Targus 15.6" Spruce EcoSmart Checkpoint Friendly Backpack, Made From Recycled Bottles, Durable, TSA Friendly, 27L (TBB013US)

I really like this rucksack for many reasons: * It is relatively light and feels very comfortable on my back, event with 2 laptops, a tablet and other stuff. The rucksack seems to help distribute the weight well. * It looks good. The black outer shell is tasteful and simple with a few touches of green to match the interior colour. * Its made from recycled material and has been assembled with a high degree of quality. * 4 different compartments means its great for organising stuff. - The back compartment is designed to hold 1 laptop completely padded. This section has room to hold two laptops, although you will want to add a little extra padding at the bottom of the rucksack for the second one, or add a padded sleeve if you want to be sure. - The middle compartment is great for holding a lot of paperwork, books or clothes. There is a large mesh pocket to separate cables, socks or toiletries. - The front section is more of an organiser section. There is room for business cards, pens and other small items. - The very front section is just a pocket, useful for things you want to get at quickly. Things that I didnt like so much: * There is only one side holder on the back that can hold a bottle of water, however it is expandable and should hold very large bottles so its not the problem I first thought. The pocket on the other side is useful however for holding a music player and there is a slot to pass through a cable for headphones and still keep the pocket zipped up. Overall there is a good amount of space and the bag is of good quality. It is a great bag for a developer or student on the go. It would be good for a trip away for a few days or a long weekend. Thank you.

After so much search for a good back pack, i finally settled with this bag. I bought several bags and had to return them all, because of various issues. This one I would say is the best out of many I tried. Its a bit pricy. But the quality of this back pack worth every penny. The zippers are so smooth you can feel the difference of this one and the cheaper bags. This also looks great and very suitable to take office. I take this bag to my office as my office backpack. It has plenty of pockets which I was looking for. However, not quite sure about the water resistence, and I think this is not water resistent and the material seem to absorb water. But overall, its a nice backpack. Nice colour, neat finish, sturdy and looks great.

Summary: The bag contains an ample amount of pockets and areas with enough space for at least 2 large notepads or 1 laptop, stationary, water bottle and other items. The material is somewhat durable and hasn't faded as of yet with the added bonus it's been made Eco-friendly. The arm pads feel comfortable and ventilation on the bag helps to stop your back overheating. The straps are easy to adjust with a simple pull loop on each tab, this is great for on the move adjustment and can be done simply, I have on some occasions grabbed them by accident though. The zips are easy to grab and feel nice a durable. Things to consider: The backpack is rather large and isn't very compressible due to the amount of storage compartments. Some of the compartments have very limited room while others have a great amount of volume. The zips and straps are of great quality. The bag is Eco-friendly. Water bottle holder (doesn't contain a strap so can't be adjusted). Hardy material. Not waterproof. (can be addressed with a cheap cover purchased from amazon which I keep in the side pocket). Great value. What needs to improve: If the product will stay non-water proof (especially at the top zips). I'd like to see the inclusion of a rain cover or at minimal a zip cover. Some tiny holes at the bottom to allow the water/crumbs to empty.

Much like another reviewer, this backpack has lasted me almost 12 years. Having purchased it originally in October 2013 I’ve just bought the same one again in May 2025. It’s quite simply the best bag I’ve ever had and has put up with daily use during term time and occasional use during school holidays. As a primary school teacher, this has often ferried stacks of books to and from school for me. You can just about fit a full stack of A4 if you really push it but it will manage half to three quarters no problem. I’ve often used it for my laptop and it’s been excellent at that. The phone pouch on the side is probably a little small for the more modern smartphones but my iPhone 8 (still going strong!) fits in it perfectly. I love the little clip for your keys so you don’t have to delve for them. The first thing to fail on this bag (the one I originally purchased) was one of the zips a few weeks ago. It wasn’t even one that put up with any real load, it was just a small one that got used the most. The rubberised bottom had disintegrated over time which in the last six months or so meant it looked a bit shabby from certain angles but it was still perfectly functional. I debated on whether to replace it with something a little larger but decided that this had done me so well over the years it was really worth getting again. I took a punt on it back then due to its green credentials and I’m so glad I did. Honestly cannot recommend this bag highly enough.

