MARK RYDEN Business Backpack for Men, Waterproof High Tech Backpack with Sport Car Shape Design and USB Charging Port, Travel Laptop Backpack Fits 17.3 Inch Notebook (YKK-3 Pockets)

Who is Markryden and how did he make a business backpack thats so awesome? I travel for work, usually just an overnight trip but sometimes can go 2-3 nights. I attend business meetings, so a suit and dress shirts have to be packed. I can be wearing the backpack with casual or suit attire. I have a technical job and like tech, so I need lots of pockets for my laptop, dongles, notebook, pens, charger, cables, external harddrive, external battery pack, extra chargers, earphones, water bottle and misc documents. Everything must fit in the pack, no extra suitcase or duffel. Sometimes I leave my clothes in the hotel but still need to use the backpack as a day pack, and it shouldnt look massive when theres only a laptop and a handful of cables inside. These were my requirements for a backpack, and I did a ton of research. I have no concern for price, Im looking for function. If it can meet the needs I wrote above, I dont care if I have to spend $500. I bought and tested the Aer Travel Pack 2, Arcido Oxna, GoRuck GR1, Black Emblem Citadel R2, Knack Medium Expandable Knack Pack, OpposeThis Invisible, Peak Design Travel 45L Backpack, and of course the Markryden 3 pocket Travel Backpack. Very rarely is the most affordable option also the best one. I was really really impressed with this backpack, but I must say I didnt test all the backpacks very long so I dont know how well its going to hold up. It is the most functional though, and while not perfect, it checks all my boxes. Things I like -I can fit 1 suit, underwear, socks, PJs, 2 dress shirts, sweater, and small toiletries bag in the main compartment. Still room left in the other 2 compartments for my cables and laptop. -The main clothes compartment has smaller pockets for whatever you feel like putting there, which is really nice. It doesnt take any more room but its so nice to have it when needed (Arcido, Knack, and Black Ember dont have as many pockets in main compartment). -I think it looks nice when wearing casual or professional attire. Can pass as a regular day pack without question. Even when fully loaded, still not too bad. The Peak Design backpack looks like youre carrying half a house in it. -All the smaller compartments and pockets make it really easy for me to store everything I need in a manner thats clean and tidy. No one giant pocket of doom where everything goes into (Im looking at you GoRuck GR1). -When theres nothing in the main compartment, the bag naturally slims down as it doesnt maintain its expanded shape (Arcido, Peak, GoRuck, Black Emblem all stay expanded). -Its comfortable to wear, but I must say I dont typically wear my backpack for very long. The longest Ill wear it is when Im walking from the parking lot of the airport to my gate. -The zippers are surprisingly smooth, quiet and seem waterproof. Not sure what kind as they just say Markryden on them. All the other packs have YKK zippers that are supposed to be high end, but can be much louder to open. -Water bottle pocket sits flush on the side but a regular water bottle fits in nicely. Larger flasks wont fit. -Built in compass! Is it just me or is it awesome to have when youre in a new town, looking at Google Maps on how to walk to a nearby restaurant and you have no idea if youre supposed to go right or left from the hotel? -This pack is fairly light weight. Theres no actual weight on the amazon page, but Im estimating something like 2 lbs. Some backpacks are really heavy, like the GoRuck and Peak Design being above 3 lbs. Things I dont like -Im not crazy about the shiny Oxford fabric used on the outside. It feels a bit on the cheap side. Most of the other backpacks have Cordura 500-1000D which feels much nicer. This Oxford fabric isnt horrible, but it just seems like it could get scuffed easily and wont come off. -Laptop sleeve doesnt have a false bottom, which means the laptop is touching the bottom of the backpack where there isnt much cushion. If the backpack falls or you put it down quickly, it may damage the laptop. -I know I said I loved the pockets, but maybe too many?? Sometimes I forget which compartment and pocket I put something in. -I dont like the large branding on the front. I dont mind the small one on the top right, but the words MARK RYDEN going down the front of the backpack doesnt look very good to me. In the end, its a great backpack and I highly recommend it. If Markryden ever came out with the exactly same version but with a different fabric, Ill probably buy that too.

The pockets on this backpack are amazing. I use this for School. I have a two 17 inch, computers and iPad. It’s so comfortable on my back I’m 5’ 4” so this was important. There a spot to my glasses cables etc. I’ve had a lot of backpacks various prices. But this one has been so far the best. I will update on wear and tear later. I’m just half way through the school year. This backpack is still holding up. I have not seen and wear and tear. I rough on it and it’s still looks and works great. (February 8, 2023)

This backpack is pretty large for me, but the thing I really like is how light it is. The feeling of this backpack is smooth and the material feels like a $100+ backpack you would normally buy. I waited about a month and a half and have never been more excited. This backpack is great for putting a laptop and my 9.7in IPad in it. Hopefully, it doesnt get too full because there are TONS of pockets, so I will be using a lot of it for school. Although I havent used it a whole lot, it feels sturdy and I hope to get a lot of use out of it! Great product!

Being an owner of North Face bags most of my life, I was looking for another brand that could replace it. And when I gave this bag a chance, it doesnt disappoint. Great big space to put in a lot of personal belongings. Gorgeous design to go along with it.

Got it for my husband and he loves it.. haven’t had to really test its water resistance yet, but in and out of rain everything has stayed dry!. Material is great and love all the pockets!

Really professional looking backpack that accomplishes what it says in the description, nice size and the three pockets are extremely useful. Only two minor complaints. First, the compass on my model did not work which was unfortunate but I use this as a business student in college so it is not the worst. Second, the portable charger port on the side is susceptible to scuffs so mine has a couple of small white marks after having the bag three months. again not a big deal. Overall highly recommended bag

Its above all expectations that I had. The best backpack for sure!

I dont travel often but I recently flew out of town for the holiday. This bag was a great companion. It has so many great compartments. Its the James Bond of backpacks. Im female and dont care it targets men (stupid really). Im really hard on backpacks and this one is really durable. I recommend it.

Used multiple times and it is a splendid backpack with numerous compartments. Even when heavily loaded there was no feeling of pressure on the shoulders. The look is phenomenal.

I bought it to carry my computer, but for me it is a large bag to carry on my back. I prefer wheels when i travel.
