Amazing Laptop Protection & Overall Quality

The first thing that caught my eye after pulling it out of the box is the overall quality of the materials and craftsmanship. This backpack is easily on par with high-end luggage like Tumi, but at a fraction of the cost! The most impressive aspect of the backpack is the laptop compartment, which has substantial padding/protection on every side. I am confident that my laptop can withstand just about any drop or impact, while snuggly protected in this bag.While not a significant downside for me…

Pros
  • Love it! It is the perfect size. Well made and I am very happy!
Cons
  • The black color may make it difficult to spot in a dark environment

More than functional

Although it's quite possible that you'll find the aesthetic considerations of the Brenthaven 2095 ProStyle backpack to be less than worthy for accessorizing on the runways of couture fashion shows in Paris or Milan next Spring, it's absolutely great for traversing the runways of an airport right now.My new bag is a replacement for its Brenthaven predecessor, which had logged hundreds of thousands of miles and countless trips as a durable, trustworthy companion; keeping order in at least one…

Pros
  • It simplifies my travel and work stuff.
Cons
  • The backpack may be too bulky for some users

nice upgrade from 18 years ago

I had an old version of this something around 17-18 years old, there was some unusual wear and tear there and they sent me a "free" replacement but it was the smaller model. i never really liked that one. felt like it didn't fit all my junk.Now having upgraded to this i have enough room for everything once again!great backpack for sure

Pros
  • Designed to withstand daily wear and tear, making it perfect for busy students and teachers on the go
Cons
  • The backpack may not be adjustable enough to fit properly on all body types

Disappointed with construction quality

I purchased this to replace its predecessor, a sturdy Brenthaven laptop bag that has lasted me for around 15 years but is finally starting to fall apart. I am returning the new version unused. The build on this expensive pack is not nearly as good as on the previous one, and I'm not even going to bother trying it out. I like the Brenthaven laptop protection system, but I can see the flimsy zippers and carry handle are not going to stand up to the kind of use I give my laptop bag while…

Pros
  • X-ray friendly design, allowing for easy passage through airport security checks
Cons
  • The backpack may not have reflective materials for safety when walking or biking at night

The perfect backpack for students

After a lot of search This is the perfect laptop backpack for students.Buying a backpack is no easy task with millions of options I searched several reviews and pictures to find a perfect backpack which has ample room and is extremely well padded.That as a major requirement for me to ensure that my backpack is well padded because laptops are worth alot and you dont want to skim on quality when it comes its protection.Most backpacks have a flaw that while they are well padded from the front and…

Pros
  • PROTECTION: Has High-Density Foam protection system cradles your laptop from damage. With rugged 1680D Ballistic Nylon exterior and ergonomic padded pack straps and back panel that distribute weight comfortably.
Cons
  • The backpack may not have enough compartments for organization

Little space in a big backpack

I was a bit disappointed by the space management of this rather large backpack (20" x 15" x 7"). The non-Laptop compartment does not accommodate more than a 1" binder which seems like a huge waste of space. I am also not sure if this rather bulky and rigid backpack actually fits under airplane seat in front of you but I doubt it.On the positive side it does have several compartments that help keep smaller stuff organised. The nicely padded and S-shaped straps make carrying comfortable, though I

Pros
  • Adjustable chest strap for added support and stability while carrying heavy loads
Cons
  • The backpack may not have enough ventilation to prevent sweating

Not Cleverly Enough Designed

I'm sorry I bought this. It's not the quality of the pack, but the design I don't like. I don't think I'll by another backpack on line. It's too personal of a purchase. The main problem is there is not enough little pockets, outlet pockets, exterior pockets, compartments. The computer pocket is fine, but should also contain within that same zipper compartment to put other things. Not enough space. Also, for the main compartment is too small and there is only one interior pocket to separate…

Pros
  • Constructed with high-quality materials, including durable water-resistant fabric, to ensure the backpack lasts for years
Cons
  • The backpack may not have an easily accessible water bottle holder

Happy Mom and Happy Teen

I love how strong it is. We did add reflective patches to it so that my child is more visible. Mom happy + child happy = great product

Pros
  • Brenthaven Products are offered with 100 percent Lifetime Quality Guarantee.
Cons
  • The materials used to make the backpack may not be environmentally friendly

