With all of the cool devices that are now available to the typical business traveler you really need to reconsider how you are going to stow all of your devices. Backpacks designed more than 10 years ago were designed to store camping gear and not much else. About 5 years ago, we saw the first of the packs that were designed to carry laptops (the highly successful Victorinox is the one that comes to mind first - and you still see them everywhere). Over the last couple of years a new wave of designs has entered the market - they are less interested in storing camping gear but well equipped for allowing easy access to a variety of your electronic gadgets. In my opinion, the Ogio Renegade is the best of the newly designed gadget backpacks. It offers a decent level of protection, it is comfortable to wear, but most importantly it also provides many levels/layers of storage based on the size of the items that you are trying to store.

Notes-- The laptop storage area provides a wedge of support that encompasses you computer. It is especially, effective in supporting your laptop if you backpack is dropped straight down (like when you remove it from your back and sit it on the floor).- The design fits nicely under the seat on an airplane. This may not seem like a big deal, but trust me... it is. When you pack does not fit snuggly under the seat it causes you to lose precious leg room (and possibly exposes you to ire of the flight attendants).- It is very comfortable to wear - the area supporting the laptop also provides a firm but gentle support for your back.- The exterior is rip, tea, and snag resistant.- Has a built in sunglass pocket/box that offers a crush-proof compartment for sunglasses or anything that is breakable.- The entire backpack does not have an exoskeleton or any type of rigid frame - but the pack seems to be fairly resistant to collapse, and I have not had any problem with anything being damaged inside.- I do wish that there were more internal storage pockets inside the individual layers- I would like to have small netted pockets to store things like batteries, medicine, and other small items.

The Ogio Renegade does have a few of these types of pockets, but I wish it had a few more.Final Verdict- The Ogio Renegade is the best blend of comfort, storage, and build quality that I have found in business travel backpack. it may be significant overkill for a middle-schoolers - but it has worked perfectly for all of my business travel5 StarsPlease Note - I received this product for reviewing purposesYou won't be disappointed Trade In Trade Up Best of the Best Steals of the Day Luggage Totes & Satchels Lunch Bags & Coolers Portable Batteries & Chargers Bluetooth Locators & Trackers Toiletry & Dopp Kits Gym & Fitness Packs Safe Travel & Secure Home Guide 10 Must-Have Bags for Business Traveler Business Sale & Clearance Tech Sale & Clearance Fitness Trackers & Wearable Tech Tech Cases, Folios & Sleeves Best-Selling Gym and Duffel Bags Team & Individual Sports Hydration Packs & Water Bottles Sports & Outdoor Duffels

So when it came time to attend Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, I packed up ten days’ worth of electronics, notebooks, chargers, and personal items into the Ogio Renegade RSS 17. Ogio, a company that specializes in making tough and durable bags for work and sport, did not hold back on the Renegade. Constructed from 600D Pindot Polyester and measuring 19.5” high by 14” wide by 10” deep, the Renegade has a carrying capacity of 1800 cubic inches and weighs a hefty 3.5 pounds empty. It also features Ogio’s proprietary Reactive Suspension System technology (hence the “RSS” in the name), as well as a Hybrid Unibody Backpanel and a crush-proof Tech Vault (more on those later). The Renegade is organized into four compartments: A laptop compartment, a sizable main compartment, a tablet compartment, and a small front compartment that contains several smaller pouches and pockets. The laptop compartment, which is the farthest back, is padded with quilted red material to protect your computer—Ogio has purposefully designed the bag’s interior;

anywhere you see red material is considered to be a safe, soft area for gadgets. Unfortunately, the zipper on the laptop compartment only runs about a quarter of the length of the bag—not a problem if you’re just slipping a laptop in and out, but it was awkward to attempt to cram any additional items (such as papers) into the compartment, and it meant I had to pull my laptop out of my bag while going through security (instead of simply being able to unzip the compartment and lay the bag flat, like I could do with the ECBC Javelin). Granted, the bottom of the laptop compartment is extremely solid, thanks to the RSS technology. The Reactive Suspension System technology refers to the design of the laptop compartment—thanks to a firm, padded structure in the bottom of the bag, your laptop will never come into contact with the ground but remains suspended a few inches above the bottom of the bag. It’s a nice touch, and I definitely felt comfortable carrying my laptop in the compartment without an additional sleeve (not that it would have fit anyhow).

The next compartment is the main compartment, which is a cavernous—I managed to fit a change of clothes, my wallet, a small toiletry case, several notebooks, and all manner of external batteries and power cables into it. It would very likely be able to haul an Xbox 360 console (although I did not test that theory). However, the Tech Vault pocket (located on top of the main compartment) does take up some of the space with its reinforced walls. The Tech Vault also has a soft liner than can be adjusted with Velcro to better protect smartphones, cameras, or sunglasses. The tablet compartment features a single sleeve (with red “safe” felt material); above it is located an additional pocket with two mesh pouches, while the front most zippered compartment features three pockets – two with expandable mesh, one with a zipper, and several slots for pens. In addition to these four compartments, the Renegade also features six smaller pockets (total) over the external area of the bag and a mesh zippered pocket on one of the straps.

The mesh zippered pocket on the shoulder strap would appear to be ideal for a cell phone, but as I could only juuust squeeze my iPhone 4S in there, it’s probably not great for larger sized cells. There are four pockets distributed on the sides of the bag – both the left and right sides contain one mesh zippered pocket, and a fabric pocket. While the fabric pockets are great for holding things like MP3 players, or business cards, the mesh pockets, which seemed ideal for water bottles, didn’t work so well in practice. The left side pocket has a horizontal strap inside which does a decent job of anchoring in a water bottle; the right side holds a strap more ideal for hanging keys. I did like the Hybrid Unibody Backpanel—the soft back panel on the bag which made the Renegade feel comfortable to wear (no matter how much I crammed into it). I also liked the padded, cut-out designs on the shoulders but felt the padding would have done me more good if it had been on the inside of the straps.
