Red Rock Outdoor Gear Navigator Laptop Bag

Thanking those who replied to my inquiry about the shoulder straps. Yes, easily stored out of sight inside built-in pocket. Would never know they are there. So I just received the one I ordered (tan) and first impression is that it is well made. I guess that's why they give a lifetime guarantee. Cool. I have a heavy DELL Latitude laptop and needed a briefcase large enough to fit it inside...and it fits perfect with the bonus of a tie-down strap. Also needed to carry my laptop charger [and camera and one of the front pockets does that well.] Overall, looks great and does exactly what I want it to do. Fast Forward 7 weeks. Yes, 5 stars. Using daily with heavy load. No tears. No issues. But still, don't be yanking hard on zippers, straps, etc. Would easily buy again.

I am in high school and I needed a new laptop bag, since I'm a nerd and like all things tactical, I got this. Don't get me wrong, this is a great bag, but very bulky. So don't buy it if you plan on having a small bag. But if a bulky bag is what you are looking for, then this is a great bag for you.

I'd like to give this a better rating. Overall the bag is nice. Plenty of storage space, backpack straps store away nicely, padding is adequate, and it is generally nice. However, one of the carry handles came off after about 3 1/2 months. Most of the time I used the shoulder strap to carry it, so the hand carry has rarely been used. Obviously the bag is still usable, but it should definitely be more durable considering the limited use.

***SEE UPDATE BELOW*** If you've never been in the military, then you may not appreciate this bag. Otherwise you will understand that it is meant to be modular and you outfit it as the mission dictates. In my case a Lenovo X240. Ubiquiti WiFi station. Power pack, DC-DC power supply. AC power supply. A couple of USB 1TB drives. Notepads, pen, pencil, sharpie. And yes I CCW. This is not for the boardroom or office, it is a field pack. If you're looking for a trendy messenger bag, you'll need to keep looking, you will not be very happy with this bag. If you're out in the field and need to be able to carry your essential gear then this the bag for you.***UPDATE***Ok now that I've used the bag for a few weeks I can now report on how it's holding up. The bag has a major design flaw that isn't noticeable at first; the outer flap section - the one with the quick pull out for concealed carry, on the inside it has a zipper section and a large velcro strip. The velcro is so that the flap can be quickly opened to expose your weapon or whatever you have in that pocket. This means that the entire weight of the outer flap is supported by a very small section of poorly sewn material. On my bag this section has started to come undone. It will soon be wide open and the outer flap and its pockets will fall free. Other than that issue the bag design and layout is still top notch. I'm hoping to get this resolved with Amazon or the vendor soon.

I use this bag daily for work. I normally wear it as a backpack into work, then tuck the straps and use the handles throughout the day.Pros:- plenty of compartments- expands- some hidden velcro attachments withinCons:- no laptop/tablet padding- two straps are frayed (backpack and side expansion) and are close to failing after only 6 months of use- no dedicated pencil or small accessories organizer in the front two pouchesOverall, very good bag, but due to the durability I'm probably going to get a Hazard4 or Maxpedition bag.

The materials and stitching feel well done. This feels like a $100 bag. Lots of pockets. Zippers are good quality. The "front" pocket/section is a Velcro and buckle closed pass through that has straps which allow it to act like a shelf when open if you want. There are handles on the top and sides. I especially like the hide away back pack straps. Unfortunately those are not detachable if you don't want the bulk.

I needed something functional & funky for my 17" laptop & gear. This bag has lots of space, tons of features and a cool look in Green(not the typical Black corporate luggage-look). It's a functional military style bag, so if that's your thing like me, you'll love it. The size is just right for a 17" laptop, it's not so big that it can't go through doors without snagging. I like the front ID holder, Molle-type attachments and large Velcro loop pad in front. You can securely attach things as well as stick on some personalization (name patch, blood type patch, camera or phone pouch, etc...). There are also some interesting easy-access pockets just behind the front pouches. These seem to work well for whatever you might want quick access to...Only criticism is that I have to open 2 buckles, the Velcro carry handle & outside zipper to access my laptop. It's a bit much, but your laptop is certainly secure!This is my everyday bag now. I'll probably order another in Black for when I have to look more "corporate" for clients, but in a cool way.

