The ReNew Transit Backpack | Black

Shockingly Spacious

I've been searching for a backpack for quite some time, and this is the one that finally worked for me. I primarily wanted a professional-looking backpack that was spacious enough to fit my fairly large lunchbox because I hate carrying my lunch separately. Most other "professional" backpacks were too narrow and/or the pocket space cut into the main area. Because these pockets are liter-independent, I can fit all of my things for grad school + a lunchbox and even a jacket if needed. Some minor cons because I don't think this is the perfect backpack: 1. As other reviewers have noted, there could be more padding in the laptop pocket. It's so thin that I can actually feel the shape of my laptop on my back. Not an issue for my short walk into the office, but if you're walking for longer be aware. 2. The straps are relatively thin and probably wouldn't be comfortable for longer walks. 3. I would love either a second external water bottle pocket or some sort of easy-access pocket for a phone/badge. But this is a just a nitpick! Other than these things, I'm really excited to finally have a backpack that works for me after probably six months of searching!

Wonderful for travel

After reading all the rave reviews, I purchased this backpack for a trip to an international conference. I brought only carryon luggage for a week away, so I brought this and the ReNew Transit Weekender bag (which has gone with me on many trips already), and had plenty of room for everything I needed. The backpack is magical, it is incredibly spacious and comfortable without looking bulky, with very convenient pockets (especially the vertical zipper along the side of the back, where I could quickly stash my passport securely). Good quality material and zippers. I carried my laptop and 2 vinyl records back, and they came through unscathed. So glad I got this bag! My boyfriend is currently borrowing it for a work trip, carrying two laptops, and he's very pleased as well.

Great everyday backpack

I love this backpack mostly because it's lightweight and spacious. And the colour that's a bit on a light grey-ish side makes it more suitable for everyday wear. The inside is also light coloured which makes it easier for me to find my things when I pack a lot. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks but it seems to be wearing nicely and keeping its shape.

Functional and practical

This came highly recommended from a curated online review site and I was so thankful for the opportunity to come across this product very well made it looks perfect as a tool for carrying around my stuff while navigating in healthcare spaces and I honestly think it looks very chic. I got it from my partner who loves it and had been able to integrate it quite quickly.

Perfect travel backpack

I test drove this backpack over Easter vacation. It checks all of the boxes. Lightweight, lots of useable pockets, strap to attach to roller bag,outside zippered flap for easy access items, water bottle sleeve. Spilled water on the flight and it rolled right off the bag. Can’t wait to use it again on an upcoming international trip.

Functional bag all around

I initially purchased because I needed more storage to function as my work bag. It just so happen I was traveling abroad in that same month as well. I did not realize that it had a strap on the back to make it super convenient to connect to my carry on luggage. The storage in this bag is phenomenal. 10/10 recommend!
