 Functional and good quality/cost ratioJul 27, 2010
This backpack is big enough to carry paperwork, lunch, and gym clothes to and from work everyday. I especially like the comfortable straps, the padded laptop pocket and the vented bottom pocket (for wet/dirty clothes). My son is going to college and I recommended this backpack to him. He's not going for it for reasons only he knows. Like Mark Twain is supposed to have said, it's amazing how much parents learn while their kids are in college.
GREAT BAG FOR A MOM ON THE GOJun 07, 2010
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this bag. It is durable and has many compartments. I especially love the compartment on the bottom of the bag, I use it for diapers and wipes. I also love that it has two side pockets. I put my son's bottle on one side, and my water bottle on the other. The inside of the bag has three compartments. One very large roomy one, one medium sized, and one small one with lots of different places to store little things. Also has a small pocket at the very top that zips open. I always keep my keys and cell phone in it so that I can get to them easy. I just attach this bag to the back of my stroller and I have everything I need. Have had it for a year and still shows no wear or tear. It is machine washable as well.

Great for larger laptops, schoolFeb 26, 2010
This is a great backpack for carrying around bigger laptops. Fits 16" screens comfortably. Keep in mind it is pretty big and can really carry a load. Also there are a lot, zippers and storage pockets - great for organizing everything you have to carry around. Well-built and well-designed.

Smart Design & Good QualityFeb 25, 2010
I purchased this pack after an extensive search for a replacement bag. I use this bag for work, and carry it every day. I am an architect, so I carry a lot of "stuff" with me every day: Digital camera, a couple calculators, flashlight, a 30 foot retractable steel tape, a 100 foot steel tape, a small first aid kit, screwdrivers, multi-tool, circuit tester, marking tape, lots of pens and pencils, umbrella, several notebooks, an insulated lunch bag, a couple of architectural and engineering scales (about 13" long),11x17 drawings (typically 2-3 projects of 20-50 sheets each), and occasionally larger rolls of drawings (24x36 or 30x42 - sometimes up to 5-6 rolls of 20-50 sheets each), and occasionally my Kindle or a laptop too. I'd say on an average day I carry 15 pounds of gear, and fully loaded, probably carry close to 40. The capacity of this bag is amazing, even though it doesn't look that big unloaded, or partially loaded.
The straps are quite comfortable, although I am of large build and with a heavy winter coat I approach the end of the strap extension. I would expect that this would not be an issue for most people, however. Even when fully loaded, I found this to be one of the most comfortable packs I've tried. The pack has a bottom pouch, where I store some heavy and durable items, like tape measures and the first aid kit. I don't worry so much about these items getting damaged, or even getting wet, but the bottom of the bag isn't particularly level, and the bag tends to slump or tip more than I'd like. I tried other loads in the bottom, and nothing at all, and found the tipping was only exacerbated. The design has a good center of gravity for carrying, just not for sitting on the floor. I carry this bag on the train daily, stow it in my car and under my desk, but it frequently goes to construction sites with me. The lack of extraneous hooks, loops and straps make it much safer and easier for me to carry in construction zones than most packs of similar volume, which is a big plus.
One of the most convenient features was a small zippered pouch that sits just below the top handle. I expect that the designer had in mind that this would be a useful place for a media player... and it probably would be, if I used one. My use is to give me ready access to thumb drives, extra memory cards for my camera and similar small and sensitive electronics. In my previous bag I never had a convenient location like this, and given that I access these items several times every day, it is a real boon.
What would I do differently to improve this model? I'd add a removable waist strap - I typically walk 2-3 miles a day with this pack on, and when fully loaded, I'd like the ability to share the load with my hips more. I like the top pouch so well; it might be nice to have two up there, and one with a sleeved connection to the exterior, so if you wanted to connect ear buds to a media player you wouldn't need to leave the pouch partly open. I'd also consider a flatter bottom, possibly rubberized to improve stability and durability of the bottom of the pack. Would I buy another of these packs, even without these suggested refinements? Absolutely.
