    I am considering the Ogio Mastermind backpack for carrying a 17'' laptop and some EDC gears. Anyone here owns one? What are your thoughts on Ogio bags. Thanks.

    I do not own the backpack that you are talking about but I can attest to the quality of ogio I have one of their big dirtbike gear bags and it has seen some rough days but is still in great condition!

    I've got one of their messenger bags and it's one of the best-built bags I've had yet. I wouldn't hesitate buying a different bag that they made.

    Before I bought my Timbuk Commute 2.0 messenger I used only Ogio bags for all my laptops (going all the way back to 2002 and the original Jackpack). I currently have both a City Corp messenger and a Mastermind backpack and they are still come of my favorite bags ever. Their build quality is ridiculously amazing. I would recommend them to anyone any day. One thing thing I will say though, the Mastermind probably won't be able to hold a 17" unless it's say a slim 17" like the uMBP 17. A regular sized 17" might be too big for the Mastermind.
