The Concept 2 is the most durable, well built backpack I have ever owned. I bought one a little more than three years ago and use it for EDC. Usual contents include; a MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad Pro, overnight toiletries, a change of clothes, daily meds, pens, pencils, multiple cables and charging accessories, two flashlights, several other utility items, and a piece with 3 mags. I also use it as traveling luggage. It’s been my carry-on bag on more than a dozen plane trips and endured two cross country car road trips. The heavy duty build quality is superb. I’ve never had a problem with content weight and/or stuffing it to the max. The hardy stitching and reinforcements are perfectly placed. This pack set the bar for me.

Comfortable, professionally designed and worth the cost.

Perfect backpack for everyday use!

The concept 2 fits my needs excellent. I am a teacher and the concept 2 is not spared. The quality of the backpack is superior and all my belongings are well protected.

Overall a great choice for teachers, travelers and people who need a reliable backpack.

Costumer service is also outstanding.

My concept 1 had a material defect and I got an upgrade option for the concept 2. Perfect!

I like this backpack. I use it for my MacBook Pro and my IPad Pro and all the accessories. Very well made. Feels like I will have the bag for many years to come.

Large, high-quality, professional backpack. Offers the option to safely transport a laptop, tablet and many of your on-the-roads equipment.

1. The handle is not big enough around and seems cheap and flimsy.
2. The front pocket doesn’t zip far enough down. If you have anything in the bottom of the front pocket, you can’t see it and have to search around for it.
3. The color contrast is excellent.
4. The shoulder straps need some work.

Great backpack this my second one, 1st one I had for 10 years still in great shape, an accident ruined it and my choice was to buy the same one again.

Absolutely thrilled to have this backpack. I'm an on-the-move cybersecurity professional and business owner and this pack has been everything I need and more. The hardened sunglass case was a bit large for my taste but, I wound up repurposing it for some peripheral devices and business cards. I love the way this bag will stand on its own when I set it down, not mention the corner footings used to add an additional layer of protection for my laptop. The bright inner lining makes things easy to find and I'm a big fan of the RFID-shielding pocket inside. The bigger zippers, the rainfly in the bottom pocket; it's very clear to me a lot of thought went into the design, look and feel of this backpack. I much prefer backpacks over suitcases or man-purses/satchels (even if Indiana Jones did wear one). I can walk into a business meeting with this backpack knowing it makes its own professional appearance.

This is a very solid ride.
If you give a shit about your gear, then pony up for this bag.

Excellent construction and protection for your computer or iPad. Lots of room and lots of pockets. Easy to carry even when it’s full. Well worth the investment.
