Wenger Carbon 30 Litre Laptop Backpack with Carrying Handle, Padded Shoulder Straps, 17 Inch Laptop Sleeve, For Work, School, Travel, Black, 600637

Wenger GA-7357-02 Carbon 17 Inch Mac Backpack - BlackI use a back pack daily, and also travel overseas and use it as hand-luggage on airplanes. The Wenger replaces a trusty bag that I've used for about 10-years, but is a very much better design.Things I like:- The pockets accept a 13" Macbook pro, and an Ipad (both have soft-cases), charger / cables, security cable, adapters, iphone and cable. Value in excess of £2000.- There is also room for paper work in three or four cardboard folders to a thickenes of at least 10cms.- In addition there are eight internal pockets (some zipped) that make a safe, but accessable place for slim items, plus pen tubes and a key-ring. I can add the usual travellers things (underpants, socks, toothbrush, razor) without any effort.- The base is sturdy and doesn't flop over when on the floor.- There are two looops at the top, one of which is a sturdy metal handle for easy carrying or lifting.- The shoulder straps are strong, and adjustable, and the surface that sits on one's back is padded and shaped for comfort.- The materials are high quality, and very durable. (The same stuff as my old one, that has lasted without a fault).I agree with the comment that the size may not take a 17" laptop. If this is important to you, then order it on a try-and-return basis.I think this is a super bag. I've inspected and rejected a number of expensive brands, because they didn't suit my needs, or they were over-priced. This bag is well designed, looks good, is sturdy and durable, and good value for money. I anticipate that I will use it every day for years to come. The supplier was "Tigerbags" who provided excellent service.

I purchased this backpack last year for the start of college and have been extremely happy with it so far, no a single fault in my opinion I have used this backpack for both college and for traveling and it is still going strong.Not a hint of a tear or rip so far and I usually have the bag packed, especially when I have used it for traveling...and I have packed the backpack tight and very heavy. With all the weight, it still feels comfortable with the padded back and shoulder straps.My laptop (Samsung 700Z Series 7 Chronos 17.3-inch Laptop) fits perfectly in the back compartment, with the flap going over and attaching to the velcro perfectly and the zips closing easily.All the additional features are true: stands upright, airflow to back, decrease strain on back and shoulders, has plenty of space for laptop, books, etc,, plenty of pockets and room, etc.One or two have commented about the weight, it is a little heavier than most, but you are paying for quality material, plus it still feels comfortable, and fits perfect on the back/shoulders.You are getting a great bag that is very durable and well made that feels comfortable to carry and has more than enough room for a 17 inch laptop with plenty of space and pockets for everything else!

I bought a similar rucksack from this company about 7 years ago. It served me very well but pretty much had worn it out.This replacement is stronger, more rigid and has improved design features. It's very sturdy and stands on its own with a weatherproof underneath made of tough plastic. The zips seem strong and well sewn in. My only reservation is sometimes the teeth have misaligned when I zipped it up. It hasn't jammed at all but it's something I'm aware of and I will keep an eye on it. Great value, perfect size.

I bought this to replace my trusted Wenger rucksack which after 10+ years of near constant use was starting to get a bit shabby!This bag is a little more compact than my old one but I really like the organisation of the storage areas, extra padding on the laptop area (fits my 16" MacBook and an external screen without any problems) and it looks very smart.True to Wenger's style, it's very well built and rugged and I'm sure it will see me through another decade at least!

Great bag, happy with my purchase. I would recommend, Well buil, lots of storage, the righ size for me.

I like Wenger rucksacks had this a couple of months and it is going strong. Comfortable to wear

This is a great bag. Really like the looks, makes loads a bit lighter, well padded, good compartment sizes. The material used seems to be very durable, including the material used for the internal layers between the compartments (sometimes this is an oversight in other laptop bags where they use thin layers which tear after a while). The zips, the handle, the straps, they're all perfect.The only issue I would have with this bag is that the side netted pouches are a bit thin/slim as opposed to being wide. They're approximately half the width of the same pouches on many other backpacks, and therefore will only take something with a circumference of around 2 inches. This means it won't take a standard plastic 1 litre or 750ml bottle of water because the pouch isn't wide enough. I can fit a small umbrella and a 330ml plastic bottle in there, but even those are slightly tight squeezes.However, the quality of the bag means this a straight 5/5 for me.
