Kensington Contour Overnight TSA Checkpoint-Friendly Backpack and Laptop Case for 15.6-Inch Laptops (K62594AM),Black

This pack holds a lot! I use it as a carry on for work travel and use it for the items I need while on the go or don't want to risk the airline losing. Lots of pockets and zippered compartments all over the place. The front most compartment is the perfect size for my 8" tablet and also has a key hook and several pockets. The second section back has 4 mesh pockets perfect for most hand held devices (mouse, powerbank, laptop charger, etc.) The bottom of the central compartment is quite wide and can hold larger objects. The rearmost section has a well padded laptop sleeve and unzips to lay open for airport security without having to remove the laptop . One thing it could use in this back section is another sleeve to keep paperwork in, but this isn't a major problem. Zippered pockets on both sides and a bottle holder as well. The only major flaw I've found is that the fabric handle at the top is too narrow to easily fit over the handle on luggage for stacked towing, so it takes some work to get it on and off. Not good if your in a hurry. Maybe it will stretch. The only other problem I had was the first trip I made with it, I felt it bumping against my rear on the walk off of the plane. I'd had the zippers for the laptop compartment at the top, and the weight of the contents and pulled the zippers open. Easily solved by keeping the zippers at the side.Pros:Huge capacityFairly comfortableLots of pockets and compartmentsDecent looking, though plain.Cons:Fabric strap does not easily fit over a luggage cart handle for stackingZippers on laptop section can pull open on their own if they are positioned at the topCould use an extra sleeve for paperwork in the back.

I have searched for years for a backpack that can carry a computer and the other stuff I need to lug around in my weekly travels. I have gone through dozens of bags. This is the first one that I have found does everything I need it to do. It's the right size. The top loading design lets you leave the bag open, like a real bag, not some fashion puzzle. Then when you get up to go, you just put your stuff in through the top, zip it up, and go. This is so much better than most bags that require a lot more effort to get things in and out and close them up. I probably carry 20 to 25lbs of stuff and this bag is both comfortable and easy to use. From how this is put together, I expect I will have it for many years of weekly use but when the time comes I would certainly get another one again.Bought last year in Feb. It's now a year later. Update after a year of use:I use this bag daily. It now carries 30 to 40 lbs of load including computer, a liter of water, radio, antenna, fork-knife-spoon set, headlight, spare batteries, a few pounds of keys, power adapters, cables, glasses, gloves, hat, cards, pens/pencils, folder with papers and often a 3.5 inch hard drive in a protective case. I've carried it for hours at a time and it's constantly in and out of cars and aircraft. Now for the amazing part: It shows no visible signs of wear! The whole thing works as if it were new. I would buy this bag again in a heartbeat. Even with all the junk I put in it, the thing somehow will allow me to cram in a pair of wind pants or a book. Many other bag I've had did not last most of a year and started coming apart typically at the strap attach points because of the weight. This thing is still in one piece! When it wears out I'll try to find another. It reminds me of how stuff used to be made.

It came down tho this bag vs. a Targus. I picked this one for a few features over the Targus. I've not, yet, traveled with it, but I used it every day.It appears to be well made. Zippers are fairly heavy duty, but we'll see how well they last. I like that it stands up itself, has a rubberized bottom and is understated.I don't like velcro. This bag has it in two places. On the side where you put a bottle. And internally where you strap down your laptop. The velcro wears out with use over time and I think for this reason alone, I wouldn't buy this bag again. Yes, it secures your laptop, but I'd rather not have the velcro.Another minor quibble is the "contouring" on the back for airflow is so minimal it's non-existent.And the last one. The handle on the top is hidden under the straps. It's not in a very good place.So, for quality (so far) 4 stars. Design, 2 and a half stars.EDIT: I've had some time to travel with it.First, the velcro is terrible. It actually has caused me to remove a star. The laptop strap sticks to the inside pocket. It's going to tear it up and reduce the life of the pack. A mechanical fastener would be better.Second, the airflow contouring is useless. Absolutely useless. It's not stiff enough to make any difference at all. In fact, it might as well not even be there.The good is that it's roomy and travels fairly well. I just hate the velcro.Edit 2: I still don't like the Velcro.

I had the earlier version of this pack and used it for a decade and a half! It was still working, with a couple of restitchings where overloading and slinging it around had caused some small tears. And eventually I had cracked the interior plastic frame piece at the back. Lots and lots of air miles logged on it, and I have loved it:All the space, well designed spacious main compartments, key holder, small pockets to hold things, just a righteous design and strong materials. So this being basically the same unit, but with the zip-down TSA laptop-stay-in for x-ray was my choice, since I have loved its predecessor. With this new one, TSA did let the laptop thru without taking it out, just zipping it down.Love this one, and will not replace it till abuse brings it to too many scars etc. Can't think you could find a better, or equal product, at this price. Buy one and you'll see!

After 6 weeks the stitching started coming apart from the left shoulder strap where it joins the body of the bag. I bought it through U R Mobile who give me the number to contact Kensington. They create an account for you and log the "incident" so you can log in and see process. You have to have the serial number of the item and the receipt. I have the serial number and the Amazon based receipt. After initially being told on the phone the replacement would be sent out promptly it has now been a back and forth process of about 4 weeks of logging in to their site to see if there is progress, receipt of automatic emails saying its being dealt with and that initially an Order confirmation wasnt enough for proof of purchase, but that I cant reply to it as its automated. You have to remember how to log onto their site as you initally think you wont have to go back to it, but you will and its not the same log in area as their sales log in. Its their customer support area log in. I suppose they hope you forget all this and just give up. I have uploaded the recipt from Amazon and a picture of the stitching but heard nothing now for 5 days. The bag itself is well lead out and otherwise I am pleased with it. I guess I have just been unlucky and foiled by an overcomplicated drawn out support service. The bag is perfect for working away from home a couple of nights a week. Separate laptop section - handy at the airport. And a separte section for change of shirts etc, for 3-4 days and a separate section where I put all the cables. I would still buy another if buying again. I would have bought from a shop but couldnt find similar. That way you just take it back and show them the stitching and receipt and leave with a new bag. Phone numbers, automated replies, log in details, uploading information just makes it that much more labour intensive.

Great product

Perfect, great value

I am using this backpack for work purpose in field and quiet happy with space arrangement and pockets. most of my stuff fits in easily and because of separate laptop compartment-life became easier more even. backpack material is very rugged and tough which exactly i was looking for, and this is second time i have same back back, the first one of same kind last for me at least 7-8 years even then all zippers were working great. so definitely i will 100 % recommend this product.

La compra llego en tiempo y forma. La mochila llego entera, es de un material resistente, se ve que es duradera, no se siente el peso con ella. Los compartimentos son bastante amplios y tiene un montón de bolsitas internas para acomodar pequeños neceseres. Yo uso el compartimento para una laptop de 15.6"; es usable sin embargo como que fue diseñada para medidas mas pequeñas, sin embargo cabe y la proteje muy bien.Dos años después sigue intacta. Es perfecta para viajar y llevar el ordenador.
