Anyone interested in a long term review of the Ogio No Drag backpack?

Postiez · April 4th, 2011, 11:43 PM

I have been wanting to do a review of it for a while but I keep putting off. Give me some motivation to do it! I have had the bag for well over a year and I have been going to school the entire time so it has a ton of hours/wears on it.

kkim · April 5th, 2011, 12:38 AM

sure... why not? I'm sure someone will find it useful.

gfloyd2002 · April 5th, 2011, 03:06 AM

Go for it. I'm wondering if it should be called the Ogio "What a Drag Because I Can't Fit Anything In It." Also, thanks in advance for crash testing it for the review.

i would be interested

How well does it crash?

Boosted139 · April 6th, 2011, 11:58 AM

I'd greatly appreciate if you did, been looking at that back pack for awhile now

SSR · April 6th, 2011, 08:41 PM

Hey, I spent $100 reviewing the Icon Stryker Field Armor (got my money back after I returned them, but still had to pay shipping)

Then I had to pay shipping again to have the Icon Field Armor (the old ones that everybody loves) shipped back to me again!

*tough guy voice* What you got?

Rofl, is that what you took away from this thread? :<

I just kept meaning to do it and wanted to see if there was anyone who wanted to see it so I would stop putting it off.

I will write it up as soon as I finish my essay. I started doing it and felt too guilty about putting off this 8 page essay I only have 3 pages done of.

kkim · April 7th, 2011, 01:31 PM

c'mon... which is more important, school work or motorcycles?

Nick, would you mind if I added a picture review of my Less Drag Ogio backpack?

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. You doing your own review of yours or adding this for contrast to mine? Either way I don't mind at all. It was actually something I was curious about when deciding to get this one and I wanted more info so it sounds great.

Cuongism · April 8th, 2011, 03:09 PM

I just didn't want to be rude and hijack your thread so thought to ask for permission first. I'll post up my review when I get home from work.

00NissanNinja · April 9th, 2011, 09:37 PM

Yeah do it man, do it now! I am a student as well, does it have room for two 1000 page books, a laptop, a binder, and a 5 subject notebook. Thats a lot of crap I know but engineering requires me to carry all that crap around. Will it still have room for a water bottle and some other things after being jammed with all of that? Thanks for your help

My god dude... what do you need two 1000 page texts for? Personally, I wouldnt use a backpack because that weight will hurt your back regardless of what kind of backpack you use. Use a tailbag or tankbag that converts to a backpack for that kind of crazy.

00NissanNinja · April 9th, 2011, 10:11 PM

Yeah pretty insane right? Lets see... I got thermodynamics, component design, statistics and experimental design, Heat transfer, and dynamics. My back definitely doesn't enjoy it and my commute is 40 miles one way. I mostly only take just one book (professors actually make us use the books in class which sucks) a notebook, my laptop, and a binder. Actually you just reminded me, I think kriega's r25 converts to a tail bag I'll have to go check that out.

Not sure about the R25 but I have the US-20 and I love it. I recently am trying to decide on getting 2 US-10's as an addon but it's like $70 each or rig up some kind of stuff sack system instead. For reference though, the US-20 is the biggest size "dimension wise" i would put on the ninjette. Wider is ok but any longer and it'll bump up against your back or hang off the tail, possibly covering the tail light and that's a big no no.

Oh yeah I think that was the US-20 I was thinking about. Might pick one of those up, or the US-10 with the R25 and get some of the weight off my back. Coo thanks for the info.

I did a review of the US-20 somewhere on here. Search for it. Let me know if you want me to stuff it with anything to see if it'll fit or how it feels ergonomically. I can even do a quick ichat/video conference thingy if that helps you decide. It was expensive so when I got it, I really took a chance that it'd fit everything I needed it to.

Thanks, checked out your tread. Looks good wonder why I never picked up on the tread before. The only things I would probably need to put in it this summer is just a book, a notebook and my 14 inch laptop. Is the shoulder strap still comfortable when you have it fully loaded with stuff (of the heavier variety)?

setasai · April 9th, 2011, 11:04 PM

Yea so far the most I have put in there are papers + a 3lb tabletpc. It fits quite a bit and it does get quite heavy. I dont think I would walk around campus with it casually but it definitely does the job to get from point A to B. If you ever used a timbuk2 messenger bag, it feels like that. Add a padded shoulder pad and it's not too bad.

Edit: I just noticed we hijacked your thread. My apologies.

00NissanNinja · April 9th, 2011, 11:09 PM

I probably already freak out most people on campus when I walk around with my red and white alpinestars jacket and riding pants lol, but yeah I don't need it to be too cumbersome.

Dear goodness! Just convert your thermo and dynamics book to an electronic form. That's what I did. So rather than 2 humongous hard back text books, I have it as a couple hundred megabytes of data on my laptop. So much easier. My design class doesn't need a text book though, its all laptops/computers. I don't have the tables for thermo on my computer though, so if that's the class you are referring to, I say just copy the tables or scan them in and there you go!

For me, I'm a mech. eng. and I carry a 13" laptop, 3 folders (hw, notes, extra paperwork) and that's about it. I organize all my papers at home later so it is less cumbersome than carrying 3 or 4 binders for an entire day.

Please do an honest review.
I was just looking at this pack.
I'll wait to purchase!
