F Gear pitches the F Gear Century Pink 27L Laptop with Raincover (₹1,435) as a do-it-all office and college backpack. We loaded it with a laptop, charger and the usual daily clutter and lived with it through a fortnight of commuting to judge whether it earns its keep.
For the money, it nails the fundamentals — protection, organisation and comfort.
Build quality & materials
The main fabric is a water-resistant weave with a clean matte finish that reads more premium than the price suggests. Stitching is tight and even at the stress points, and the zippers ran smoothly throughout testing. In a heavy shower the fabric beaded water and the interior stayed dry — though, like most bags in this class, it's water-resistant, not fully waterproof.
Space & organisation
The 27L main compartment swallows the workday kit with room to spare, and the organisation is where it shines — a dedicated laptop sleeve, a front panel for small items and grab-and-go pockets for phone, keys and a bottle.
Comfort
The harness is better than the price implies — cushioned straps, a breathable back panel and a sternum strap that steadies the load on a crowded commute.
What we liked
- Great value against pricier rivals
- Water-resistant build handled rain well
- Genuinely smart, usable organisation
- Comfortable harness for daily commutes
Could be better
- No rain cover included at this size
- Not a dedicated anti-theft design
- Water-resistant, not fully waterproof in heavy rain
The verdict — 4.4 / 5
If you want a smart, durable daily laptop backpack around ₹1,435, the Century Pink 27L Laptop with Raincover is an easy recommendation. It nails protection, organisation and comfort, and looks the part in any office or classroom.
