[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hurley Rider Backpack is a well-designed, highly functional, organized, and convenient bag. One of my favorite features is how logically organized and convenient the pockets are to access. They feel purposeful rather than nonsensical and provide a secure place for everything you need. I especially appreciate the separate laptop compartment, which keeps my laptop protected and easy to reach without digging through the main compartment. The size is perfect for a weekend trip—it’s large enough to fit my MacBook Pro, accessories, a portable gaming system, a change of clothes, toiletries, and other odds and ends, but it manages to avoid feeling overly bulky. The external side pockets can easily hold a small water bottle or tech chargers/adapters for quick access. The overall construction and materials feel durable and well-made, and the layout of the compartments makes it easy to stay organized. Despite all its positives, I do have one minor critique: the laptop compartment only has a singular zipper. I would have preferred a dual zipper for more security and/or a way to lock the compartment while traveling. Overall, the Hurley Rider Backpack is a great choice for both everyday use and short trips or for anyone looking for a versatile and reliable backpack.
