MARK RYDEN Business Backpack for Men, Waterproof High Tech Backpack with Sport Car Shape Design and USB Charging Port, Travel Laptop Backpack Fits 17.3 Inch Notebook

I am so pleasantly impressed by this backpack. The comfort, durability, style, and functionality are top notch at a great price.I work a hybrid remote/office schedule and this is perfect for taking my necessities to and from each.The material is stylish yet durable and the variety of storage options is great without the backpack being bulky. It is sleek and stylish but can hold a ton!I would absolutely consider other Mark Ryder products again. Only complaint (and it is minor) is the charging port input and output is USB A, not USB C.Great bag!!!

Never heard of Mark Ryden before, but I took a chance and wow, this backpack feels way higher quality than the price suggests. It is the perfect personal item for travel, fitting everything I need without looking bulky. The suitcase slip and hidden pockets are an absolute godsend, making airport security and quick access a breeze.If there is one flaw, it might be that it has too much storage. So many compartments that I almost lost track of where I put things. But honestly, that is a good problem to have. If you need a sleek, durable, and well-designed backpack for travel or work, this one delivers.

I’m writing this review after using this backpack for the last 3 years. I travel extensively for business and have found this to be the best travel backpack in terms of storage, comfort, and durability. The outside is partially made of a rubbery material which is waterproof and indestructible. After years of use, being thrown in the back of cars and on the floor on planes, this backpack still looks brand new. I highly recommend!

Who is Markryden and how did he make a business backpack that's so awesome?I travel for work, usually just an overnight trip but sometimes can go 2-3 nights. I attend business meetings, so a suit and dress shirts have to be packed. I can be wearing the backpack with casual or suit attire. I have a technical job and like tech, so I need lots of pockets for my laptop, dongles, notebook, pens, charger, cables, external harddrive, external battery pack, extra chargers, earphones, water bottle and misc documents. Everything must fit in the pack, no extra suitcase or duffel. Sometimes I leave my clothes in the hotel but still need to use the backpack as a day pack, and it shouldn't look massive when there's only a laptop and a handful of cables inside. These were my requirements for a backpack, and I did a ton of research.I have no concern for price, I'm looking for function. If it can meet the needs I wrote above, I don't care if I have to spend $500. I bought and tested the Aer Travel Pack 2, Arcido Oxna, GoRuck GR1, Black Emblem Citadel R2, Knack Medium Expandable Knack Pack, OpposeThis Invisible, Peak Design Travel 45L Backpack, and of course the Markryden 3 pocket Travel Backpack. Very rarely is the most affordable option also the best one.I was really really impressed with this backpack, but I must say I didn't test all the backpacks very long so I don't know how well it's going to hold up. It is the most functional though, and while not perfect, it checks all my boxes.Things I like-I can fit 1 suit, underwear, socks, PJs, 2 dress shirts, sweater, and small toiletries bag in the main compartment. Still room left in the other 2 compartments for my cables and laptop.-The main clothes compartment has smaller pockets for whatever you feel like putting there, which is really nice. It doesn't take any more room but it's so nice to have it when needed (Arcido, Knack, and Black Ember don't have as many pockets in main compartment).-I think it looks nice when wearing casual or professional attire. Can pass as a regular day pack without question. Even when fully loaded, still not too bad. The Peak Design backpack looks like you're carrying half a house in it.-All the smaller compartments and pockets make it really easy for me to store everything I need in a manner that's clean and tidy. No one giant pocket of doom where everything goes into (I'm looking at you GoRuck GR1).-When there's nothing in the main compartment, the bag naturally slims down as it doesn't maintain it's expanded shape (Arcido, Peak, GoRuck, Black Emblem all stay expanded).-It's comfortable to wear, but I must say I don't typically wear my backpack for very long. The longest I'll wear it is when I'm walking from the parking lot of the airport to my gate.-The zippers are surprisingly smooth, quiet and seem waterproof. Not sure what kind as they just say Markryden on them. All the other packs have YKK zippers that are supposed to be high end, but can be much louder to open.-Water bottle pocket sits flush on the side but a regular water bottle fits in nicely. Larger flasks won't fit.-Built in compass! Is it just me or is it awesome to have when you're in a new town, looking at Google Maps on how to walk to a nearby restaurant and you have no idea if you're supposed to go right or left from the hotel?-This pack is fairly light weight. There's no actual weight on the amazon page, but I'm estimating something like 2 lbs. Some backpacks are really heavy, like the GoRuck and Peak Design being above 3 lbs.Things I don't like-I'm not crazy about the shiny Oxford fabric used on the outside. It feels a bit on the cheap side. Most of the other backpacks have Cordura 500-1000D which feels much nicer. This Oxford fabric isn't horrible, but it just seems like it could get scuffed easily and won't come off.-Laptop sleeve doesn't have a false bottom, which means the laptop is touching the bottom of the backpack where there isn't much cushion. If the backpack falls or you put it down quickly, it may damage the laptop.-I know I said I loved the pockets, but maybe too many?? Sometimes I forget which compartment and pocket I put something in.-I don't like the large branding on the front. I don't mind the small one on the top right, but the words MARK RYDEN going down the front of the backpack doesn't look very good to me.In the end, it's a great backpack and I highly recommend it. If Markryden ever came out with the exactly same version but with a different fabric, I'll probably buy that too.

I've been using this backpack for work and some travel for about 6 months, including frequent bike commuting. I like the quality of all components including the zippers, and the seemingly durable materials (no visible wear after daily use so far). Lots of pockets and storage spaces, and the padded laptop compartment is great. I typically carry a laptop, charger, mouse, documents, lunch, and a coffee thermos, and it all fits well. The straps and top handle are ergonomic and functional. It's comfortable to wear even when heavily loaded. I think it looks great, too My only tiny quibble is that the small storage pocket on the strap can easily come unzipped during normal use.
