> 3 dayI was extremely excited to get this bag for my larger laptop. After the first week of use, the laptop zipper is already broken. Because this package was delivered late, I was already on a work trip and unable to use it for a few weeks. Now that its broken, its outside the return window. I guess for an entire week, it worked great.

> 3 dayI spent a very long time looking for a stylish slim backpack that would fit my 15.6 laptop. (It does) I was very disappointed to find out, however, that the strap placement and their straight shape makes it so that the inside of my upper arm brushes against the strap as I walk, producing a constant annoying sound. By the time I got to work my arm was already a little raw. It also does nothing to keep your back cool. In fact it does quite the opposite. Today it was 72 degrees with moderate humidity but my back was very hot and I was starting to sweat after a 10 minute walk. I had to carry it on one shoulder the last leg of the journey to deal with the multitude of discomforts. To sum up: This backpack looks fantastic, but it does not perform well at all. All form, no function. Sadly, I will be returning it promptly.

> 3 dayI love this back pack. I cant say much other than I really like the bucket/flap design and it has lasted me a long time! Will definitely purchase again if this one gives out- but its going strong and shows no sign of wear!

07-06-2025I had been looking around for a small sized backpack that I could use as my day-to-day bag for college when I came across the Covert. It seemed to be what I was after, though there was not quite the level of detail I wanted to confirm that it could actually hold the bare essentials I needed. Seeing as it was in many ways the best, I took the plunge and ordered it several months ago. I will first say what I was hoping someone would mention: Yes, this backpack can hold a decent amount of notebooks and files, as well as a thin laptop (think Macbook air or ultrabook thickness). The pictures do it more justice than I can write here. The photos show the bag as fully loaded as I can, without it bulging awkwardly out. It has four Moleskine Cahier X-Large notebooks, a softcover 400 page textbook (thin pages), a Mead plastic file with around 80 pages of an engineering pad, an iPad mini, standard pens and calculator etc, and a Macbook Air. One of the images shows the bag with the aforementioned items, but placed inside a Northface Jester II backpack, to illustrate the massive size difference. It can comfortably hold around 5 thin notebooks as a maximum, with a Macbook Air in the sleeve. For another reference, without a laptop, I managed to fit a three semester calculus book and its softcover solution manual within the pack, which pushed it to its extreme holding capacity. If you are inclined to carry any more than a single textbook, or more than a few notebooks or files, this might not be the best pack, but if most of your work is done on a (thin) laptop, with maybe some files and notebooks for class notes, this is the perfect lightweight backpack. Also, note that the bag is very rectangular, so anything that is not will fit poorly. Sweatshirts, lunch bags, and so on are not really something you can use with this, unless they are the only thing you put in it. This is also a poor fit if youd like to carry mass market paperbacks around (due to the thickness constraint). I have been using it almost daily both for class, and now for an internship, and it has held up without any visible wear. It is apparent that Ogio cheaped out on the zipper pulls, making them out of plastic that would definitely break if you yanked on them, but as long as you are conscious of their fallibility they should hold up. I have not had any issues with them so far. For the select few who can rely more on digital than paper, but still need to takes notes and have some scratch paper, I would highly recommend this backpack.

> 3 dayI was in need of a large laptop backpack for my hefty 17.3 laptop, Asus G75VW. This was a very decently priced backpack that fit my laptop inside with ease and much room to spare. It doesnt fit in the back pocket, which I assumed was for laptops, but it fits inside the bag anyhow. Theres not as much pockets as most backpacks Im used to, but I like that. It gives the bag a more simple, minimalistic look. The pockets it has is more than enough for everything I carry. This backpack is very light. It has a very nice neutral gray color on the outer layer with a rather odd reddish/orangish inner layer. I guess it gives it a bit of color. It can carry quite a bit. To my unexpected delight, I managed to fit a large watermelon inside when I needed to carry it. Im very happy with my purchase.