SUPER SOLID BAG! Big and roomy. Lots of pockets, lots of velcro, lots of strong durable stitching. and little extras....padding on the shoulder strap... pull cords and zippers that do NOT feel cheap. Some things are plastic, like the strap hooks for the backpack and shoulder strap but this bag also comes with a chest strap when used as a backpack NICE. It's the quality for the price and the little things like a chest strap that make this a great bag.

Ya conocía la calidad de las mochilas Red Rock, pero esta me ha dejado simplemente impresionado por su versatilidad. Funciona comos e ve en las imágenes como mochila de mensajero, la correa es de buen tamaño y cómoda, tiene un asa en la parte superior de buen tamaño y agarre, la cual también sirve como broche de seguridad. El compartimento principal no es de un gran ancho, pero cuenta con un cierre como el de las maletas de viaje para expandir su capacidad. Cuenta con una buena cantidad de separaciones en este compartimento, aunque la mayoria son planos para objetos no muy voluminosos.Los compartimentos frontales son dos de buen tamaño, de un mayor volumen y sirven bien para objetos un poco mas grandes, toda esta sección se puede abrir tipo "clamshell" con el compartimento principal, y de hecho, se une a este por medio de 4 broches, por lo que aquí se podría poner un objeto grande que no quepa en alguno de los compartimentos, aunque resaltaría del resto del cuerpo de la mochila.Cuenta además, con dos correas traseras que se esconden en un compartimento especializado para transformarse en una mochila normal, que además, cuenta con broche de pecho para mayor comodidad.E n general es una mochila llena de compartimentos, con la versatilidad de usarse como mensajero o como mochila convencional, con una excelente calidad en materiales y costuras. Definitivamente ha sido una muy agradable sorpresa.

Falling apart, constantly, after only three months of use. This bag was never meant to be tough. The construction is abysmal and seams are failing everywhere and I can't use it anymore.The worst part is, Red Rock will not honour any kind of defect warranty. I will never buy anything from Red Rock again.

La mochila es tal y como se muestra en las fotos, el estilo es muy diferente a las de otras marcas ya que puedes utilizarla de tres manera en el hombro, en la espalda o llevarla en la mano como un maletín, el material es muy bueno pero si es un poco inferior comparadas con otras marcas como 5.11, maxpedition entre otras, el precio es bueno comparado con lo que obtienes.

Great laptop bag. Seems very well made so far but to be honest, I haven't travelled much w/ it yet. My laptop (16 3/8" x 10 1/2") will not fit in the nylon sleeve but just fits inside the padded perimeter. The 3 carry straps and optional shoulder straps are very versatile. I thought there were only 2 carry handles so even better. Loads of zippered pouches and there is even a zippered opening between the 2 exterior pouches (rarely visible in most pics I've seen online). My tablet is also carried in a pelican case and just fits the pouch w/ the MOLLE system straps. I did not try it in the other pouch but might fit there too. I saw other business / school type laptop bags in a local store going for CDN $80-100 and one even higher and believe that unless you need to not look a "field" type, that this is the bag to get! The other bags were nothing special just big brand names, etc. Any bag that is black of course will absorb more heat (not good) and will pick up dust / dirt more. I have no use for the MOLLE system really but great to know that it's there if I need it. Nice to know that I can also put my old Cdn Army Velcro nametag / flag on the outside too. In the other pouches, I also carry earbuds, USB cables, chargers and a small artists easel type metal stand that I use for my tablet. Overall, very pleased w/ the price and free shipping (which got here 2 days before the ETA too). Recommended and I hope everyone else is just as pleased as I was.

Adaptable a toda circunstancia, ambivalente en cuanto a su transportación y de material sólido para cargar lo necesario en el día a día. Hasta ahora mi mejor EDC para el trabajo, gimnasio y uso diario; con capacidad par transportar una laptop de 13", ipad y cámara de acción con sus accesorios diversos. Recomendable y a buen precio.
