my carry-on luggage bar through.
Some plus sides: *Padding against the back is heavy and soft. * I can actually fit two laptops into the protected area, one with a sleeve on it to keep them separated. *Water bottles up to 1 liter will fit easily into the side pouch with the stretch strap to secure it. *Liking the backpack style better than my over the shoulder bag. The backpack puts less stress on my shoulder and spreads the weight across my back.
Will most likely be shopping around to see if there is a better configured bag in the Ogio line up. I would have gone one step up in the Renegade line, but was concerned with fit under an airline seat. This bag takes up all of the real estate under an airline seat, with a water bottle in the pocket, it does get stuck at times.
Honestly, I feel this is a very durable bag and truly want to make it work, as I do like the look and feel. Have a few weeks left of testing and perhaps I will find some solutions to make this bag work better for me.
If you are under 6', aren't traveling with multiple laptops / remote office gear, this is an awesome bag and I would recommend it highly!
I bought this backpack last month and it's worked better than I thought. I use it for work and with all the compartments it has really kept me more organized. Also a big draw for me to purchase it was the fact that me getac toughbook computer fits in
Great backpack. You can fit so much in it! Pockets everywhere. I use for business travel and absolutely love it.

Awesome Computer Bag

I bought this bag back in October, 2017 and it still looks new. I've traveled the USA and through Europe with it, including taking it to work every day for a year in London, and there's not a tear, fray, or rip in it anywhere. 2017... That's when people still used iPods! Great back and I highly recommend it.
Not terrible, but I pack heavy so a bit of a disappointment. The straps are solid overall, the laptop sleeve is way too narrow and there is no where for your water bottle. There's some side pockets but they don't work for drinks (maybe a 12oz soda can, or small grocery store bottle). Remaining storage is good and the protector pocket on top is a good feature.
If you live without the water bottle and carry something equivalent to a Chromebook, Mac air or tablet then it's a good pack.
