DICOTA Backpack FIVE 15-17.3 — 25 L, 1.15 kg, 80% Recycled PET
15" to 17.3" · 25 L80% Recycled PET ContentRFID Pocket + Tracker SlotLockable Laptop Zip
The DICOTA Backpack FIVE 15-17.3 is a 25 litre business backpack for laptops from 15 to 17.3 inches, weighing 1.15 kg and measuring 340 x 480 x 200 mm. FIVE is DICOTA’s newest premium line, and its distinguishing feature is verified recycled content: DICOTA publishes an RPET ratio of 80% for the finished bag, made using 36 recycled PET bottles, because for the first time the interior lining is recycled polyester as well as the shell. The laptop travels in a V-shaped compartment with DICOTA Cushion Technology and EVA foam corner padding at the base, closed by a lockable YKK zip. Alongside it are an RFID-blocking pocket, a Bluetooth tracker slot, a padded pocket for a 12.9 inch iPad Pro in a case, a hidden zipped pocket on the back panel and a trolley belt. DICOTA warrants its bags for a lifetime, limited to 30 years in Germany.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Two figures in circulation for this bag are wrong, including on our own previous listing. DICOTA publishes this model as 15.0 to 17.3 inch, not 15 inch — the single figure is a truncation of the range and understates the bag considerably. And the capacity is 25.0 litres, not the 24.5 litres that appears in several feeds; 24.5 is not a DICOTA number at all. The maximum device size is 420 x 40 x 300 mm, and that is the figure to measure a large or thick laptop against.
Do not confuse this with the smaller FIVE. DICOTA sells the Backpack FIVE 14-16 with a word-for-word identical feature list at 19 litres and 1.05 kg. The two are mixed up constantly in listings precisely because the descriptions match. This is the 15-17.3, at 25 litres and 1.15 kg.
On the recycled claim, note the distinction DICOTA itself draws. The fabrics are specified as 100% Recycled PET Polyester, but the whole-product RPET ratio is 80%, because zips, fittings, foam and hardware are not fabric. We publish both and do not describe it as a 100% recycled backpack. DICOTA requires its recycled-yarn suppliers to comply with the Global Recycled Standard, but publishes no article-level GRS, bluesign, OEKO-TEX or Blue Angel certification, so we claim none.
One compartment locks, not all of them. DICOTA specifies a YKK lockable zipper on the notebook compartment only. And while the main material is described as water repellent, there is no water resistance rating and no rain cover is included.

Key Features
80% recycled PET, lining included
DICOTA publishes an RPET ratio of 80% for the finished bag, made using 36 recycled PET bottles. The FIVE line differs from DICOTA’s earlier ranges in putting recycled polyester into the interior lining as well as the shell: 900D main fabric, 600D secondary with a matt coating and 150D lining, all specified as 100% Recycled PET Polyester. Materials are stated RoHS and REACH compliant and PVC-free, with nickel-free fittings.
Genuinely fits a 17.3 inch machine
Maximum device size is 420 x 40 x 300 mm, which is a real 17.3 inch clearance rather than a nominal one, and the 40 mm depth allowance accommodates thicker workstation and gaming laptops that a slimmer compartment would not.
A V-shaped laptop compartment with DCT
DICOTA Cushion Technology suspends the machine and lightweight EVA foam corner padding protects the base of the compartment, which is where a bag set down carelessly takes the impact. The compartment closes with a lockable YKK zipper, and a T-lock D-ring on the right-hand side takes a notebook lock.
RFID pocket, tracker slot and a hidden rear pocket
An RFID-blocking pocket for contactless cards and passports, a dedicated slot for a Bluetooth tracker, and a zipped pocket on the back panel that is only reachable with the bag off your shoulders. Useful, unglamorous features that most bags at this size omit.
25 litres, organised
A padded pocket sized for a 12.9 inch iPad Pro in its case, a front organiser, a small additional pocket in the main compartment, a side pocket for an umbrella, and a Lycra pocket with an elastic edge on the right shoulder strap.
Lifetime manufacturer warranty
DICOTA warrants its bags and backpacks for a lifetime against material and workmanship defects, limited to 30 years in Germany by law. This is DICOTA’s own voluntary guarantee and it applies to this model — the shorter 24-month term covers wheeled bags, which this is not.
Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
The 17.3 inch laptop is an awkward object to carry. It is too big for most business backpacks, and the ones that do take it tend to be gaming packs that look wrong in an office. The FIVE 15-17.3 is DICOTA’s answer: a plain black business backpack with a genuine 420 x 40 x 300 mm clearance, which is a real 17.3 inch fit including the depth allowance that thicker workstation machines need.
The reason to choose it over a generic large backpack is the recycled arithmetic, and DICOTA is unusually straight about it. The fabrics are 100% recycled PET polyester. The finished bag is 80% RPET, from 36 bottles. Those are different numbers and DICOTA publishes both, because zips, buckles, foam and metalwork are not fabric. What is new in the FIVE line is that the lining is recycled too — on most bags the eco claim stops at the shell, and the lining is virgin polyester nobody mentions. That is why the whole-product figure here is 80% rather than the 30-something you see on ranges that only recycle the outer.
The bag itself is a competent commuter. Twenty-five litres is genuinely more than the 19 litre 14-16 model, which is worth noting if you are choosing between them: this is a laptop, tablet, charger, lunch and a change of shirt bag rather than a laptop-and-charger bag. The V-shaped compartment with DICOTA’s cushion technology and EVA foam corners addresses the way bags actually get damaged, which is being set down harder than intended. The lockable YKK zip on the laptop section, plus the T-lock D-ring, is a level of security most backpacks skip entirely.
Watch the data on this model, though. Our own listing carried two errors before this rewrite — a truncated 15 inch size and a 24.5 litre capacity that DICOTA does not publish — and both are widespread in the trade. If you are comparing offers, check that the seller has 15-17.3 and 25 litres.
The limits are the same as its smaller sibling. Water repellent, not waterproof, with no rating and no rain cover. No waist belt or sternum strap — the hip-bag loops take an accessory, not a load-bearing belt. And only the laptop compartment locks. For a business backpack that is entirely reasonable, but it is worth knowing before you buy. Against that, the lifetime warranty on material and workmanship — capped at 30 years in Germany for legal reasons, and applying here because this is not a wheeled bag — is the most valuable thing on the specification sheet.

Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
Buy the Backpack FIVE 15-17.3 if you carry a 17.3 inch or large 15 to 16 inch laptop and want a plain, well-built business backpack with recycled credentials that hold up to inspection. Check your machine against the 420 x 40 x 300 mm maximum, and consider the FIVE 14-16 instead if you want the same bag 6 litres smaller and 100 g lighter.
Skip it if
Your laptop is 16 inches or smaller and you would rather not carry the extra volume — the FIVE 14-16 is 19 litres and 100 g lighter. Also skip it if you need a waist belt or sternum strap, a waterproof rather than water repellent bag, or lockable zips on every compartment.
Also consider
The Backpack FIVE 14-16 is the same design in 19 litres for 14 to 16 inch machines. The wider FIVE range includes Multi, Multi Twin and Top Traveller bags and a Slim Case. DICOTA also sells an optional hip bag that clips to the loops on this backpack, and a universal rain cover, both separately. Browse the full range of laptop cases and bags, or see our laptops.
