2 Years International Travel, but now a ripped handle

2 Years International Travel, but now a ripped handle
This backpack I needed when I upgraded to a large 17.3 laptop ASUS ROG GL753VE Laptop. This backpack easily fits this laptop, a large 12.3 iPad Pro and all of my items. I've traveled nationally and internationally and I like that this backpack has a sternum strap, can carry heavy loads at times and can attach to my roller bag to get the weight off my shoulders. After 2 years, the handle developed a rip so I'm attempting to get it fixed through warranty, will update when I get a response.

5.0 out of 5 stars Durable and Dependable Backpack/computer bag/carry on
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2019

Overall this bag has been great! I recently purchased it in order to replace a backpack I was traveling with, that just wasn't big enough to hold everything. The bag arrived just in time before I traveled to the West Coast.
I was able to pack my laptop, cords, and usb port cables conveniently. The organozed pocket wprked well.
The other 3 divided parts of the bag were great to handle documents, and carry on items (Nike Hoodie, blanket, Meds for the week, and so on...)
Probably the only draw back is that it is so big and roomy it can cause you to overpack your carry on.
It was simple to get through TSA with the bag. I did not leave my laptop in the laptop area. I pulled it out. I didn't want to be held up by TSA lines. So, I'm not sure if the feature of leaving the laptop inside and seperating the bag to divide actually works to get through TSA.
The only other complaint is that its not very comfortable on the back, while carry. No matter how light or heavy it is. It just causes you to lean forward and walk funny, which if not careful can cause back pain.
I'm pretty ruff on backpacks. So, I was worried about the straps holding up. So, far I've not had any issue. I used it for 6 days in California while exploring and traveling around the state.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Perfect Travel Backpack Ever Invented!
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2014
Size: One SizeColor: BlackVerified Purchase
I LOVE THIS BACKPACK! A coworker let me borrow hers for a business trip and after that, I knew I had to get my own. The main selling point for me was the "FlyBy" laptop compartment that is TSA-approved, but the rest of this bag is pretty spectacular too. I cannot believe how much stuff fits in here. It is: well-made; sturdy; comfortable; convenient; and big enough to stash a couple of outfits and my purse in addition to the laptop, tablet, Kindle, folders, snacks, etc. It fits nicely under most airline seats as well as in the overhead bin. I love all the pockets, both zippered and non-zippered. The mesh, elastic pockets on the side are great for a bottle of water within reaching distance. The zippered pockets under the elastic pockets are a great place to stash my wallet for easy access to my money/license. The clip on the front (back?) is terrific for attaching my neck pillow. The small zippered pocket on top is perfect for those smaller items you want to access easily (lip balm, gum, etc.). The top handle is reinforced with cable so it can take the wear and tear of a heavy load. There is a place to fit it over the extended handle of a rolling suitcase as well. The straps are nicely padded to add comfort. I cannot say enough great things about this backpack. It may not be the prettiest piece of luggage I own, but it is quickly becoming my favorite. My boyfriend is a bit jealous and asked to borrow it for his upcoming business trip. I would recommend this to everyone!

I LOVE this bag with all of the compartments and it fits two laptops and all of the other daily items i need. I chose High Sierra because I purchased a different travel back pack about 15 years ago and it has survived flawlessly after heavy use. Unfortunately, this bag began showing signs of wear and tear within a couple years. Several seems have busted, zippers broken and fraying straps. I hope that I just got a poorly constructed item, as i have purchased its duplicate as a replacement. Hopefully this new bag will live up to my initial experience with High Sierra and not this latest disappointment.

Tiene muy buen tamaño, muchísimo espacio. La parte de TSA friendly es apta para que pases el filtro del aeropuerto con una laptop y una tableta, sin necesidad de sacarlas de la maleta, sólo se abre completo el cierre y se acuesta en la banda para que pueda pasar el filtro.

Excelente calidad de la tela, como siempre, identidad de la marca.

¡Me encanta!

Los materiales y la calidad son excelentes. Tiene una seccion para la laptop acolchonada como debe ser, los cierres abren facilmente. En la parte superior tiene una como haza reforzada con un cable de metal por si la quieres sostener de la parte superior, los tirantes un poco reducidos, podrian estar mas anchos para mayor comodidad, tiene bastantes bolsas para la gente muy organizada, yo no, a mi solo me intesaba que la parta de la computadora estuviera muy bien protegica y cubre muy bien ese punto. Tiene un para de tiras como para poner la mochila arriba de una maleta de viaje, quiero suponer que son para eso, nos les veo otra funcionalidad, pero se que esta marca esta relacionada tambien con maletas de viaje, hace mucho compre una de esta marca y por eso me anime a comprar esta mochila.

So far the bag is holding up nicely. Only negative is maybe it tends to fall over face first if it's full when you set it on the ground. Otherwise highly recommended
