Product Overview
The OGIO Renegade backpack is a heavy-duty solution for professionals who require the highest level of protection for their digital equipment. This is a substantial, sturdy bag designed to function as a mobile fortress for your technology. At the heart of its design is a dedicated, armour-protected laptop compartment. This compartment utilises Reactive Suspension System (RSS) technology, which effectively cradles your device in a shock-absorbing sleeve. This ensures your laptop remains suspended and never makes contact with the floor, even if the bag is dropped or placed down with force.
Key Features
RSS Premium Laptop Sleeve: This specialised compartment accommodates most 15-inch and selected 17-inch laptops, providing a protective buffer that prevents impact damage during transit.
Crush-proof Tech Vault: Featuring a soft tricot liner, this reinforced pocket is designed to shield fragile items such as eyewear or delicate electronics from external pressure.
HUB (Hybrid Unibody Backpanel): This ergonomic back panel is engineered to provide superior comfort by distributing weight evenly across the back, making it suitable for long-term wear.
Integrated Foam Panels: Strategically placed throughout the bag, these panels offer comprehensive protection for all your valuables while helping the backpack maintain its professional shape.
Deluxe Organisation Panel: Includes a zippered stash pocket, dedicated mouse and digital camera pockets, and an expandable phone pocket for efficient equipment management.
Design & Performance
The Renegade is constructed from a robust polyester pindot fabric, chosen for its exceptional durability and resistance to the daily wear and tear of a professional environment. The performance of the bag is further enhanced by increased foam padding within the shoulder straps, which creates a specific comfort zone to alleviate pressure points. The inclusion of fully adjustable ergonomic shoulder straps and a sternum strap ensures that the bag remains stable and secure, regardless of the load being carried. The soft-touch padded Neoprene grab handle provides a reliable and comfortable point of contact for quick lifting.
Why No Customisation?
While MyWorkwear is a specialist in branding, we provide this specific OGIO item as a non-customised product. The technical construction of this backpack, particularly the integrated foam panelling and the complex RSS architecture, makes it unsuitable for standard embroidery or print processes. Attempting to pierce or heat-press these specialised materials could compromise the protective integrity and the structural warranty of the bag. By offering this as a standalone item, we ensure you receive the full protective benefits intended by the manufacturer.
Use Cases
This backpack is an essential piece of equipment for field-based engineers, IT consultants, and business travellers who frequently transport high-value hardware. It is equally at home in a corporate office environment as it is being transported across a busy construction site or through international transit hubs.

Operating from our base in Telford, we pride ourselves on selecting products that offer genuine utility and protection. Our long heritage in the industry means we only stock items that meet our rigorous standards for quality and professional performance.
Practical Advice
The laptop compartment is generously sized at 15.5" x 10.5" x 1". We recommend measuring your specific device to ensure a perfect fit, especially if you use an oversized 17-inch model. For those carrying a full load, we strongly advise using the sternum strap to help stabilise the bag and prevent the shoulder straps from shifting during movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the protective qualities and the professional appearance of your backpack, it is vital to follow a sensible maintenance routine. Neglecting the fabric or the internal structures can lead to premature wear and a reduction in the shock-absorbing capabilities of the foam panels.
We recommend cleaning the exterior fabric with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. You should never submerge the bag in water or place it in a washing machine, as the moisture can damage the internal technical linings and the structural integrity of the Tech Vault. Avoid the use of bleach or aggressive solvents, as these will degrade the polyester pindot fibres and may cause discolouration.
If the bag becomes wet, it should be allowed to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Excessive heat can cause the Neoprene handle and the HUB backpanel to warp or lose their ergonomic shape. Ensure the bag is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dry place to prevent any dampness from affecting the internal compartments.
