Gambit Backpack (Gambit, Black)

Was searching for a good replacement for my old worn out Targus bag, and decided to give this one a try based on other reviews and pictures. Super happy I did. Love this bag. Have been using it for a few months. This bag has a TON of compartments and storage space. The old Targus bag I had was physically the same size as the Gambit, but I never had enough space, and it was super heavy and uncomfortable to wear. I typically carry a 15" laptop, 15" aux display and a couple diagnostic tools, along with other cords/cables and things needed for daily work and travel. The Targus felt like I was shoving stuff in always over loaded, and with the Gambit I have a ton of space left over it seems. Super functional pockets and compartments that seem like just the right size for what I have to carry. Quality seems very good, heavy duty zippers, and I really like the look as well. It seems like a very well built and very comfortable to wear, so I hope it lasts me a very long time.

After 8 years of use both nationally and internationally, it was finally time to retire my Tumi backpack. I literally spent a couple of weeks researching laptop backpacks at price points ranging from $30 up to $200 and finally settled on the Ogio Gambit. Not only is this backpack cool looking, its quality is better than I expected. There's plenty of storage space with lots of pockets. FYI, this is not a small backpack. However, not as large as its big brother the Ogio Renegade. I work in the IT field so I carry two laptops, various cables, power supplies, external hard drives, mouse, notepad, pens, post-it's, etc. Because of its many pockets, every thing is neatly stored. Within the "laptop" compartment there is a pocket labeled "small", this will accommodate a tablet (in my case a Surface Pro 3), 8 inches wide, while the main section should fit a slim 17inch laptop, I have a 15inch HP Elitebook 840 G3 and it fits with room to spare. So within the "Laptop" compartment I'm storing my HP AND Surface Pro3. Below the "Laptop" compartment there is a small pocket which Ogio says is for a digital camera or mouse. Within this compartment there are 2 additional small pockets. Yes, this backpack has a lot of pockets! The "Main" compartment is large, again keeping with the same no such thing as to many pockets theme, and has two pockets that are the width of the backpack. Gym cloths and a pair of shoes are easily accommodated within this section. Below the "main" compartment is another zippered compartment with... you guessed it MORE pockets! On of which is labeled "Tablet" while the opposite pocket is a zippered enclosure. I actually use this section to hold the various cables and portable hard drives I carry. Finally, there's the front most and smallest (don't be fooled by the word "smallest") compartment. This sections is pocket paradise! There are 5 dedicated pen holders, 2 open pockets, and 1 zippered pocket. On the top and sides of the backpack there are 5 more pockets! The top pocket is called the "Tech Vault", which is a rigid and zippered, great for sunglasses or anything you don't want smashed. The 2 top side pockets are also zippered and are of good size, I store my mouse in one of them. The 2 bottom side pockets are also zippered, Ogio claims these are "Dual side water bottle/accessory holders". The bottom pocket on the left (if facing the front of the backpack) has an adjustable elastic cord which can be used to secure a water bottle. The bottom pocket on the right does not, though it does contain an elastic strap. However, it's NOT adjustable. The shoulder straps are padded, but not overly so. I'd actually prefer a little more padding, I was spoiled by my Tumi backpack. lol Additionally, there is a luggage pass-through which is a nice touch. Oh I almost forgot, the chest strap is adjustable, another nice touch. Bottom line, this is an awesome backpack for the price and I do recommend it to my fellow organizational, slightly excessive compulsive road warriors. :)

This is my third Ogio backpack in 6 years. The first one had a minor fault after about 11 months and Ogio replaced it at no cost to me (awesome customer service). The second lasted almost 5 years through riding motorcycles, travel to foreign countries, and more motorcycles. It had to be retired due to fabric starting to tear and stitches coming out. With that being said, this backpack will be a perfect replacement for my old one. Firstly, there's something like 11 pockets that can be opened from the outside! That may seem like a lot, but they're placed well and all come with heavy duty zippers. I like having a dedicated pocket for a laptop (I have a Surface tablet that I use daily) that is between my back and the main compartment for 2 reasons: 1. It prevents me from feeling lumpy objects in the main compartment, and 2. If I'm on the bike and I have to ride in the rain, there's a lower chance of it getting wet. The materials seem to be made of a heavier duty fabric than my last backpack, which gives me hope that it will last longer than it's predecessor. Another great feature is the padded pockets for tablet and laptop, as well as the moulded and padded pocket for glasses. I have enough room to carry a change of clothing, a small emergency first aid kit, battery pack for charging devices, as well as a few small survival items. This is basically a perfect bug-out bag, but still small enough to be carried every day and have extra room to spare. The shoulder straps are very comfortable and seem as though I won't have any issues wearing this for long periods. At the end of the day, Ogio has yet to disappoint me in the almost 10 years I've been buying their products (I have other things from that far back too). I'm glad to see the quality of their products has stood the test of time.

This is to replace my old OGIO backpack. This is virtually identical, but it has a couple of extra features. I travel a lot and this is perfect. Can fit plenty in there, but it never feels too heavy due to the distribution and good quality straps. Pockets are good size, well designed and very practical. My last one lasted 4-5 years, i expect this will be the same, and considering what I put it through, that is good!

This is the backpack to lasted for years . Rugged design, many compartments, metal zip. OGIO really brand for its quality

Conforme à la description. Super fonctionnel !!

This is the second backpack I've had that is this exact model. These backpacks are very well made. They are incredibly durable. Plenty of different compartments for storing all sorts of stuff. Mine has always been overloaded, it's never weighed less than 55 lb, I carry tools and wrenches and truck parts and everything in it. They're amazing.

Es una excelente backpack, le cabe prácticamente todo lo que ocupas para un viaje de negocios, y te permite organizar muy bien tus cosas para un fácil acceso, desde tu pasaporte, hasta tu pc y más. Yo por ejemplo llevo mi pc y un monitor portátil y caben súper bien. El compartimiento de la parte superior rígido ora lentes, es muy práctico y puedes guardar ahí cosas de acceso rápido o que no quieras que se aplasten. No es un mounstro de mochila, pero puedes llevar muchas cosas contigo. Super recomendada.
