I have had this bag for 4 months.
Initially, the bag comes in 2 versions. With 2 compartments and with 3. So pay close attention to which version you will get. I got it from the official mark ryden website, so it was clear. The difference is that the laptop compartment is not separate in the one with 2 compartments.
Negatives:
The bag is NOT waterproof. It is water repellent but not waterproof. This means that in a simple splash of water/drizzle, the water will easily seep downwards, but in heavy rain it will have issues if exposed.
I had an experience with heavy rain and the top compartment as well as the front had moisture inside.
Also, the bag does not stand upright easily, whether full or empty, compared to other more premium bags.
Finally, it has space inside but don't expect a plethora of pockets and functionality.
Positives:
The bag is value for money.
The fabric on the outside looks and feels quite premium and gives the impression that it costs 100+. Those who are fans of the black color will love it aesthetically.
The laptop compartment is quite good and offers protection without being shockproof, meaning the laptop hangs inside and doesn't touch the bottom of the bag. However, the bottom is padded and if taken care of, there is no issue. Personally, I also use a laptop sleeve.
For the money, it is difficult to find bags of similar quality and more functional. Oh, if it didn't have all the negatives I mentioned, we would be talking about a bag around 100 euros. I would recommend it for a work environment and for anyone carrying around 20 liters of stuff.
