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)

good quality

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.

I really like this bag, súper confortable and waterproof, definitely you can fit a lot of stuff. Great pockets inside. My only but is some weird smelling. I realize after unpacking my stuff in a trip my whole clothes what terrible smelling. Other then that 100% recommend. I probably buy another one for work.

I love the bag would definitely recommend to others my only issue was the lack of color options if it was red I would have bought more

Wow! A versatile bag that has many pockets to store clothes, laptop, tablet, keys, etc. I have traveled over the last few weeks and I was able to pack 2 to 3 days worth of clothes in this bag. On my Frontier and Southwest flights, this bag fits under the seat with no issues.

One of the best Backpacks I’ve ever used until now. In my view it’s way better than many big brands out there. I traveled internally twice with this bag and It’s just flawless. I would recommend this. Plus : Great on storage : from laptop to sunglasses. Compartments: a lot pockets to store your stuff and good for people who like more pockets.

Got this for work. I carry a laptop, mobile printer and legal size folio. Its very comfortable considering how much weight I carry. Seems to be very well made and sturdy. Not too sure how water resistant it is.

I got this while I was up at college due to my previous bag breaking and wanting something a little for sturdy and professional looking. This backpack has been absolutely amazing, its perfect for being on campus and is really easy to use and makes everything easy to carry. I have also used it to travel and all I can say is wow. They really make it comfortable and easy to use. This is especially the case as I have torn shoulder and back when I was travelling and this took all the pressure off. Though, I wouldnt recommend anyone else testing this out in that situation. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a professional-looking backpack for travel, as well as to those that bring their laptops to and from work often.
