Targus Cypress 15.6" Hero Backpack with EcoSmart - Grey

Love the concept of the bag being made from recyceled water bottles which is what drew me to this product and was time for me to get a new backpack. Its a smart looking bag but the practicality of it isn't the best. Having used it daily for 3 weeks now, I'm constantly having to tighten the straps as they loosen all the time. I like that there is two side pockets (for drink bottles/umbrellas), however they barely fit a bottle in it once your bag is packed. I can no longer fit my lunch bag in the backpack due to the narrow width of the compartments so I have to pack containers in best as I can and hope nothing spills. I did end up swapping the grey for the navy (however the navy doesn't have the black across the bottom as it depicts in both the grey and navy photos ... MoreLove the concept of the bag being made from recyceled water bottles which is what drew me to this product and was time for me to get a new backpack.

The colours are also lighter than they look in the photos). I'm not sure the price is worth it but I will keep using it given what the price was. Would I buy again if it got damaged and had to replace? No I wouldn't. I would however definitely go in store and have a decent look before buying.

Beautiful design and heavy duty

This bag is beautifully designed and heavy duty. It fits my Dell laptop beautifully and gives me comfort that it will be protected as the bag is pretty cushiony. It is made quite well in terms of durability. The color is nice and goes with everything as it is gray. I definitely recommend it to anyone needing or looking for a good bag for their laptops or even gaming systems.

Exactly what I needed

This backpack ticks all my boxes. Aesthetically, I like the gray and black color combo. The fabric feels like really nice quality and it's great that it is waterproof. The shoulder straps are nicely padded yet breathable so it's comfortable to carry. I love that it has a handle on top. It has the right number of pockets and I especially like the front pocket with all of its compartments for organizing my cords and accessories. It's a good, functional size without feeling too bulky and I love that's it's made from recycled plastic bottles.

Great backpack

I use this backpack daily for work. It is a great size, holds what I need without being too large. I enjoy that it is made from recycled materials. It has a very sleek, modern look to it while still being incredibly durable. I would highly recommend.

Great suggestion Landon!

I have recently had the need to shop at Staples for a new position I accepted at work and I am so pleased that I have a location near me in Littleton, NH. All of the staff are lovely, however, Landon (whose title escapes me but he's a manager of some sort) has far exceeded any level of satisfaction I could dream of! He is polite, eager, professional, fun and more! I can confidently say that I am a Staples, Littleton. NH, customer for all things needed going forward. Give Landon all the praise he deserves plus a hefty raise, please. He earned it!!!

LOVE THIS BAG

Love the color - neutral enough to still go with everything I wear, plus I don't have to worry it will get lost in a sea of black bags. My favorite part of this bag is the spacious main compartment; I can stash anything from my toiletry bag to a light jacket in addition to my travel tech gear for work or leisure travel. The shoulder strap design makes it comfortable to carry on my back, but the velcro strap on the back allows me to slide the bag onto my roller in an airport and helps me take a load off when connecting flights. I love mine so much that I bought a second one as a gift for a friend!

Love the compartments

I got this for my son to use in high school. He needed something that would carry his laptop along with his other things. This is perfect! It isn't huge and cumbersome but it is big enough to fit everything he wants to carry. He said it was really comfortable and he can find everything he wants very easily. It is very well made so this should last him a long time. I'm very happy with it.

One of the best backpacks I've ever owned

This bag is really comfortable, even while carrying a laptop. The back of the bag has a good amount of cushion that feels good on your back. The straps were also ergonomically designed that takes a lot of the load off and makes it feel comfortable when carrying. Both of the sides of the bag have a pocket perfect for carrying a bottle of water. There are four different zippers for compartments perfect for carrying anything you need. two of the compartments seem like they have a divider for laptops or tablets. So essentially you can have your laptop and power cable in one, a iPad in another, and carry any other accessories you need in the other compartments. I highly recommend.

Simply Fabulous!

I love this backpack! My laptop is well protected with the padded slot toward the back, and several other compartments afford plenty of space for organizing. It is lightweight - a necessary feature for the amount of stuff I pack into it - and well-constructed. I especially appreciate the simple and sophisticated look which is perfect to carry me from home to work, and on to other activities.

Targus Cypress backpack Grey

Nice case for a laptop. Its just right for one with a 15.415.6 inch screen and with a little room to spare for the charger. Goodsized pockets for other accessories and papers you may need to bring. The 2 handles have a nice padding on them. However, they dont have a velcro attachment so you can join them together. Thats the only downside to this case.
