Samsonite Tectonic 2 Large Backpack, Black/Orange, 18 x 13.3 x 8.6

This is a good backpack. I use it for work (manufacturing facility) and the gym and the size is perfect. It will fit in a locker at work and at the gym. The zippers are well-built and can take a lot of stress. I usually carry 2 water bottles in the smaller front pouch and the bag has held up well even with that much weight and volume in the bag. I've bought other backpacks on Amazon, but they were more cheaply made and the zippers broke with everyday use. I've had this one over a year now and everything is still completely intact. The small pocket at the top is good for carrying your keys, sunglasses, wallet, etc and my work laptop has never been damaged using the back pocket. Backpacks are performance items, so for this type of item you get what you pay for.

Bought as a gift , very sturdy , plenty of pockets , spacious

I mainly bought this backback because it has a luggage loop to easily attach to a wheeled suitcase. I got sick of my old laptop bag constantly falling off my suitcase (no one wants to wear a backpack if they don't have to).But after having this bag for a few months, it's quite clear how well thought out the design is. The padding is solid and it's quite roomy - I can fit all my laptop peripherals as well a few extra items with no trouble, and the large pouches on the side can actually fit my large 40oz water bottle, a rarity in my expericne! Easy access phone compartment is another great addition. Lots of little pouches and separators help you keep things organized. The laptop compartment has double zippers and is large and well padded. Two loops at the top give you the option of having a thick handle to carry it with or a small handle to hang it from, and of course the luggage loop so that you can attach to a suitcase handle. Clearly someone put some time into developing a backpack that's well equipped for just about any scenario.Perfect for travel or just going to the coffee shop!

Overall, I am pleased with this backpack. It is durable and comfortable to wear, and true to the description. One drawback is the main compartment has interior material on both sides of the zippered track. The material is stitched in the lower part of the bag and it's supposed to fold inwards when the bag is closed; however, I find that it often gets snagged when zipping the bag closed. I think that issue could have been avoided when designing the product. It's a minor but constant annoyance, and I didn't expect it from the great brand that Samsonite is.

Disc. I am a college student studying to be a Computer Network Support specialist, and believe that having a great dependable bag to hold my laptop for classes and future internship of basic computer responsibilities and troubleshooting and diagnosing computer networks on the go, I would definitely choose this bag even though it cost me almost $90. But how I see it is, if the item helps you greatly price matters not.I have been waiting to post a review about the Samsonite Tectonic second generation backpack for a little while, but I had to field test this first and help customers looking for a large backpack to find what they need with all honesty. It has simply put been the best backpack I have ever had, I owned the first generation backpack, but was disappointed in that because when set down to stand on its own it would keep falling, but now with better more sturdier materials this backpack is surely a milestone in improved quality and overall performance.It’s largerThe water bottle holders on the sides have been improved. Unlike the annoying red strap holder on the first Gen backpackBetter laptop only sleeve in which come in two sizes to match the size of a laptop from 15'' to 18'' laptops.The inside pockets are more suede and pose less scratch, chances to devices and objects.The backpack straps are vastly improved and much more comfortable than the 1st Gen Tectonic.Overall, it truly is the best laptop backpack I have ever owned.I hope this first review has helped you in deciding to buy or look into this great Laptop bag. Samsonite Tectonic 2 Large Backpack Grey

This is a high-quality backpack, made with durable materials and very spacious.

I had used another manufacturer and liked all the room I had in it. But the zipper broke after a year. So I bought this on as it was a Samsonite. It has nice size, good pocket variation, and seems to be sturdy. I haven't used it for travel yet, so I will be curious as to how I like it for travel. I don't expect an issue, but never know until you need to use it.

Samsonite quality. Great replacement for my old travel pack.
