Targus 15.6" Spruce EcoSmart Checkpoint Friendly Backpack, Made From Recycled Bottles, Durable, TSA Friendly, 27L (TBB013US)

I really like this rucksack for many reasons: * It is relatively light and feels very comfortable on my back, event with 2 laptops, a tablet and other stuff. The rucksack seems to help distribute the weight well. * It looks good. The black outer shell is tasteful and simple with a few touches of green to match the interior colour. * Its made from recycled material and has been assembled with a high degree of quality. * 4 different compartments means its great for organising stuff. - The back compartment is designed to hold 1 laptop completely padded. This section has room to hold two laptops, although you will want to add a little extra padding at the bottom of the rucksack for the second one, or add a padded sleeve if you want to be sure. - The middle compartment is great for holding a lot of paperwork, books or clothes. There is a large mesh pocket to separate cables, socks or toiletries. - The front section is more of an organiser section. There is room for business cards, pens and other small items. - The very front section is just a pocket, useful for things you want to get at quickly. Things that I didnt like so much: * There is only one side holder on the back that can hold a bottle of water, however it is expandable and should hold very large bottles so its not the problem I first thought. The pocket on the other side is useful however for holding a music player and there is a slot to pass through a cable for headphones and still keep the pocket zipped up. Overall there is a good amount of space and the bag is of good quality. It is a great bag for a developer or student on the go. It would be good for a trip away for a few days or a long weekend. Thank you.

This is THE best bag I've ever owned. I bought this for my third year as an Undergraduate student. I had to commute for an hour each way, every day to get to University, as well as then get to work afterwards. This thing is still going strong with only minor wear and tear on the shoulder straps which takes the form of rubbing wear and some slight misshaping from the weight they support - nothing major really. A summary of main features: • The bottle holder easily holds a 30cm circumference bottle. • The laptop holder easily takes my 15inch macbook pro with a thick laptop case. • The multitude of pockets have a lovely lining which fills me with confidence in wet and windy weather, as well as being able to withstand light impact from hustle and bustle of a commute. • Shoulder strap adjustment is very easy and the back padding fits my back perfectly. • Third pocket from the front gets most use (stores laptop charger, books, deodorant, and occasionally some food) and shows no signs of wear at all. • With the laptop in, the main compartment (fourth from the front) has little room for much else but can easily fit in an A4 pad of paper or a folded waterproof top. • The outer material feels similar to the synthetic motorbike gear such as gortex or other similar stuff - rugged and tough but light. Some reviews state that the bag doesn't feel like it could take much of an impact on the bottom, and I would have to agree but I ALWAYS put my laptop in a nice thick case anyway so it's not a big deal. The bag does tend to want to fall forward when placed on the floor, which is a mild inconvenience at worst. Just to put it in perspective, I've had this bag a while and it still feels and looks as good as when it was first purchased. The first bag I used for Uni was severely beaten and almost useless after the first year - it was a hiking backpack!

This bag is simply perfect. First of all this bag is thee most comfortable bag I have ever worn. It had 3 pads of large cushyness goodness at the back of it which mold on to your back as you put it on. Then the ease of use... on each strap there is a cord which tightens to your liking. So you can now tighten your bag while you are wearing it. Lush. Now, the most of important point of all. The bag is has an enormous amount of room in it. It's amazing. Its like bagception. There are pockets within pockets, within it pockets. The bag just holds everything. For the first time ever I can now carry my whole workstation in my bag. Heres what I carry in it: 15.6 Dell Inspiron 7000 series 13 inch Macbook Pro iPad Air Beats Solo 2 Tons of books and paper work Deodorant and nice smelling spray Shoe cleaner Lint remover 2 XBOX ONE controllers with their respective wires Pencil case Business cards And guess what... I think there is more. The color scheme for the bag, black and green works quite well giving it a professional look. The quality is second to none and feels like it will protect my products. If you're looking for perfection in a bag, this is it.

