OGIO Commuter Messenger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spent several weeks reviewing different wheeled backpacks that also provide a capability to carry a laptop.The purpose for the use of the backpack was about a one month European trip involving hotels and trains.This backpack performed superbly.In the main compartment I carried an AC charger for the laptop; two small umbrellas; a camera case containing a camcorder, digital camera, and miscellaneous batteries, tapes, etc.; prescription meds; at times up to two small jackets; and one to two MP2 players, e.g., Sony Walkman. I was amazed at how much that compartment held.The smaller compartment held the laptop and several papers dealing with train information, hotel reservations, and maps from train stations to the hotels.Finally, the two front zipper compartments were used to hold two Kindles.When using the backpack with the wheels, it balanced well and dealt with European cobblestones too.The handle worked well too.I did not use the backpack as a backpack that much, but when I did, the straps were wide and soft enough so that it was not too uncomfortable -- I am a senior citizen.At times, it weighed up to close to 30 pounds, including the backpack itself and the items.

The only small negative I would point out is that the strap/handle at the top of the backpack, while holding up for the month, is not large, and I am not sure how long the stitching would hold up if one were to pick it up constantly.There are no other handles or straps except for the one on the top.

Overall, I would rate this a "top quality" backpack, and I recommend it, at least for the purpose I had in mind.
