The Ogio Renegade RSS 17 backpack is a really great bag, made out of polyester material and a nice smart black color. The 17 inch version not only supports some pretty large laptops but can also squeeze in a hell of a lot of other stuff too.
It isn’t just a black hole for all your belongings though, a lot of thought has gone into the design which means that there is nice place to store all of your gadgets with easy access. For example there is even a little pocket on the strap of the backpack which is big enough to store a mobile phone. In fact I tested an iPhone and it fits perfectly in here, it is a pretty safe place too as thieves will not expect there to be a pocket here.
Other pockets include the side pockets which are perfect for small accessories such as chargers and leads for your gadgets. There is also two pockets which are good for storing water bottles but they also zip up meaning you can store other items in there as well. The front pocket is great for other small items such as pens, passport, money, USB flash drives, earphones and even a small notebook.
There is then another large but thin pocket in front of the main compartment which is great for larger items like iPads / tablets, larger notepads, documents and even a keyboard. The main compartment of course has enough room for everything else such as books, clothes or even other gadgets if you like, though bear in mind they won’t have as much protection as the laptop compartment.
Even with all of your gear inside it is pretty comfortable to wear, it has good weight distribution and comfortable straps. Though of course like any bag if you pack too much in and walk for a long time you will start to feel the weight on your shoulders. In fact before purchasing the Ogio Renegade RSS, comfort was one my key considerations since I am a frequent traveler but after reading the review here I was satisfied this laptop backpack would meet my needs.This bag is very well made with the highest quality materials as you would expect since it isn’t particularly cheap to buy. If you have used any Ogio gear before you will know that you are buying the best and it will last a very long time, and if anything goes wrong there is a very generous warranty. Ogio have great belief in their workmanship so are prepared to put the money where their mouth is and offer long warranties on their products.
Overall if you are truly serious about protecting your laptop and storing all of your gadgets and accessories whilst on the move you can’t go wrong with this backpack. This bag has a great combination of fantastic design, first class build quality and comfort. Sure it isn’t the cheapest bag out there but if you have the money to spend and want the very best then the Ogio Renegade RSS 17 comes highly recommended.