Summary: The bag contains an ample amount of pockets and areas with enough space for at least 2 large notepads or 1 laptop, stationary, water bottle and other items. The material is somewhat durable and hasn't faded as of yet with the added bonus it's been made Eco-friendly. The arm pads feel comfortable and ventilation on the bag helps to stop your back overheating. The straps are easy to adjust with a simple pull loop on each tab, this is great for on the move adjustment and can be done simply, I have on some occasions grabbed them by accident though. The zips are easy to grab and feel nice a durable. Things to consider: The backpack is rather large and isn't very compressible due to the amount of storage compartments. Some of the compartments have very limited room while others have a great amount of volume. The zips and straps are of great quality. The bag is Eco-friendly. Water bottle holder (doesn't contain a strap so can't be adjusted). Hardy material. Not waterproof. (can be addressed with a cheap cover purchased from amazon which I keep in the side pocket). Great value. What needs to improve: If the product will stay non-water proof (especially at the top zips). I'd like to see the inclusion of a rain cover or at minimal a zip cover. Some tiny holes at the bottom to allow the water/crumbs to empty.

Much like another reviewer, this backpack has lasted me almost 12 years. Having purchased it originally in October 2013 I’ve just bought the same one again in May 2025. It’s quite simply the best bag I’ve ever had and has put up with daily use during term time and occasional use during school holidays. As a primary school teacher, this has often ferried stacks of books to and from school for me. You can just about fit a full stack of A4 if you really push it but it will manage half to three quarters no problem. I’ve often used it for my laptop and it’s been excellent at that. The phone pouch on the side is probably a little small for the more modern smartphones but my iPhone 8 (still going strong!) fits in it perfectly. I love the little clip for your keys so you don’t have to delve for them. The first thing to fail on this bag (the one I originally purchased) was one of the zips a few weeks ago. It wasn’t even one that put up with any real load, it was just a small one that got used the most. The rubberised bottom had disintegrated over time which in the last six months or so meant it looked a bit shabby from certain angles but it was still perfectly functional. I debated on whether to replace it with something a little larger but decided that this had done me so well over the years it was really worth getting again. I took a punt on it back then due to its green credentials and I’m so glad I did. Honestly cannot recommend this bag highly enough.

When I started working about 6 miles from home I made the commitment to bike to work but I needed to transport a laptop, lunch and other bits to and from the office. My usual running/biking pack was the wrong shape for the laptop and other rucksacks I had didn't afford any back protection against the laptop case. After looking around loads of different backpacks I decided to go for this one mainly because: - I needed storage for other stuff in addition to the laptop - I needed something that I could use when I wasn't on the bike i.e for train / plane commuting - It needed to fit the laptop snugly as I tend to travel off-road wherever possible - It needed to be durable due to the same off-road tendencies and was going to last This pack ticked all of the boxes. I'm really pleased with the size and number of useful pockets which means I can store everything I need with easy access. There's the main pocket with padded laptop slot which takes my laptop and day book, a second large section which I use for lunch and change of clothes and you've still got the 3rd pocket for valuables, phones, cables etc. I've also taken it on a plane for a European commute and it fits inside the hand luggage dimensions easily. I've been using it daily for 3 months now and it still looks as smart as the day it arrived with no stretching or sagging of the material and the stitching is all still pristine. The only thing I would suggest to improve it would be the addition of waist and chest clips to ensure it doesn't bounce around too much when going over bumps but this would make it less smart for more sedate commutes than mountain biking to work!

