Anyone here use Ogio bags?

motivez · 11-24-2008, 02:07 PM

I need a new bag for next semester, and I'm looking into Ogio because I've heard good things about quality.. but I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with them?

I want something big enough to hold a laptop + at least 1 textbook + notepad, pencil, pen, etc.. and preferably messenger style.

Right now I think this is what I want:

But I can't seem to find anyone IRL who carries a version.. the "dealers" on their site all have them as online-only.

Stylerod, you know anyone who carries a bunch of Ogio stuff around here?

I don't. You might check Sharon's Luggage. There is an outlet in Charlotte (kinda far) that is HUGE and has a lot of brands the stores don't normally carry. Other than that I can't think of where anyone would carry those.

That's a great looking bag.

Called them up, neither the Greensboro store or either of the Charlotte stores carry any of their messenger bags.

So... you're going to buy a purse?

Yes, we have them with the company logo on them. As far as getting a book and a laptop in there, it depends on how thick of book and laptop, but it can be done.

I tested it earlier on a laptop and a book i had, and it fit with an average sized book. I am not talkin like one of those 3 inch text books but maybe about 1 1/2 inches. It was decently snug but definitely do-able. The laptop I was using was a 15.4" widescreen. Any bigger computer than that would be real close.

I actually have one of them myself at home. I use it more to carry additional laptop gadgets such as a sprint card, misc usb cord, GPS module, etc, than papers and things. You can easily get some writing devices and a pad of paper in there.

I have a Targus bag from Best Buy for my laptop. Love the bag. I have an Ogio for my golf bag though.

Yeah I probably have the same one. I use it for my laptop (17") and it's big enough to also hold one text book and a note book + some pens and other random crap. It's not pretty but it does it's job.
