Travel Backpack for Men, Expandable Laptop Backpack with USB Charging Port, Large Anti Theft Business Computer Bag Water Resistant College Backpack Gift for Men Women Fit 15.6 Inch laptop, Black

I bought this as a gift for a fellow Veteran, who is also a college student here at Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona. This backpack is amazing, I should have bought two of these, one for him and one for me. He loves it, all kinds of pockets for everything you can think of.

I give it a solid 9/10. Overall it feels like its designed with all of the present-day security theater and airplane seats in-mind, and has been my go-to on long trips. After two vacations with this thing I felt the need to write up a review. Bad stuff out of the way first: 1. I brought the 15.6 inch one and the capacity is pretty good, but its not *that* big. I found that I couldnt shove the thing under a standard economy class airplane seat with the expansion zipper open, and that needs to be open to create room to stuff a hoodie or compressable jacket in the main pocket, which is a bit of a squeeze. Not really that big of a deal though since most of the time Im wearing the hoodie while on the plane, but its something to be aware of. 2. Yes, having a USB cable for charger looks like a nice convenience on paper, but it doesnt support the fast charging that people expect nowadays. Since I never use it, its just another cable thats dangling around inside. I just plug my own cables directly into my power bank and thread it through the zipper if I have to while Im on the move. But now to the good points: 1. Separate pocket for a laptop or tablet. Previously I always had my electronics in shared pockets but going through TSA it increases the risk that some other items could be lost while digging around. It also means theres more room for other stuff in the other pockets. 2. The expansion zipper is a feature thats traditionally reserved for suitcases. Its nice to create and remove the extra room when necessary (as opposed to un-collapse-able taller backpacks Ive also used), and thus it does make it easier to shove into tight spaces when closed. 3. Yes, I complained about the USB cable not being fast-charging compatible but theres sleeves inside which can be used to hold a power bank while its charging something, so I still count it as a nice modern convenience. 4. The back pocket works as advertised. I actually freaked out once because I forgot I put my valuables there, so points for secrecy and security. 5. The suitcase strap also a nice convenience. Im not sure Id drag my suitcase along with the thing on there but it is useful if you need to stand in a line and want to rest your back.

The Matein Travel Backpack is not very well-built. If you are looking for a bag, this is not it for the price. The middle expander pocket after some time (less than a year) start popping open on its own. It would not hold and usually leads to the backpack always being extended because zipping it back up would end with it popping back open again. The USB charging port on the bag is not rated for a very high wattage. Plugging a power bank in and charging from the other side results in a MUCH slower charging speed. It is not worth it for the penalty, and the port is overall just cheaply made. The velcro on the laptop sleeve/bag and the front pocket is of very poor quality. Over time, it quickly wears and stars tearing (individual fibers coming out). This renders the strap essentially useless. For something that can last a long time, I would not recommend this bag at all. There are much better options. Lastly, the customer service is very poor. The moment you bring an issue up to them, they will proceed to ghost you and not respond if it is related to the backpack/quality issues of it. Do not expect to get anything in return if you get an issue.

Backpack seems very durable, and has TONS of pockets everywhere! Lots of space!

i used this for my sophomore year in high school and possibly junior. only complaint is that the front flap velcro keeps getting undone so when i’m walking all i randomly hear is the constant thumping of it. easy fix, just annoying

So far it seems awesome, spacious, and sturdy. I havent had it long though.

Lots of compartments. Very durable. Perfect for personal item on flights

There is not one complaint about this bag! So great for traveling

its nice but not the full size i expected for airline carry on a little too small

I needed a backpack to carry around some of my electronics and stuff on a recent road trip out to Utah and Arizona (Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon, etc). I carry around with me a Insta360 OneX2 and a gimbal for my phone and my Samsung Tab S7. That right there is already a pretty pricey bit of equipment and I needed something that was 1) Sturdy 2)Comfy 3) protective and 4) had lots of organizational pockets. I read all the good reviews for this backpack and admitedly thought, it had to be too good to be true.... but i was WRONG. All the good reviews were 100% deserved! This backpack not only looks good... but it protects my valuables and has TONS of functionality to boot! It doesnt just have a lot of pockets for the sake of having lots of pockets.... no.... the pockets are all well thought out to maximize space and storage, without sacrificing protection. I love this backpack and so far, through hiking in Zion, and a few miles walked at the Grand Canyon... its holding up great. I highly recommend!