It took me ages to find a bag that I liked - I went through hundreds of reviews for loads of backpacks. It's not easy finding a good product when there's always someone that's hated it, so you move to the next one and hours is wasted searching. I needed a backpack for Uni to hold my MacBook Pro (2014) in a soft case. In this case, I also have my Wacom graphics tablet, pen and cable, so it makes it fairly thick. I also needed the backpack to have plenty of pockets for the laptop charger, xbox one controller, a battery back for charging my phone, external harddrive, other cables, books, pens, the Master MX wireless mouse and usb sticks. I also wanted it to be not too big and quite light, as the weight will build up with all that stuff being carried around each day. I managed to filter my search EVENTUALLY down to 2 backpacks, so I gave up and bought both so I could see for myself. The other bag was the 'Fubevod Laptop Backpack 15.6 Waterproof', which was a damn good bag, with blinking loads of pockets, but I went with the Targus, because it was a little lighter, smaller and the pockets were easier to access. The laptop section of the Fubevod was behind the shoulder straps which made it a little annoying to easily access - would be more protected that way, but I don't feel I need to worry about that. It was also classed as waterproof, which was another bonus, but this Targus scored more points in easy access, weight and size. It's not easy to choose products these days, especially if you read reviews and want to make sure you're getting value for money and it's going to do everything you want it too, so hopefully this review has helped at least 1 other. One last point to make: I've had the bag for a couple of months now after owning my previous backpack for about 10 years, till the zips finally broke off, so I'm hoping this bag will last me a good number of years to come and so far the zips and material all seem well made and I'm still happy with it. Another point to make! I don't put my MBP in the laptop section with the velcro fastening, as it doesn't fit in there, since I'm using a case too, so it goes in front of it and my laptop charger goes in there. My large wireless mouse goes in the small zipped pocket in the front section where it easily fits with usb sticks etc. There are 2 pockets at the bottom of the main front pocket for my Xbox one pad and battery pack. Books and cables go in the second compartment and the third compartment holds my laptop and charger. I put my earphones case in 1 of the side pockets and my wallet in the small outside front pocket. All done.

Very good bag, lots of pockets and seems to be resistant over time (I bought it 6 months ago and use it everyday). It is light and comfortable. Why only four stars? Well it does not protect the laptop well enough at the bottom! Let say if you drop your bag on the floor (it happened to me once by mistake +-30 cm which is not a lot at all) you might dent the corner of your laptop (it did for my macbook pro...). In addition the centre of gravity is well proportioned which means that when you leave it on the floor it will fall on the front.

Très bon sac à dos que je trouve à la fois solide et confortable à porter. Même lorsqu’il est bien rempli, il reste agréable sur le dos et semble conçu pour durer. Il est également très pratique au quotidien grâce à ses différents rangements. L’ordinateur est bien installé dans son compartiment et il reste suffisamment de place pour transporter d’autres affaires sans que tout soit entassé. Les finitions sont bonnes et, après utilisation, je n’ai rien à redire sur la solidité. C’est un sac fonctionnel, confortable et bien pensé, aussi pratique pour le travail que pour les déplacements. Très satisfaite de mon achat.

Es una mochila urbana muy versátil, con muchos huecos y compartimentos, no pesa demasiado y es muy cómoda de llevar a la espalda. Los tiradores de los tirantes para ajustarte la mochila al cuerpo una vez puesta, son los más cómodos q he visto en mi vida ya que incorporan una especie de argolla que hace muy fácil de usar incluso con guantes. Es un detallazo. La única pega q le pongo a esta mochila es la falta de hueco para sacar un cable USB desde la powerbank q lleves dentro. Tiene un hueco al efecto en uno de los bolsillos laterales pero este es tan pequeño que al menos mi powerbank no entra en él. Por lo demás es una excelente mochila, con materiales resistentes e impermeable.

Yaklaşık 2 yıldır aktif kullanıyorum. 1 kere makinede yıkadım, hâlâ formunu koruyor, suluk bölümündeki filenin dikiş atması dışında hiçbir yıpranma belirtisi yok.

Very good quality, especially for the zippers.

思っていたより素敵なバックでした。グリーンがアクセントに効いていてオシャレな感じですね。 耐久性もありそうな感じで、長く付き合えそうです。
