OGIO Rev RSS Backpack - One Size

Just received my Ogio Reb bag today. I ordered May 5th (date of this review is May 9th) and initially was seeing the initial arrival date to another week out. While I'm not in any hurry nor complaining, it was really nice, and surprising to see the package at my front door. So arrival was MUCH earlier than anticipated. I'm coming from WA and the Backpack was sent from CA for geographical factoring.The goal in purchasing was to have a durable backpack for a month trip to New York with all my gadgets and related necessities and have a moderate to high comfort level as I will be doing a lot of commute by foot.Three critical gadgets at play here. An Asus ROG 15.6 and a 17.3 and a Google Pixel C.Upon first opening and reviewing the pockets and most importantly the laptop slot, it holds my Asus ROG 15.4 with a both a separately purchased sleeve and without - very snug. It does NOT hold my Asus ROG 17.3 even without the sleeve. The edges of the laptop stick above by almost 2 inches, a small drag but not a huge deal.The side sleeves are well designed the lower pocket/slot is ideal for a water bottle, the upper slot has a label on the inside of an image of a camera, based on the size, would hold a point and shoot camera comfortably. Same goes for the opposite side pockets/slotsThe first front pocket/slot has sections for organizing smaller items and the pocket itself has a little room at the base for cables, etc.The second slot behind the first is labeled for a tablet. The tablet slot fits my 10.2 Google Pixel C very well, the surrounding lining for the tablet pocket/slot does not seem weak in lacing to result in overtime tearing (as common to be the case with cheaper backpacks), the pocket/slot has a little room at its base for other material things (maybe the charger and cable for the Pixel C)The Main slot is as normal for backpacks to be very spacious. My hand at its base shows the width of capacity and extends to just under the top of the main slot (because of sunglasses pocket above.My Asus 17.3 does not fit in the main pocket/slot, I tried that too...Pros:-Very Durable material and design, with a modern style, and though I am not lugging anything yet, the comfort on the shoulders is premium and I don't imagine an issue with strain after housing for various gadgetry etc.-The laptop slot (again most important to me) is although a little tighter than I like (unnecessary pressure inward on Asus makes me nervous) however not a big enough deal to really worry about.Cons:-As of May 09, 2015, the advertised highlight for this backpack says "fits most 17" laptops" which is not just false but very false. Please be aware that this does not fit "a typical size 17" laptop" (ie my Asus 17.3), I provided the model number for exact dimensions to look up for validation. However it may hold just fine an 16" laptops that are manufactured today.-The shoulder strap and were it meets with the laptop at the top does not look as solid in durability as I'd realized looking closer. The included pictures show with minor tug the amount of lacing that is applied. As with us techies we sacrifice our backs to care a decent amount of weight in our gadgets. This could be a concern overtime as this is the typical area that fails.Overall: I REALLY like this backpack and plan to keep it and use A LOT, its my first Ogio backpack and have only a history of users that I've known that have said nothing but good about theirs so I got one myself. ;)I can justify not carrying around my 17.3 and quite honestly, it would be safer and lighter to take the 15.6.I will look forward to updating this review after travel and some time in New York around mid to end of June.I hope this helps, with only 2 reviews (at time of purchasing) I felt very compelled to add a third review upon liking.Good hunting!

I love this bag. It isn't floppy like lots of backpacks. There are tons of places to put cables, pens, and other gear. The laptop compartment is rugged and it feels safe to keep my surface pro 4 ineven though it has wiggle room (the surface is pretty small inside the compartment). The bag keeps its shape even when there are tons of things inside. I would definitely recommend this thing to a friend.

I can't say enough good things about this backpack. It has some many compartments, I can bring all my cords and gadgets with me without losing them. The padding is excellent! It's a heavier backpack, not a light carry. I don't mind the overall weight, since the straps and back are also nicely padded. It's awesome. Glad I found it.

I have had dozens of backpacks over the years. Cheap ones, expensive ones, and those in between. This bag beats all of them for my travel needs with all my tech. The only concern I have is with the straps. They could be beefed up a bit. Otherwise, it's awesome and I'd recommend it to any business/tech traveler.

Great bag. Good look. I didn't like the plastic piece that protects the laptop but it was easy to remove.

Purchased for a Christmas gift. He loves the size, the pockets, the amount of space and the comfort!

I'll give this product a 5 star only because its seemed like a good quality product the moment I opened it from the box. However I had to return the backpack because I couldn't close the lap top compartment all the way with my Aspire V17 Nitro Black Edition.

it's a great backpack with a lot of storage compartments. I especially like the laptop protection.
