An Excellent Pack By Matthew D. Rice
Bought this pack about 2 1/2 years ago while in university, and have yet to find a messenger bag/backpack that I like better. The shoulder strap can clip into a quick-clip on either side allowing for very, very easy mount and dismount of a heavy pack while wearing something bulky, like a motorcycle jacket, and the other clip serves to stabilize the shoulder strap perfectly (my pack does not shift what so ever, kinda important when weaving through traffic).
More so, the primary pocket also has an inner elastic pocket that I found quite useful for stowing my laptop (about 14 inch screen) and still had plenty of room for the accessories, plus textbooks, folders, and notebooks. The webbing complies with the military MOLLE standard, which allows you to attach all sorts of accessories to the available spaces on the inside and outside (hint: triple M-4 mag pouches also work really well for carrying water bottles or beer!) and one more little feature: There is space and a pass through for a hydration system.
As far as durability? Give one to your high school freshman and he'll graduate with it.
Simply put: Awesome pack, you'll save money over having to purchase other bags, it (black) looks cool, it's versatile, and it's quite comfy to carry about (hiked the grand canyon!)Better than I expected. By Emily L.
I've had the black version of this pack for over six months now. It has exceeded my expectations which were pretty high to begin with.
My briefcase-style laptop case prior to this was killing my back and I needed something replace it that was big enough to fit a laptop and accessories in, but not ridiculously huge. Oh, and it needed to not kill my back with daily use.
This thing is the perfect size for pretty much everything I've used it for, although I would think it's a little small for a long camping trip unless you're going in commando or survivalist mode. And it pretty much has every feature imaginable. You could strap steaks to it and put this thing into a T-Rex cage and it would come out intact with all your stuff still neatly stowed away. Even if it was swallowed whole.
As someone already mentioned, there is an insulated pouch inside the main compartment to hold a water bladder, not included, (it also has built in elastic keepers and appropriate holes for the straw/hose thing to lace through and attach on the shoulder strap) that is also the perfect size for a laptop. I was pleasantly surprised by that because it wasn't mentioned in the description. Since it's a pretty elastic compartment, you could fit various sizes of electronics or water bladders in it and they will stay in place and be protected and insulated. The main pocket also has a full zippered mesh compartment in it as well on the back side of the middle compartment separator. You can have the main compartment completely unzipped but still closed thanks to the way the compression straps are placed. Very helpful for carrying oddly-shaped things or wet clothes. (There are drain holes in the bottom as well.)
There are two more zippered compartments and all three compartments have water resistant panels between them as another added bonus. The middle compartment has an array of zippered mesh pockets that you can put all kinds of junk in. My initial impression was that the mesh pockets wouldn't hold up since they're very light weight but they've been very durable and the zippers are all very sturdy. The front zippered pocket has a short divider with some pockets and a clip (usually clip my flash drives on it, but is also sturdy enough for keys, etc.) There are also the two hidden pockets as well which are way bigger than they look in the picture and not obvious at all on the black model. All the outside zippers are the heavy duty, covered, no-snag zippers and I've had no issues with them at all. Stitching is heavy duty as well. The top handle has a removable velcro strap cushion.
Overall, this pack has enough room for a huge laptop in a hard case, files, notebooks, recording interface, etc. in the main compartment, power cords, adapters, ipod, mouse, laptop lock, firewire cords, random notebooks, etc. in the middle compartment, and several flash drives, pens, post-it notes, glasses case, etc. in the front pocket. And that's about half full with the compression straps tightened. I've also used it for day-long biking trips (stayed well in place with the stabilizer strap clipped on), hiking, as a gym bag and an overnight bag. Plenty of space and pockets. Very versatile and is hardly showing any wear even though it is usually filled with my "mobile office/recording studio" on a daily basis and I've been really trying to beat the crap out of it.
The shoulder strap took a little getting used to for me because, although well padded, it's the hard condura fabric that can be unforgiving and it's pretty wide. Figured it would dig into my neck and I'd end up taking a blow torch to it. However, I've come to really like it and when you cinch the shoulder strap and cross strap up tight, this thing does not move. I don't use the stabilizer strap very often, but you can tuck that away (mostly) under the back pad. The hip pad part still sticks out, but it keeps the strap out of the way.
This thing is covered in molle compatible straps, inside and out. If you need add-ons, there are plenty of configurations to choose from. I thought it would look a little extreme using it everyday since I work in an office, but on the contrary, I've been asked several times where I bought it and gotten complements on how comfortable it looks from people who are searching for a similar sling-style bag for their laptop. I would also put money down that this will outlast a majority of the trendy bags my fellow hikers and bikers had as well.
Durable, comfortable, versatile, lots of room and compartments that will compress if you don't need them, stays in place and has a very high coolness factor for both features and look. Oh, my back feels much better after switching to this pack. It's worth the money, for sure.Hemiplegics rejoice, probably also amputees By Carson
Are you feeling a little lame? Bit droopy on one side specifically? Got that old stroked feeling? Well, I do and that's not going away anytime soon. This bag worked for me. If your shoulders don't work in unison a regular backpack can be hard to secure but this one only rides on one shoulder and I found it very easy to keep it there even after a few sprints. Just remember to click both straps in if you want it really stable. It's a highly handicompatible bag.
How's it work as just a pack? S'alright.
I can carry a 500 page textbook and netbook with charger in the main compartment with quite a bit room to spare. There are holes in the bottom (has something to do with a camelpak, so if you need hydration this is camelpak compatible) which makes me recommend doublebagging textbooks. There's a nice sleeve in this compartment that you can fasten snug. I keep a clipboard in there but most people seem to put there laptops and tablets in there. I found it uncomfortable and it was hard to get at my netbook. Then again my netbook has it's own hard case so I'm not as worried.
The secondary compartment is big enough but the meshy mini compartments inside are kinda useless. The very front compartment has pencil loops and two pockets that can fit a Droid 3 (4 inches, probably up to 5), two more mesh pockets (the bigger one is kinda useful), a place for your keys, and a big pocket in back. There are also two pockets hidden on either side of the padding that can hold some small stuff. I have found loose threads in the mesh and zipper seams.
I can maneuverer through a crowded bus, sprint and just basically haul what I need to where I need to go. Marsupial mode can get a bit taxing but then again this is still a backpack not a bellypack. Little worried about the stitching but there's nothing egregious. It seems to handle rain well but be cautious when sitting it down in wetness. Anywho, good pack for this disabled pedestrian.
