Legacy Backpack

So I bought this as my partners dad and brother both have one and was an excuse to upgrade my tatty old bag. So firstly the delivery really fast. Which was good as I needed it asap. This bag was bought to take on holiday and to be my carry on bag. I bought another bag to take around while I was there before, but this could have easily done it. For the flight there I managed to cram loads in this and still had space. And best of all it felt really comfortable on my back a and shoulders due to these amazing straps. I thinks you could fill it to bursting and still feel like you were carrying a cloud. It has many pockets that other different things. I'm still finding pockets and storage in the bag it is like having a tardis. The main laptop compartment is brill it fits my laptop comfortably and all the things to go with it. Although I didn't take the laptop on holiday it was worth while knowing for future reference. I put my iPad in this pocket and It devoured it. The quick pocket on the top was brill managed to squeeze loads of stuff in there including : 3 sets of keys, iPad charger, sunglasses, wallet, pens and more and like it says it's quick to get into. The bag has a self sitting mode which was great at the airport and hotel room as you can just pop it anywhere and its out the way but ready to go. My only downside to this bag is not this bags fault. But was one of the main reasons for buying it. The checkpoint friendly pocket. So this bags back pocket unzips and folds out allowing you to leave your laptop in and not have to take anything out. In theory great less hassle getting everything in and out get through security well no. I had to take my iPad out still and zip the bag up and place it in a separate tray. I tried explaining to security but all I got was a slowed down version of take all electrical items blah blah blah. But it was fully allowed in the states they where fine with it. I would say a worth while purchase, don't let the price put you off. Like I said I bought this as my partners dad and brother had one. Her brother spent 3 months in the states with this bag and is currently using it for uni. Her dad used it for a 3 week road trip around la to Vegas And uses it to go to work and running now. Excellent bag Excellent build Excellent features Excellent price.

My last bag was a Targus eco bag that has lasted 12 years of abuse and was still going strong. Hopefully this Wenger bag will last as long, if not longer. Looks and feels very well made, with lots of clever features. The laptop pocket is well padded and other pockets can easily swallow a tablet as well as all the power supplies, big headphones and notebooks. Space for other documents, pens, phone, wallets are all there and are easy to access. The fold out feature that keeps the bag upright is a nice to have, so will see how that works. The only downside is that the whole bag, just by itself, weighs a few grams more because of all these features. Time will tell if it lasts but the 5 year warranty is a plus!

I bought this bag after a recent major operation to protect me from myself. I owned a larger version of this and had a tendency to fill it up with non-essential stuff. I sold that on for a nominal price to another IT Technician at my company and bought this. It has all the little pockets and zip up storage for all the things you could need to carry about with your laptop and more - I still have to control my urge to stuff it with items I don't use often. I used it originally to carry my 16" MacBook Pro (2019 model). Then to transport my 15" MacBook Air (2023 model). I've even carried my 17" Gaming laptop, although that was stretching things a bit. It has a large rear section with unzips to about 170° and has a pocket for the laptop (padded both sides) and a zip net pocket on the other side where I store the power cables. The next compartment is also full height with a 1/4-1/3 height divider at the bottom. I use this for cleaning gear, docking station, instant coffee and any items for the specific job I am attending. Next forward is a little Zipped compartment this is about 1/3 depth. Where I keep face masks, spare USB drives, spudgers and other little items. Finally there's the front compartment. This has a zipped pocket half way down where I keep all my USB cables and a 4 port Hub. Then 3 tiered pockets on the left (where I keep an external SSD & my magic mouse) a central pocket with 3 elastic grips for pens on the front, and a single pocket on the right (where I keep all my USB adapters) . It's a very well made bag, well thought out and does a great job for me. I'm not the most careful person in the world, but I feel confident this bag will protect my laptop from the normal day-to-day abuse I give it.

