Renegade Backpack (Renegade, Black Pindot)

The quality and functionality of this backpack is amazing! I travel often for work and pleasure all over the world. I’ve had this bag for a full year and it has held up amazingly! It has served as my backpack on 4 trips to Hawaii from the east coast, 4 trips to Europe, 3 Caribbean vacations and over a dozen smaller trips. I also carry this to work every single day and use it as my gym bag. Suffice to say it has held up incredibly throughout! It is comfortable and provides plenty of organization options for anyone’s packing needs. I particularly love the small touches like the rigid eyeglass pocket on top and the strap for putting it on my spinner handle. I travel carry-on only for every work trip and vacation so that feature is a must have. After a full year of heavy use it only has a couple of minor cosmetic blemishes. Extremely impressed! The only negative (if it’s even really a negative) is that the laptop pocket is almost over engineered and eats in the the main storage compartment a bit more than I would prefer. However, your electronics are incredibly protected in there and that is clearly what Ogio was going for. All in all this is the best daily and travel backpack I have owned to date. Highly recommended!

I have had more than 20 backpacks over the years, and I have wanted this one for a very long time. I was always apprehensive to buy it because of the price. If you are on the fence about buying this backpack, just do it. I wish I had bought it years ago. Pros The material is very tough, but it doesn't make the bag inflexible. The top handle is strong and well padded. The pockets on the sides are very handy for chargers and cables, but large enough for lots of things. The one side pocket that opens up into a water bottle holder is very well designed, and I love the elastic strap that you can put over the top of the water bottle to keep it in place. The arm straps are strong, well padded, and curved in a way that it stays on your shoulders better Neutral The RSS laptop area provides great protection for your laptop, but makes it difficult to get the laptop in and out of the pocket due to the limited opening at the top. Cons The arm straps are shorter than I'm used to with other backpacks. Even when extended all the way, it is difficult to get the backpack over a medium-weight jacket. It would be nice if there were a few more elastic or zippered pockets in the front two compartments

I bought this bag in August of 2021. I am a teacher, and it has received daily use, being packed and opened and closed dozens of times a day. This is my fifth year using this pack, and there is not one rip in the fabric, not one broken zipper, or any other damage. It holds everything I need it to. Another teacher friend of mine had the same backpack and one zipper came off the track after many years of use. He called them, and they sent him a brand new replacement. He did have to send back the original bag, but they replaced it with no questions asked. Great quality product and great company.

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

This is an incredibly well-made backpack as are all OGIO products. I've had many of their backpacks over the past 20 years! I bought this to replace my OGIO "Gambit" backpack which is almost identical to this "Renegade" model. The one difference is the zippered laptop compartment in the back. On the "Gambit" that compartment unzips all the way around the back pack on both sides. On the "Renegade", the laptop compartment is much sturdier and more padded, but as a result it only unzips across the top. While the compartment opening is wide enough it's very shallow so it is extremely snug on your laptop. The major downside for me is that it's so snug, I can barely get my hands in there without scraping them on the stitching. This may not be an issue for others, but for me, it was actually painful. So while it offers fantastic protection for your computer or tablet - It is hard on the hands!

Only had it a couple of weeks, so I can't speak to long-term durability. Very well-organized laptop pack. Description says a small 17" laptop will fit, but my 17" (1 3/16" thick) engineering workstation fits, albeit snugly. Well-padded laptop compartment. Lots of external pockets for everything I need. Cavernous compartment for files, notebooks etc. My portable 17" monitor just fits in there, along with my notepad, several file folders, an umbrella and my rain shell. I am a consultant and travel every week. There is plenty of room for all the devices and cables that I need. Pockets are designed so that the pack is low-profile and will fit under any seat in any aircraft. Customer service is fantastic. I accidentally broke off my sternum strap, so I called to get a replacement...they replaced the entire laptop case! Very comfortable fully loaded on my back with plenty of padding and comfortable shoulder straps. Sternum strap is highly adjustable and slides up and down on a rail. I'm 6', 200 pounds and I have the shoulder straps adjusted at the full length. Anyone larger might need to extend those straps. If you like to carry a water bottle, it doesn't accommodate them well. I just put mine in the main compartment.

I spent an extended period of time looking at backpacks to carry my Lenovo W541 I use for work. I finally opted for the OGIO Renegade because of the numerous reviews and build quality that OGIO has put into their products. I was originally using a Logitech KINETIK 15.4 Backpack that began to fall apart at the seams, literally; the main zipper compartment began fraying at the zipper in the corners. This was when I looked hard at OGIO but was reluctant because of the cost of their products, however after watching numerous videos and watching numerous road warriors stick copious amounts of gear in the bag effortlessly, I was pretty convinced and took the plunge. When I received the bag I was very satisfied with my purchase because of the build quality I had mentioned earlier; the entire construction of the bag was better than most of the other backpacs I've used over my lifetime, including Jansport's and Eastpak's. The layout is very dynamic, having specific pockets that were designed for things like a water bottle, your AC adapter, a dedicated laptop pocket that did not require opening up the main pockets, a isolated and protected eyeglass pocket, a table pocket, etc. The design of the bag is such that each pocket allows you to put lots of additional gear in them without occupying too much space in other pockets, especially the main front pocket which is made for your personal items, small accessories like wireless mouse, wallet and keys; I keep a large pair of over-ear Denon headphones (Urban Raver) in the very front pocket and still have lot's of space in the secondary pocket where the tablet pouch is. I also keep an 18650 battery charge and small screwdriver toolkit as well as an Amazon Basic's Universal Travel Case for Small Acessories and Electronics which holds all my vaping gear and still have lots of additional room. The suspension system that is used for the laptop pocket is one of the more intelligent designs I've seen for laptop bags, allowing the carrier to have a dedicated pocket that doesn't intrude to the other storage areas and protects the laptop from drops. The bag was obviously designed with the 'Road Warrior' type traveler, having lots of options for storage that the carrier can decide how to use. The other great feature of this bag is the stitching and riveting; the bag has double stitches in high tension areas as well as rivets for the main bag handle at the top, something that is lacking in many other bags of similar design. My only negative about this bag would come down to the straps; I'm a short, stocky guy who must pull the straps to their longest position to use this bag effectively, however the quality of the straps is of high grade materials and I have no fear that they are going to give out at any time. There is also some good design implementations on the straps themselves having a dedicated pocket on the straps for ear buds and an mp3 player (and the small gap that allows the wires to be threaded through) as well as a small logo strap above the earbud pocket that a cellphone holster can be attached to. All the materials for the straps are solid and distribute the load of the bag evenly without tugging on stitched points causing unnecessary wear and tear. TL;DR summary; this is the best road warrior bag you can currently buy without spending hundreds more on an all-leather bag or major luggage brand (think Tumi, Ricardo or high-end Samsonite). Tons of pockets to carry everything imaginable and lots of built in features to make traveling, whether local commuting or air travel, very simple and convenient. Would recommend to anyone that uses a backpack daily, especially in IT fields.

Great backpack! A lot of storage, able to hold portable monitors and laptop with numerous accessories. Zippers are extremely durable. I fly with mine constantly and have no issues.

Muy buena calidad,si tengo que poner un pero es el tamaño interior,me parece un poco pequeño.

The bag is really good the only thing in sunglass holder is very awkwardly placed and a little difficult to use

What a nice backpack. I like it so much that I’m feeling bad to take it for a bike ride and come back smelling like petrol
