Customer Reviews

This backpack is good but feels as though it was built with a compromise in mind between different demographics and how it would be used. I should tell you I am pretty hard on backpacks as I am a full-time student and commute via bike and train nearly everyday. I am fairly active outdoors but this isn't my first choice when planning a trip, so keep that in mind. I will try to keep this brief and only stick to the points not covered in the product information from Amazon, which is really the only reason I am reviewing this as I depend on reviews to make purchases here all the time so I figured I would give everybody a heads up.
As I said before I don't think this is a backpack for anybody that plans on using it for day trips or light hiking because of the absence of a sleeve for a water pack, in addition to the total lack of being able to strap or tie any extra layers of clothes to the back. The included rain slicker works as you would hope but the strap keeping it attached to the backpack is sewn so you can't remove it for separate cleaning or adjust it for a better fit when the backpack is bulging.
When using it for everyday use I appreciate the laptop sleeve that snugly fits my 15.6" Vaio in the main compartment along with all the chargers and accessories I can't seem to leave home without. Pay close attention to the physical dimensions if you need a lot of room as this isn't exactly spacious. I have enough room for a three ring binder, two books, my electronics, and some snacks... thats it. It should also be noted that whoever designed the headphones-port/iPOD holder obviously never used it so that feature is pretty much useless.
The pack was sewn with a lot of single or double stitching so I don't know how long it will hold up but I have used it for two months with no problems. Also the strap and back padding reduce the perceived weight of the pack and stays centered even when riding like a maniac on my trek so I wouldn't worry about a chest strap if you are looking for that. The only reason this gets four stars is because its relatively cheap for a slicker backpack and isn't too shoddy on the quality of the materials or fit. If it blows out or angers me in some way I will try to remember to update this review to spite the manufacturers... hope this helped.

Very nice, stylish, simple backpack. The only thing I didn't like was that the laptop sleeve inside did not cover the top edges of the laptop when stored. The corners are still unprotected. In the end, I had to return it anyways since the left strap was put together reversed. So the strap would not lock. Its backwards
