BIKROD L45 15.6 Inch LAPTOP backpack

It’s an unfortunate fact that these days, pretty much everyone has to carry around all sorts of gear: a laptop, the assorted chargers for it and your cell-phone, lunch, planners and documents, a first aid kit (which I’ve actually had to use once!), etc. My previous backpack’s adjustment clips broke, leaving jagged edges which would occasionally catch my clothes and other items, so that forced me to look for new one: enter this item.This backpack includes a feature common in backpacks these days: an external jack with an attachment line for a portable charger that can be stored in an internal pocket. This allows you to run a charging cable from your cellphone directly to the backpack, without having to take out your portable charger and have two items you have to keep up with instead of one. In addition, it also has several other must-have features for me, personally: 1) It has a good number of primary pockets (those that can be accessed externally via zipper): four, as opposed to my former backpack’s three. 2) It has TWO mesh side pockets – one on either side – for beverages. I know, I know: you might think that’s overkill, but I’ve frequently found myself using them both! 3) Good internal capacity: I’ve been able to stuff quite a bit in there, including the aforementioned first aid kit, a full lunch bag, my laptop, some documents, an additional bag of personal items when traveling, two beverage canisters/containers, and assorted pens, charger cables, etc. 4) Dual-zippers for every pocket except the smallest one in the front…this is the “antitheft feature” that the manufacturers are referring to in the description: you can secure these dual zippers with small locks, if necessary. Note that this backpack doesn’t have the internal metal mesh that prevents knife cuts, like the more expensive anti-theft backpacks…but even so, the dual zippers, along with the strong material used for the backpack itself, should serve as an effective deterrent against all but the most determined.As noted, the material used feels strong and sturdy…and so far, I haven’t had any problems with the strap-adjustment clips, like on my previous backpack. Of course, only time will tell regarding this backpack’s ultimate durability…but for now, I can strongly recommend it!

So I was on a journey to find a very good, small/medium backpack at a reasonable price for traveling with a smaller sized laptop (13.6" Thinkpad) and I've finally found it. It seems that every one I've tried before this, had a 'dang it' moment, where I wished it had something else. That said, I have a good amount of experience of what I'd want my perfect one to be, and this is about as close as I think I will get, or care to get. Finally happy with this one. Call me picky, but I know what I want if I'm lugging this thing around, and in/out many times.ProsPadded back with padded strapsZipper pocket on the back (perfect for stuff rarely used)A small strap to hang the backpack flush against the wall (nice for jacket hangers in the close)Strap to fit over luggage handlesPadded carry handle that is big enough for even a big guy's hand2 full sized pockets, including laptop separator with velcro strap (I don't use the velcro, but some folks might like that)2 decent sized pockets (3/4 size and 1/2 size)Dual zippers on every pocket (last one only had it on the main pocket and that sucked)Zippers are large, so strong, but also the hole in them is large enough to add small carabiners (which I do), or a regular sized padlock if you wantedPen and miscellaneous pockets in two of the main areaOutside USB port so you can keep a portable battery hooked up inside the backpack and charge something outsideTwo water bottle holders, one on each side (one backpack came close, but it only had one bottle holder)Look is professional, kind of a gunmetal gray.I don't know what they do with their stitching, but it is solid and I don't see it tearing or frayingDon't know how to say this well, but the material seems thick. It is not thin or flimsy.A superman logo (just kidding)ConsNone so far; I'll post an update if I find anything, but after many years of searching, I think I would pick them up right away.

Whether for work, school, travel, or work, this laptop bag is the absolutely perfect size. You can fit your laptop, a couple binders, some headphones, a wallet, and an extra pair of shoes with ease. I do it everyday. Throw it on your back, and it's so lightweight, you'll forget it's there.

This is a solid backpack for short trips and day to day commuting. My old bag needed to be replaced so I got this one and I have loved it so far. I carry a lot of stuff for day-to-day work so Im glad it was all able to fit in here. The padding is nice and comfortable and is breathable. The material of this is solid and is water resistant after a large rain shower. The USB port was nice as I was able to connect my power bank to it making it easy to charge my phone on the go. The best thing about this is the weight distribution on this backpack. It aligns perfectly on my back and my shoulders don’t carry to much of the weight or does that fall on my lower back. I have had this problem with backpacks before. Overall, this is a solid commuter or short trip backpack for anyone and I recommend this to all.

This laptop bag has a lot going for it. Some of the things I like about it are:- Material feels durable and water resistant (haven't tested it out in the rain yet, but it seems like it can hold up)- Zippers are solid and smooth- Comfortable to use- Spacious with plenty of pockets, without being too heavy- Hidden back pocket - love this feature for quick access to things like wallet and cellphone- Luggage strap - comes in very handy for travel- Low costThis backpack basically ticks off all of the checkboxes for what I wanted in a backpack for both daily use when commuting to the office, as well as being a good daypack for travel. The price is also great, not just compared to brand names, but also to other generic brands. I'm just nitpicking here, but the only thing I would have liked was if the USB port was the newer 'C' instead of the 'A' style.