I love this backpack

I've gone through dozens of backpacks over the years, and this just might be my all-time favorite. It's so solid, not too heavy, and comfortable to carry, with enough pockets to organize things without getting lost digging for them later.I've taken it on several plane trips and it still looks new. This is my second Brookhaven backpack - I also like the first one, but was looking for a little more carrying room, which this one has. I'm sold on this brand and am totally willing to pay a little…

Pros
  • Features a spacious main compartment with a padded laptop sleeve, suitable for 17-inch Chromebooks and laptops
Cons
  • The backpack may not have enough space to carry textbooks along with electronic devices

5 star--not for aesthetics, but for superb quality

OK, so this backpack won't win awards on the catwalks. If thats important to you look elsewhere. But if you want a plain (but elegantly designed) case to sling over your shoulder (and maybe even buckle up for running across the savanna) look no further. I've had a previous generation of this backpack for almost a decade and I can confidently say that the quality rivals that of military grade stuff. The seams, threads and zippers are all solid! And the canvas is top notch--no cuts or holes after

Pros
  • Sleek black design complements any style or outfit
Cons
  • The backpack may be too "professional" looking for younger students

better than tumi best in my review

I had previously owned a tumi thinking that I had the best. Now I know that I overpaid for what I thought was good and the Brenthaven is both better quality and much better price. All the features are very cool, especilally the abilty to leave my laptop in the backpack through security. Highly recommend for those that do not need a brand that says you overpaid.

Pros
  • Reflective accents for increased visibility during low-light conditions
Cons
  • The backpack may not have a handle for easy carrying when not wearing it

Best Backpack ever - my new review

This backpack came highly recommended and reviewed. All was well deserved. I have had my Brenthaven for 2 years now and it has held up, to a lot of use and abuse, remarkably well. Also since buying this pack I have yet to have to take my computer out for TSA screening. Just unzip, unfold and through the X-ray. My next backpack purchase will be the same brand and same item. But the way things are going with this one that could be decades.

Pros
  • Enough room for storing a change of clothes, snacks, and other personal items
Cons
  • The backpack may not be able to withstand extreme temperatures

High quality, but beware of small size!

This bag's materials seem to be very high quality. The zippers are robust, padding is good (including the "floor padding" of the laptop compartment, which is nice), handle is thick, and nicely round-beveled. Note however, that the main (non-laptop) compartment is very limited, and cannot even hold a large water bottle. It is very wide, however(can even hold a vinyl record as one reviewer on the Brenthaven site noted). The size of the (almost perfectly rectangular) main compartment is: 17"…

Pros
  • Laptop Accessories
Cons
  • The zippers on the backpack may be prone to breaking

Almost A Home Run on my review.

I have been happily carrying a Brenthaven backpack daily for 7 years, and it was time to replace it. I looked at what was available in the local Apple Store and a few other places, but nothing compared to what I had. So I went online to their website and then Revain to see what Brenthaven had out now.My choice was easy - the BF-XF Prostyle is a newer model with a few more pockets, compartments and zippers. It has a separate zippered opening to access only the 17" laptop, which was ideal for my…

Pros
  • COMPATIBILITY: Fits laptops, chromebooks, tablets, macbooks, netbooks, notebooks up to 17 Inches.
Cons
  • The backpack may not be waterproof

I've owned many laptop cases, and the biggest gripe .

I've owned many laptop cases, and the biggest gripe with all of them is side and bottom padding for the laptop itself. This case has PLENTY of it. I've used this for awhile now and it is holding up quite well. It holds an HP Zbook 17. Loving everything about it.07-01-2016 UPDATE:Bag is holding up great. No rips or tears. I use it daily and it holds my 17" HP mobile workstation, Apple Ipad, Wacom pen tablet, and all accessories.

Pros
  • DIMENSION AND WEIGHT: Height- 19 Inches x Width-15.5 Inches x Depth - 11 Inches; Weight- 2.4 LBS.
Cons
  • The backpack may be too small for individuals who need to carry a lot of items

I'm a photographer and have been using this back pack for more than three years, some of which has been under fairly rigorous conditions. It continues to stand up well. I purchased it to protect my rather heavy 17 inch macbook pro. While lots of back packs offer good side protection padding, surprisingly almost none of them offer padding on the bottom, which is where it is really needed to protect the downward facing edge of a laptop. The Brenthaven back pack is the exception which is why I…

Pros
  • Backpacks
Cons
  • The shoulder straps may not provide enough support for heavy loads
