Lo & Sons’ the O.G. 2 is a laptop bag, gym bag, personal item, and weekender all in one stylish package.

Lo & Sons the O.G. 2 Review:

Price and Where to Buy: The O.G. 2 is available on Lo & Sons’ website for $333 for the medium size or $338 for the large.

How The O.G. 2 Rates:

Usefulness: 10/10. The O.G. 2 is an incredibly versatile bag. It has a hidden side compartment that keeps shoes separate from everything else in your bag, making it perfect for the gym or a weekend away. There are tons of pockets inside, so that your laptop, keys, wallet, phone, tablet, water bottle, and more all have a designated spot to keep you organized. My favorite organizational feature from the O.G. 2 is the key leash that makes finding your keys fast, even if they’re buried at the bottom of the bag.
Durability: 10/10. This bag is made from a very high-quality nylon material that is water-resistant and easy to wipe clean. This material is very durable and doesn’t get scratched or damaged easily like leather does. The zippers are also water-resistant, so you can confidently carry this bag in the rain.
Portability: 10/10. The bag’s compact but roomy size (16.5″ x 13.75″ for the medium and 14.75″ x 16.5″ for the large) holds enough for a light packer’s weekend trip, but can still fit under any airline seat. It has a sleeve that allows you to slip the bag over your suitcase’s handle, as well as a removable memory foam shoulder pad that prevents shoulder pain while carrying even the most overstuffed bag.
Style: 10/10. The O.G. 2 comes in a variety of colors and the design itself is classy and timeless, so you could carry this as a work bag or with a more casual outfit.

Final Verdict: The lightweight, ultra-organized O.G. 2 will replace your personal item, gym bag, laptop bag, and weekender.
