MARK RYDENBusiness Backpack 23L/40L Carry on Travel Backpack, Lightweight Flight-Approved Expandable Weekender Bag with USB Charging Port fit 17.3 Laptop

This is a great rucksack for the price. the fabric has a nice feel to it, the zips seem to be good quality and the internal organisation is good. Just a couple of rather important details let this down.1. no adjustment on the sternum / chest strap. These need to be tight to take the weight off your shoulders, and I know this isnt exactly a hiking pack, but it can get heavy when fully loaded and that adjustment would make a big difference.2. Laptop sleeve doesnt appear to have any padding at the bottom, where you need it most.I have used this during reasonably heavy rain, and its been OK, but only for short periods. The zips dont appear to be water-resistant and hence I wouldnt want to trust this for any longer than 20 minutes on a rainy day.All in all, I am pretty happy with this rucksack, and for the price, I think its a bargain.UPDATE: I used this backpack on a 2 hour motorcycle trip in heavy rain. I put my laptop inside a plastic bag, as I wasnt confident of the water resistance of this backpack. Need not have bothered, not a drop of water got inside the backpack, absolutely amazed! My "waterproof" riding jacket didnt fare too well, I was soaked to the skin! So, its a big validation for this backpack's claimed water resistance. Well impresssed!

Didn't had many backpack choices for my 18" Rog Strix laptop but this fits perfect. Looks really cool aswell and has plenty of pockets.

Mark Ryden didn't fail me to buy this again.The quality is always my first choice and the price is also right to my pocket.

Overall its a great design, nothing to complain on that side.However, I have had a mild rain which did get wet important documents, calculator and laptop. Although nothing is damaged, and it is far better than other bags. I'd say it needs work on the zip water proofing area

I am no expert in luggage, I seldom travel - but often I will be carrying things around to different work events and I wanted something a bit more versatile than a laptop bag. This is it.It has the ability to be smaller or larger very easily, with quite a clever but simple zipping mechanism. It feels nice when on with the padded straps, and there's lots of versatility with the storage.You need to plug a power bank into the internal section as shown in the photo, but it's then convenient to charge items on the move.When using it more like a suitcase, I would be in agreement with another reviewer who mentions the straps not being tucked away - though there is an elasticated strap and zip pouch, there may be a way to tuck some of them away in there - I am not sure how that would work, and it certainly doesn't appear to be meant for that purpose. I would agree that's an area they dropped the ball slightly. If they'd incorporated that somehow, it would have been even better.Is it worth £54.99? To me it is. To you? It depends on your needs.I would highly recommend reading varied reviews on usage to see if it's for you, but from the limited amount of time I have had it so far, I certainly have no qualms with the quality.Oh, and try and remember which pouch you put your stuff in!Five Stars from me.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
