BANGE Business Commute Backpack Waterproof fit 15 6 Inch Commute backpack Travel Durable Backpack

This is the perfect backpack for ME. Who it’s for- People with a lot of small items that need organizing to keep things separate Who it’s not for- Someone who wants a huge bag to dump bulky items in. My use case- I use this bag for work as an aircraft painter, and I am a tech nerd who likes to read. This bag has a ton of pockets, I use one for a phone charger / wallet / keys and anything else small I need day to day, one for utensils/ snacks, one for work tools like a screw driver / knife and flashlight, one for a sweater and change of shirt and the flat pocket at the back for my iPad or laptop and a magazine or book. Pros- Super great for organization, looks great, awesome build quality, lightweight, built in charging cables are so far super durable, plenty of room in the bigger pocket for random knick knacks, enough space to use as an overnight bag for a day or two if needed. Cons- Ships folded and takes about a week to get its shape, and the stupid water bottle pocket is useless for anything other than a 16oz plastic water bottle. I have an 18oz yeti rambler insulated bottle (super small) and it doesn’t even get close to fitting, I make cut the liner out and use it as a pass through pocket. Read more

Update, 6 months later: nothing about my review has changed. This bag is still great. Original review: This backpack is well padded, lots of pockets, and holds up very well. I've been using mine basically every day for 11 months and it still looks and feels new. I'm not exaggerating on that. The outside material of the bag has a nice pseudo rubbery finish, so it sheds water well and is extremely easy to clean with a damp paper towel. I wouldn't trust this bag to keep water out if I wanted to go jogging in a rain storm, but for any quick in and outs in the rain, you'll be just fine. The only two gripes I have--and these are very minor--is: 1. the little brackets on the straps that keeps them sized properly slip just a little over time, so they need occasional adjustment. There's a little loop strap to feed the extra length of the main strap through, and that does help some, especially if you snug it up against the bracket. 2., the bottom part of the front, beneath the large front pocket, will crease if you use the front pocket for as much stuff as I do. I love the front pocket as its a little bit on the rigid side, which allows it to retain its shape even when empty or mostly empty. I can just pop the zippered flap up and drop stuff in or reach in easily to fish around for whatever I need. The laptop compartment is great, suspends your laptop off the floor and is well cushioned in the back. I don't usually use a tablet when I carry my laptop (which is almost always), so I just use the smaller slot for papers or odds and ends. The middle compartment (I got the one with two main compartments) is decently sized, though a little snug when the bag is well stuffed in the front and has my laptop in the back. I usually use this compartment for chargers, extra cords, etc. Both the front and middle pockets have mesh pouches inside, which is great for organization. I keep some sunscreen, extra toothbrush/toothpaste, and other travel toiletries in the middle mesh slot, and frequently used smaller things in the front compartment. This bag is great. The side pocket for drinks is nicely sized and easy to access. This pocket is lined with a water-proof (though I wouldn't want to test that if I had a choice lol), so you don't need to worry about the condensation from a cold drink leaking into the other compartments. There's a small "secret compartment" on the back for you to put important items like credit cards, wallet, etc., though due to it's location, if you fill it up overmuch, the pocket will jut out a little and won't be as comfortable on your lower back. With nothing (or very little) in that pocket, this backpack is VERY comfortable to wear. The stitching is also great, I habitually grab the bag using the right shoulder strap, as this is the one I use to slide it on or off my back usually when I'm getting in/out of the car. Once I realized I'd been doing this multiple times a day since I got it, I was a little concerned about how much extra stress I was putting on that strap. After a cursory inspection, however, you can't even tell that the right strap is used more than the left. The top handle is very rigid and tough. It's well placed and very useful for moving the bag around when you're picking it up. As I've mentioned in other places above, the overall build quality of this bag is incredible for the price. I'm blown away by how well it's held up with all the use I get out of it. The manufacturer knows what they're doing in this regard, not to mention the overall functionality of the design and aesthetic itself. I've gotten multiple complements on this bag, especially right after I got it. At this point, if anything ever happens to this backpack, I will immediately by another one right away--no hesitation. The best backpack I have EVER owned. Read more

Very nice backpack for traveling. I took it to Ireland and it was everything I needed. Spacious as well as weather resistant. Very simple to use with multiple pockets as well as hidden pockets to keep things like your passports secured and safe. Blue color was perfect was exactly as shown in the photo above. Read more

I love my backpack. It's stylish, it punches way above its weight in terms of looks. I even like the size I take one star off because I think it missed the mark and not designing the first pocket with a compartment that could hold smaller objects. Think Wallet keys, etc. I also really wish it had an internal tether so you could click your keys to it and it would be inside your backpack. I find that very useful when I travel. However, I will say I got a lot of stuff packed into that backpack on my last trip. And everybody thought it was very stylish and commented on it. So I think the pack is excellent for the value, the padding is solid. I felt like all of my devices were well protected. There is a pocket in the second compartment, and if that pocket was moved to the first compartment, I think the backpack would be ideal for me. There's enough pockets, I'd always like to have more, but my opinion it's the organization between those two that bother me. I found the backpack to be well-made, durable and comfortable. It sat on my shoulders really nicely. I'm 510 to 511 and 230 pounds and I thought that it worked really well. Read more
