Concept 2 Rucksack

I bought this bag nearly 2 years ago. I'm the father of an extremely competitive athlete and we on the road pretty much every weekend for 8 months of the year. This bag has been with us across 23 states now and is still going strong. I literally use this bag every single day. Hardly any wear. No issues with zippers. I've never had a better bag.

I can't say enough good things about this bag. the level of protection for my iPad and laptop (Alienware X17 R2) are beyond any bag I've had before. The soft lining not only helps protect against scuffs and scratches, but elevates the quality of the bag and shows Everki's attention to detail. The level of fit and finish is similarly top tier across the entire product, from the organization to the zippers. The hard case for sunglasses is an amazing addition and is large enough to safely hold my shades and my mouse with room to spare. I love the addition of the RFID pocket. The design of the bag feels more professional than the typical laptop pack, without sacrificing any of its functionality; a perfect middle ground. The quick access pouch on the front has already proven to be very useful, and the bottom storage pocket for the rain cover can be reallocated for other uses by not carrying the cover or storing it elsewhere in the bag. I appreciate the divider in the main pouch as it helps me in my need to hyper organize things into specific areas of the bag. The only bag I've ever had that comes close is my Filson Briefcase, but I can only carry a 15" laptop in that so it is sadly not functional for carrying my tech around anymore and I really don't like needing two bags to transport everything.

My only two nitpicky critiques for improvement would be that I wish there were more pen slots (an admittedly unique request for being an architect), and the sternum strap tends to get hooked under the shoulder strap when putting the bag on until things get broken in enough that it rest more loosely. These don't even come close to making me regret the purchase though, and I consider the bag to be well worth the price tag.

All as advertised. One issue is the zipper (very heavy duty) on the back pocket is stuck and will not release. I cannot imagine what would allow a fix or replacement. Major PITA. That sucks but otherwise, the bag is very high quality.
In order to access the computer laptop pocket, you have to bend the straps forward otherwise you are blocked from removal (e.g. when sending it through airport scan. No big deal, but just a slight inconvenience.)

Solid - wish it had more pockets in the front for quick items. Don't want to have to open up one of the main compartments to access frequently used items. Side pockets don't have zippers

Great backpack. The most organized back pack I have ever owned. I am a very heavy air traveler. This bag works if you travel long domestic flights or long international flights. And besides being durable and well organized, the bag has a very professional ready for business look.

While this is clearly a well constructed product, it's storage capacity is a bit underwhelming. Don't expect to fit a ton in here.

This is the best bag ever for traveling. Roomy, organized, comfortable on my shoulders (5’1” female). I had one liked it so much I gave it to my husband for use and got another. There is no backpack like it.

I have the backpack (concept 2) for over five years already. After so much time and travels through Europe, Switzerland and Thailand i noticed signs of daily use of the C2.
I was worried about it and then contacted Paul at the Everki company. The answer was very fast, competent and helpful.
Only less than 24 hours have I received several options . Because I bought the bag in Germany but are currently in another territory of Europe, I was offered that I could get a new Everki on my current address. In less than 48 hours, the new Concept 2 has just been sent to me.

Nowadays, it is very difficult to find such a good service and guarantee for a product. With Paul's competence and willingness to help, as well as with the company's promise, I was overjoyed and very enthusiastic. If only 1% of the world’s best-known companies had just half so good quality of service and of their products like Everki, this world would be significantly better. There is no question for me what kind of backpack I will buy next time. Simple and easy. THE NAME: EVERKI
Paul!! Thank U again!

Just received this backpack and it is the best made and designed laptop backpack I have ever purchased. I've tried multiple laptop bags over the last 20 years and this one stands well above the rest. Can't comment on longevity or the wear facture at this stage but all materials and construction look exemplary. I'm using to carry a brand new Lenovo P73 workstation....and the fit is excellent regarding width...with a touch tight on the height at the corners. Ergonomic and weight distribution fit superb.

This bag is perfect for business trips! I use mine all the time and I am never worried about my electronics being damaged inside while going from airport to airport. The bag has plenty of padded compartments and it also has lots of very cool features. I love the style of the bag and how lightweight it actually is. I highly recommend this bag! I'm obsessed with mine!
