Drifter Backpack

Good quality bag. Works well for me as I travel a lot for work

Having had a previous targus bag I had struggled to get a replacement trying Swiss and sports brands however these both fell apart very quickly. I purchased this bag hoping to get the same quality of its predecessor and it has not dissapointed, it is rugged and built to handle a decent load while keeping my laptop, tablet and phone safe. It has a massive array of pockets suitable for all my geek needs and some nice internal padding for my items with screens (11" tablet and 7" tablet" It is incredibly well made with zips, handle (containing tensile wire) and straps all being built to last. Good Job Targus for an excellent quality bag at a very reasonable price for the standard which is incredibly high. A+++ on this one, would highly recommend it for anyone who wants decent size and a very hard wearing bag !

I've had this bag for 9 months and I've got mixed feelings on it after using it every day in that 9 month period :) I love the way it's layout out, I think a couple more smaller mesh pockets would have been nice, instead of having the main compartment, the laptop section, the small front section and then a bit in-between the front and main parts, I would have preferred a larger main compartment! The aforementioned 'middle bit' seems like an unnecessary addition to the bag, I find it useless and have never managed find a purpose for it. Other than the above parts I do really like this bag, using it to carry all of my tech goodies around with me every day is great! I had a messenger style Targus from a good 6 years ago and it was doing the same until I got rid of my laptop :) So I opted to get a 'standard' backpack and landed here, the cost is definitely a fair amount for a bag, but I almost feel like I'm getting my money's worth.. That almost... I was really loving it until the start of this week, when I lifted it onto my shoulder and heard a tearing noise... I almost hoped it was my jacket, unfortunately it was the bag. Just underneath the (really strong btw) carry handle next to a zip, there is now a 2" tear.. It's not really a repairable rip either.. So I'm not sure what to do with it :P I almost definitely can't get away with an RMA, it's just standard wear and tear I guess, I think I'm just disappointed that such a high quality product can suffer so easily from damage after only 9 months. Just putting it out there, I'm extremely careful with anything I use and I don't think I've ever flung this bag around :) Other than that I'd say it's a great bag, just don't expect it to last years :(

I saw this on another commuter on my regular train a couple of times and thought I'd check it out to compare with my existing bag. It's larger than another Targus back I bought amongst a bunch of others, with more useful pockets: the side pockets are tall enough to contain a 500ml water bottle and small umbrella without squeezing and still leaving the elasticated open areas on the outside; the main pocket is large enough to carry boots, whilst leaving the PC pocket for your electronics. Plenty of other pockets with divisions and velcro for all your bits 'n' bobs. A big plus over the previous one is that the base is flexible and rubberised, so that it does not crease and crack like the plasticised base of the other. It doesn't have a waist strap, so less rubbing around the back and the large hip pad/pocket helps leave a gap to improve air flow. The combination of base, pad and distribution of pockets/handle helps it sit upright & square on the ground, so it's less likely to flop over. Very good design all round. I'm looking forward to further use as a lightweight commuting bag as well as weekly commuting bag to take stuff back home to Spain. I may well be buying another as a reserve, as long as it lasts at least the next month or two. Please don't buy it, to help make sure that there's another left for me. :)

This is my second and I am very pleased it is still available. The first lasted for 3 years and all zips and straps still servicable after being used every week however the corners had worn through which may have been due to spending 500miles every week in a motorcycle top box. I used this to commute with two laptops, power supplies weekly necessities and tools for IT equipment including books cables sandwiches and it can hold 2 pints of milk in the zip up side pocket which was one of my requirements. It was often stuffed to the seams yet handled very well and was comfortable to carry on my back. It has enough pockets and sections for holding smaller items and the upper zip compartment on the outside extends down to the base of the bag behind the lower compartment and useful for stuffing gloves and hat for winter, the odd cable while headphone case sits above. Well done Targus and please continue to manufacture this bag to the same specifications.

I have been using it for almost two years fairly heavily and it definitely well made and durable with no signs of deterioration but it has in my opinion a fatal design flaw which is that all compartments communicate on the bottom which means that if you try to leave stuff on one po ket you might have to end up fishing it in another pocket turning your bag into a bit of a Mary Poppins bag. I would not buy it again based on this issue alone which is a shame because is truly durable and sturdy.

Ich habe mir den Rucksack gekauft, da ich auf der Suche nach einem Allrounder war, der in meinem Alltag bestehen kann. Ich bin täglich mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln unterwegs und nehme mir auch oft etwas für die Mittagspause von zu Hause mit. Zudem habe ich immer midestens mein Surface dabei, ab und an auch ein zusätzliches Notebook. Die Anforderungen waren also klar: ich brauchte einen Rucksack, der mein Surface Pro und ein Notebook samt Zubehör (Netzteile, USB / Bluetooth Maus, Kabel, Adapter) aufnehmen kann und bei dem ich dazu noch ab und an ein Care Paket von daheim unterbringen kann. Ich hatte vorher immer Notebooktaschen in denen der oder die Rechner irgendwie Platz hatten, da Zubehör habe ich reingequetscht. IRgendwie ging die Tasche immer zu. Mein Mittagessen musste ich dann aber in einer extra Tasche rumtragen. Das ist mir grade in öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln ein Dorn im Auge. Und nicht zu teuer sollte auch noch sein. Also habe ich mir einige Rücksäcke im Internet angesehen und habe mir einige Modelle ausgesucht, die ich testen wollte. Dann ist mir dieses Exemplar bei Amazon über den Weg gelaufen, den ich dann auch als erstes Vergleichsmodell bestellt habe. Ausschlaggebend waren hier die Beschreibungen über die gute Qualität und den großen Stauraum und nicht zuletzt der gute Preis. Was soll ich sagen: ich bin bei dem Modell hängen geblieben. Der Platz ist riesig, anfangs musste ich meine Sachen suchen, weil ich nicht mehr geanu wusste in welches Fach ich jetzt die Maus gepackt hatte. Und ich habe wirklich gedacht ich hätte mein Akku Pack verloren, da ich es nicht an der vermuteten Stelle gefunden habe und das Fach in das ich ihn steckte dann 2 Tage lang nicht gefunden habe ;-)! Ich habe es sogar geschafft gleichzeitig mein Surface Pro, ein 15" und ein 14" Notebook gleichzeitig in dem Rucksack zu transportieren und hatte dann noch eine Cherry Slim Tastatur mit drin. Ich konnte ihn dann zwar nur noch kurz tragen, weil er so schwer war, aber der Rucksack hat das alles klaglos verkraftet. Designpreis gewinnt er für meine Begriffe keinen, aber ist ein toller pragmatischer Alltagsbegleiter mit Platzreserven. Ich bin zu dem Preis auf jeden Fall hochzufrieden.

Ottima borsa, posso dire che è la migliore che finora ho comprato per proteggere il mio notebook e non solo, molte tasche come le volevo, spaziose e con possibilità di mantenere in ordine gli accessori. Resistente e solida e di ottima fattura. La consiglio vivamente a tutti coloro che vogliono mantenere in ordine tutti gli accessori e protetto il proprio notebook, Anche l'estetica mi ha colpito e non solo a me ma anche tutti coloro che hanno notato il mio acquisto e si sono subito informati dove poterla acquistare!

Bra ryggsäck med många fack.

Mochila de gran calidad, he hecho un gran uso de ella durante 4 años, con mucho peso y hace apenas 10 días que se me ha roto. He comprado otra de la misma marca, este modelo ya no lo hay

Ho aspettato un po' prima di inviare la recensione. Dopo molti mesi di utilizzo intenso è come nuovo.
