Targus Drifter II Laptop Backpack, Black/Gray – Backpack for Men for Business and Travel, Durable Water-Resistant Material, Fits up to 17" Laptops (TSB239US)

If you are looking for a backpack that offers utility and ample storage, while also being sturdy and well-made, this is it. I was initially looking at a sleek all-black Swissgear backpack, but upon reading its reviews found that the craftmanship was lacking. This backpack definitely outranks most of the sleeker designs you are finding right now, I assure you. Perhaps it doesn't exactly fit the aesthetic you are going for, but if you are someone like me who values quality and longevity, this is the correct choice. Aesthetics be d*mned, I just want something that is going to LAST. So far, this is living up to that expectation.

Excellent pack that protects laptops and can carry a surprisingly large amount of stuff easily. I often carry two laptops in this bag - a smaller one in the padded pouch, and a larger one towards the back pad. I've yet to damage either device while using this bag. The number of pockets and features is really impressive, and makes organizing for day trips or outdoor events easy. The heavy-duty upper lift strap is super helpful too. I'm really happy for the quality for the price I paid.

After 17 years of daily use, mostly in a marine environment, it was time to replace my trusty Targus Drifter II laptop backpack. I couldn’t be happier to find an exact replacement here on Amazon. Sturdy would be an understatement in describing this backpack. It has so many pockets, you will probably forget a few of them. Thick padding on the back and shoulder straps make it extremely comfortable. The computer pocket is nicely padded and is a full pocket, not just a padded divider like in most packs. The padded hidden pocket at the small of the back is perfect for your most valued items. I doubt a thief could access it while worn. A plush lined pocket at the top of the back is great for delicate items. I keep a hard drive, flash drives, and card readers in mine. The reinforced carry handle is bullet proof. I’ve had handles tear off in days on other backpacks. This one is vinyl covered aircraft cable and never failed. I hope to retire in less than 17 years and not need another laptop bag or I would buy another one for backup. I highly recommend this pack and that you get one before they are gone. From their website, I don’t believe Targus makes the Drifter II anymore. This maybe the last backpack you need. I know it will be mine

Almost 3 years ago I bought this backpack for my everyday college use, demanding that it stow a 17" laptop, change of clothes, umbrella, textbooks, water bottle, and other everyday items, along with being able to convert into a spacious carry on for flights and be cheap (I was on a college freshman's work budget after all lol). I can tell you its well worth the money! Three years of abuse from several cross country flights, day hiking trips, countless road trips, numerous rain storms I've gotten caught in while in the middle of campus, and just overall wear and tear from someone who uses items and tends to demand they withstand quite a bit of abuse. Almost 3 years later and the abuse shows: 1) one of the shoulder straps has had a piece come loose but its purely cosmetic, the integrity of the strap is still there 2) somewhere along the way I lost the outermost pockets zipper pull, I remember it just pulling free one day admittedly though after over a year of wear and tear 3) I'm a college senior....I've carried up to four textbooks comfortably all day across campus with this backpack plus my 17" laptop....it was heavy but the padding on the straps kept it comfortable for me every time. I bring up textbooks and campus because I've been caught in plenty of rainstorms there, between slight drizzles to downpours...and I can tell you that my laptop and books survived each time without getting wet even when the bag itself was completely soaked and had water pooling on top of it. Those storms and hours spent exposed to the sun and heat, either on my back or in my car have caused the bag to fade significantly though, so if that matters to you know that it will happen. 4) The mesh side pockets have tears where they have gotten caught on snags under airplane seats and door jams of classrooms. This is a great product that is in my opinion very well made for its middle of the road price point (in a time where goods are either affordable and cheaply made or costly and well made). If you buy it, you wont have to worry about treating it with kid gloves like some other bags. I definitely have gotten my investment back and in 3 more years (or longer) when this bag eventually breaks, if they still sell them I'll be buying an exact copy to replace my ol' faithful one :)

Úplně bombovej batoh a hlavně prostornej.

The best bag ever, As expected, gives complete protection to your laptop and other accessories. Lots space & holds on your back firmly.

値段を考えると躊躇しますが 元を十分とるぐらい年数使いました 流石にボロボロになってきたので再度購入しました 一つ目のものは糸のほつれが見られましたが 今回購入したのは問題なかったです 使いやすいバックです

Şuan kullandığım Targus çantanın kalitesinde değildi. İade ettim.

I have high standards and this bag meets them. I extensively researched multiple laptop bags and finally chose this. I have not experienced all the negative aspects mentioned by many other reviewers. The handles are secure. The stitching is secure and doesn't unravel. The zips are secure and don't unzip themselves. The compartments are extensive. The bag comfortably accommodates a 17inch laptop with full peripherals. I can highly recommend.
