Overall, great pack. Well-padded and constructed I like the laptop pocket a bunch but it's a tight fit with my Lenovo laptop and the extended life battery. The selection of pockets is great and the padding is awesome. My only complaint are the straps - they're great for walking, skating, etc. but if you use while riding a bike with low handlebars the top of the strap digs into the base of your neck. I have to loosen the straps so it hangs down a bit but then it doesn't fit as tightly so it moves around more.

Excellent computer carrying day pack! This is by far the best computer bag Ive found so far. Here is what I like in the pack. 1. I like that it doesnt have a hip belt. I never use these on a city bag, and they really just get in the way. If you want one, this isnt the bag for you. 2. The computer pouch fits my laptop great, and holds it snug against my back. 3. I like the fleece lined sunglasses pocket. It fit my hard-shell glasses case well. 4. The shoulder straps and fit are phenomenal! It seriously fits like a glove. Heres what I think could use some improvement. 1. I wish the cord pouch was a little bigger. It fits my laptop power supply but just barely. 2. I wish the pen pocket was a little deeper. It is kind of awkward putting pens in it. 3. I wish it had a front attachment cell phone pocket (you can buy generic ones of these after market. I was skeptical about the pack at first because it doesnt have side compression straps, but its really built in such a way that you dont need them. It fits fine with just my computer and/or books etc It also comfortably fits my computer and a 6 pack of beer (just an FYI). Overall a great pack for the money. This is a city pack with all the quality/fit of an outdoor backpack (without a hipstrap). My wife liked mine so much, we bought her one too (dorky yes, but at least theyre different colors). I doubt well ever use the skateboard attachment straps, but they dont really get in the way.

Very Functional Perfect bag to hold everything you need for school and more. The media pocket holds my PSP comfortably. One of the few bags that carry both my computer and books separately. The design protects the computer in a completely different compartment. The bag is the perfect size for an overnighter or everyday use for school. I carry everything in this pack. Ipod pocket and cellphone pocket are decent size. Outer pockets hold drinks for easy access. Straps securely hold a skateboard or snowboard but the grip tape from the skateboards grinds on the waterproof material of the pack. When wearing the pack it sits comfortably on your shoulders equalizing the weigh on both sides. Top pocket is perfect for a digital camera, laptop power supply, or even a mini dv camera. Great all around pack for functionality, style, and organization.
