Review on πŸŽ’ Static OGIO International Laptop Backpack by Amy Taylor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I have several OGIO products and I love them all.

I have several OGIO products and love them. I highly recommend this brand. I always find OGIO very high quality and super functional for the money. The Newt 15 backpack is no exception. I have a static color and I really like it. It's not canvas or fabric as it seems, but it's very durable and seems resistant to dirt and stains, which is a plus. It's not waterproof, but I wouldn't worry about getting caught in the rain with it. For what this bag was designed for, I definitely give it 5 stars! It is designed to carry electronics in a very safe, soft and gentle environment. And this is where the backpack really shines. It's also very thin, which can also be a plus. I have received compliments on this bag from both men and women. This bag has only two negative points for me. First, the straps are very soft and stiff. I'm waiting for them to soften up a bit, still after a few months of use. And second, if you're carrying more than just electronics, accommodating everything you need could be a problem. I read another review that said the bag turns into a big ball when you stuff it. I thought that was right. When you try to pack a lot of things in a backpack, it bulges at the back, which is a bit awkward and can look pretentious. So for a person who needs to carry around a lot of books with a computer or whatever, it wouldn't be ideal. A computer and maybe a book and some files. No problem. I found a backpack for my general daily needs, I prefer the Ogio Soho backpack, it has more space for other things so no need for a second bag or purse, also it has a water bottle holder on either side of the backpack. This Newt 15 has none of that. And once I had to put a sweater in this backpack, I couldn't close it completely. So it's subtle but gets the job done in style!

Pros
  • Padded five bar back panel for maximum comfort
Cons
  • Minor issues