Very good bag, lots of pockets and seems to be resistant over time (I bought it 6 months ago and use it everyday). It is light and comfortable. Why only four stars? Well it does not protect the laptop well enough at the bottom! Let say if you drop your bag on the floor (it happened to me once by mistake +-30 cm which is not a lot at all) you might dent the corner of your laptop (it did for my macbook pro...). In addition the centre of gravity is well proportioned which means that when you leave it on the floor it will fall on the front.

Es una mochila urbana muy versátil, con muchos huecos y compartimentos, no pesa demasiado y es muy cómoda de llevar a la espalda. Los tiradores de los tirantes para ajustarte la mochila al cuerpo una vez puesta, son los más cómodos q he visto en mi vida ya que incorporan una especie de argolla que hace muy fácil de usar incluso con guantes. Es un detallazo. La única pega q le pongo a esta mochila es la falta de hueco para sacar un cable USB desde la powerbank q lleves dentro. Tiene un hueco al efecto en uno de los bolsillos laterales pero este es tan pequeño que al menos mi powerbank no entra en él. Por lo demás es una excelente mochila, con materiales resistentes e impermeable.

Very good quality, especially for the zippers.

思っていたより素敵なバックでした。グリーンがアクセントに効いていてオシャレな感じですね。 耐久性もありそうな感じで、長く付き合えそうです。

Sul sito del produttore c'è una descrizione un po più completa [ ... ] Sono pienamente soddisfatto dell'acquisto per diversi motivi : - la qualità generale delle finiture è molto alta - buone le imbottiture per la schiena - ottima organizzazione dello spazio, il vano per il portatile è molto spazioso (il mio 15 pollici leggermente più grosso della media ci sta comodamente) e ben protetto dall'imbottitura, è dotato ovviamente del laccio con velcro per mantenere il portatile fermo, la seconda tasca è molto compatta (vedendo lo zaino dall'esterno sembra molto piccola) ciò nonostante è molto capiente. L'ultima zip inoltre può essere usata per innumerevoli usi dato che sono presenti diverse tasche e zip. Esternamente poi sul davanti c'è una tasca con zip ulteriore per riporre piccoli oggetti come un cellulare o un pacchetto di fazzoletti. Lateralmente ci sono una tasca per i dispositivi multimediali (con foro d'uscita per le cuffie) forse un pelo troppo piccola per i miei gusti, ma molto funzionale, dall'altro lato un laccio elastico permette di inserire oggetti coem una bottiglietta d'acqua o un piccolo ombrello. - materiali buoni, non è pelle, è vero, ma la prima impressione è che sia molto solida, in più il centro della parte frontale ed il fondo sono in gomma, in modo da proteggere il contenuto dall'acqua quando si appoggia lo zaino su una superficie bagnata. - leggero e pratico, il peso totale è di un 1.05 kg e la compattezza lo rende perfetto per chi deve sgusciare in velocità (ad esempio nelle metro :P) Il rapporto qualità prezzo è molto buono, esistono in commerci che allo stesso prezzo offrono una qualità nettamente inferiore. le note negative per ora sono : - tasca multimediale che potrebbe essere un pelo più grande. - come Nicola (nell'altra recensione) penso anche io che la maniglia che potrebbe essere separata dalle bretelle, non è molto comoda se bisogna portare lo zaino a mano per molto. - la gomma protettiva nel fondo dello zaino avrei preferito fosse anche sotto al vano del portatile. Ciò nonostanteil vano portatile non tocca il fondo dello zaino ma essendo una specie di "busta" che lascia altri 2-3 centimetri liberi dal fondo vero e proprio, garantisce che il portatile rimanga sempre e comunque protetto ed asciutto. Lo consiglio a tutti.