I bought this as a commuter bag as it is practical and looks professional too. Its replacing an old nike bag that made me look like a student, no padding, no pockets, worn out after 1 year. I read loads of reviews and decided on the Wenger, love their Swiss army knives so was thinking they would do well at backpacks too. I've used ithe Wenger Legacy for a few months now and absolutely love it. Hands down the best commuter bag for me, beats a briefcase, beats the old bag by miles. I carry a lot of gear with me and it manages to fit my laptop (love that it's in a separate padded pouch), copious papers and notebooks, work shoes, lunch, water bottle, electric breastpump and icepacks, umbrella, and more! I love the pouch at the top, perfect for keeping my pass and Oyster without losing them . Pros: can hold loads, distributes weight well, stands up by itself, durable, made to last, doesn't make me look like a twat at the office Cons: too many sub pockets that I am frantically searching to find where I put my small items, pretty heavy by itself, not a huge fan of the red stitching accents Notes: it markets itself as a carry on bag that you don't need to take out your laptop at security but the security checkpoints still require that you take it out anyway so maybe it's ahead of its time for this. I haven't found a use for the ribbon down the front. Don't know what it's for!

I purchased this for a recent work assignment in Australia where I knew I would be commuting with a bundle of IT kit that was heavy and awkward to carry. The bag is very sturdy, well made, and stable when placed on the ground, with a myriad of pockets there is no shortage of storage - I carried my business and personal items (laptop, iPad, SLR camera, Gorillapod, filters, 4 port power bank, sunglasses, spectacles, purse, carry on toiletries, 2 mobile phones, 3 travel adapters, Plantronics Voyager and charger, 2 other chargers, and stationery) in the backpack from UK to Australia with ease. The checkpoint friendly design is brilliant, however, I suspect it is only usable in the USA as I had to take my laptop and iPad out and put them through the scanners separately, however, this is not an inconvenience as the bag is a top loader and therefore is as good a replacement as any for my old faithful (and now discontinued) IBM checkpoint friendly shoulder bag. The product specifications state that the bag has airflow back padding to "increase the air-flow between your body and the fabric. This keeps your back cool - even when you're in a hurry." - maybe I was wearing it incorrectly (can one wear a backpack incorrectly?), but my back was not kept cool on my commute from Sydney's CBD to a Sydney suburb, quite the opposite. This, however, is the only negative comment I have to make. Overall this bag is excellent for work or play.

I had a Wenger laptop rucksack for over 3 years, which although basic was well used and abused (everyday full to the brim!!), and finally gave in. So I purchased this bag as a replacement I was pleased with the quality of the brand. The bag is large, but well padded which makes it very comfy to carry even when heavy, and offers great protection for my kit. The fully opening laptop checkpoint pocket, can be annoying at times (for example when I unzip to get out my laptop, leave the bag on the floor then someone moves it and are surprised when it doubles in size as the flap falls over!) but it protects the laptop well and my 16inch latptop, with a padded case, fits perfectly in the pocket and is secure and protected. The plentiful supply of pockets means there is somewhere for everything (though messy me keeps forgetting which pocket I put things in so organisation is the key!) Its durable, withstands rain, comfy, spacious (without being huge) but it is a large bag, strong, and looks smart - I can take it to Uni, work, shopping, travelling etc etc without feeling out of place. Definitely recommend!

This bag is really well made, and the materials used feel of really good quality. The bag is roomy, and because the laptop compartment is well padded, will keep your laptop well protected. I've used this bag as a hand luggage bag when flying recently, and was able to put my 14 inch laptop, a number of gadgets, and power adaptors, documents, water, etc.. It did the job very nicely. The contents of my bag was around 7KG, but thanks to the padding, and comfortable shoulder straps, it felt comfortable on my back. The bag has a "checkpoint" friendly laptop compartment. This means that you can unzip the bag so that it opens up completely flat when going through airport security. Through one checkpoint, I was asked to remove the laptop from the bag completely. Through another checkpoint, the official was happy for me to just leave the laptop in it's compartment. The bag is not as deep as I thought that it would be, and as a result I did find it difficult to some duty free items in. However, all things considered, I'll give it 5 stars because of it's quality, and practicality.

Excellent Backpack made with quality material and lots of storage compartments. Comfortable to carry around and adjust. Great value for the price!
