Ogio Metro Backpack

The Ogio Metro backpack has become my official backpack of choice for short trips. True, it's not huge. True, it may be difficult to pack all of your BMX gear inside. But, however, it's perfect for what it's made for.

The Metro backpack features a back panel side entry padded laptop sleeve, an internal file sleeve, a deluxe organizer panel, a large center storage area, a weatherproof fleece lined audio pocket with headphone exit port, a sternum strap, a neoprene top grab handle, a weatherproof fleece lined digital media pocket, and it's capable of holding most 17" laptops.



Now, onto what I like about this backpack. The laptop pocket is awesome. I travel with a 15" Macbook Pro that I prefer to keep in a Timbuk2 Laptop Sleeve. Most bags with a built in laptop pocket don't fit my computer with the Timbuk2 sleeve, but the Metro does perfectly.

Also, the amount of pockets in the Metro are incredibly convenient. I have my laptop in its pocket, my clothes in the center pocket, an external hard drive and all of my chargers in the pocket below that, my bathroom supplies in the big side pocket, my iPod in the audio pocket, and a few random pockets I still haven't been able to fill up yet. Everything is kept completely separate and safe.

I'm pretty sure once summer is over I'm going to fill the Metro up with books and use it at school.

If the Metro is too small for what you need, Ogio has a giant variety of bags and I'm sure they have something to fit your needs. Ogio is one of the few bag companies that actually supports BMX, so it's important to keep our money in the right places! Good quality bags from a bunch of good people; what more could you ask for?
