I dont usually write reviews but i read them alot and base my purchases on them. Im writing this review because i feel the negative reviews are NOT warented. No bag is a perfect fit for everyone and every need. That being said, this is a great bag. Great material big heavy duty zippers and great construction. here are my thoughts on the negative reviews. i will give the negative review then my opinon;
1) bag by itself is heavy
A) who carries an empty bag? and yet the same review says bag is lighter than expected when full. heavy by itself and lighter than expected when full? hopefully you can see my issue with this one.
2)straps are too short.
A) I am only 5'7" so i cant comment on this one except they are fine for me and have plenty of room for adjustment
3)bag does not stand upright
A) mine does. i did take the hard board out of the laptop compartment though as i dont like that ( more on that later)
4) pouches are too small to fit anything useful in them
A) i can fit all kinds of things in them from keys notepads sync or charger cables headphones(earbuds) extra camera battery and charger
beleive it or not you dont have to use every pocket only for the intended or labled purpose.
5)back pain
A) REALLY???? Sipping this one
6)doesnt fit under airline seat when flat
A) havnt flown with this yet. if it doesnt fit then this pack sure holds alot. and it does
7) red stain from laptop pocket
A) i havnt encountered this but again i did take out the hard board wich gave it a real snug fit ( i like it better without the hard board)
8)starap mounted phone pocket is too small
A) YES IT IS!!! i use it for my ipod wich works great and it has the headphone hole (works great for that) and i like my phone in my pocket anyway because its easier to get to than unzipping a pocket
9)water bottle holder is not a "true waterbottle holder"
A) that is correct. it is more of another pocket wich i like better. i never really need water at a quick draw location. i usually dont walk for miles without stopping at points in between and i can use the zippered pocket for other things. it will hold a water bottle though just not as well as others
10) laptop charger pocket is too small
A) depends on your charger. Again you dont have to use all pockets for their labeled use. put things where they fit. there is plenty of room
11) pen holders are too far down and damage pens
A) just not true. they dont even go to the bottom of the bag to hit on the ground when you set bag down
12)No key clip in front pocket as advertised – the tag on the bag shows a key clip however this is not present on the final product.
A) should of read the tag properly. it clearly says not all features included in every bag. it is simply an advertisment of their "red protection" style of pockets
13)doesnt fit 17" laptop
A) no it wont. it says in the description "fits most 15" laptops. if you have a 17' try the gambit bag. same as the renegade without the "RSS" system wich shortens the laptop pocket by a few inches.
About the hardboard in the laptop cpocket: there is a piece of hard plastic like board that is in the laptop pocket. it is on the front bottom and back of the pocket and is one piece. it makes the laptop a very snug fit. i didnt like it, and it was bent from packaging making uncomfortable to where also. i simply turned the pocket inside out and pulled out the hard board ( had to bend it to get it out) that made the pocket have much more room and a better fit. it also allowed the pack to rest flat against my back.
Overall this is a very well made and good looking pack with lots of room and plenty of organization ( assuming your smart enough to put things where they fit) Oh ant the crush proof tech vault is an awsome idea and love it. Great pack and am very happy. i will update after a few months of abuse. hope this helps

Excellent Product and Customer Service
Bag:I purchased this bag, per the recommendation of a colleague. I've only been using it to go back and forth between my home and office, as I haven't had any out of state travel for work since owning it. The backpack is very comfortable, and has all sorts of pockets to hold various items (mouse, pens, laptop, sunglasses, etc.). I'm a big fan of the luggage slot that allows it to slip on the luggage handle, as that is how I prefer to go through the airport. The main pocket is a bit big for what I normally need, so I bought an insert that provides more pockets and spaces for organizing. However, I would in no way say the big pocket is a negative. If I ever wanted to put a day or two worth of clothes, sweatshirt, etc. into the bag, I can just take out the additional organizer, and I'd be ready to go.Customer Service:I've had the bag since January, but only started using it in February. On Monday, I noticed some unraveling on one of the shoulder straps (see photo), so I called customer service. They were very responsive, immediately put the claim in, and offered to send me a new model, or the same model I already had with cost not being an issue if I upgraded. They also emailed me the pre-paid shipping label to send the defunct bag back.TL;DR - I love the bags features and comfort, OGIO's customer service is excellent, and I will definitely buy from OGIO in the future.
