Customer Reviews
Fabulous
The backpack, first of all, is very comfortable, it distributes the weight of the load just about perfectly. I carry 2 15" MacBook Pros to work about twice a week and I don't even feel the weight, just the slight pull on my shoulders. And the straps are padded nicely to help with that pesky gravitational pull. Each pocketed section is rather spacious as well. I give this backpack a perfect score for my needs.
Perfect dimensions
This backpack is great! What I love the most about it is that, while it has a lot of depth for vertical storage, it is not very thick. I had an older, larger Jansport backpack which was nice, but carrying a few notebooks, binders, and a textbook or two felt awkward in such a big space. This certainly isn't for those of you who lug around every textbook you own for a whole day. I can EASILY fit my 15.4" Dell Inspiron Notebook in the main compartment (with a fairly bulky notebook sleeve [Pinder THIN], too!), and there's still room for a couple of textbooks too.
On the color: I was anticipating the "burnt orange" that some reviewers pointed out (as opposed to the design's "barn red" description) and I still like it a lot. The only thing that sort of irks me is the strange combination of black (the zipper grabs and top loop for dragging it around) and brown (the straps and lining)... but that doesn't make it any worse of a backpack.
My con: I wish this bag had individual slots for pens and pencils, but it instead has a 3.5" wide X 6" high pouch next to a 6.5" square velcro-closeable pouch (in the middle compartment). While this is very spacious, I personally do not like things shaking around (assuming you have it in small quantities).
Other potential cons: I haven't really tested for it yet, but overall the material is very smooth and likely durable (as higher-quality backpacks go..), but I would prefer to have some more lining on the bottom of the backpack and also on the side to protect from moisture seepage (from the bottle holder). I occasionally have an icy bottle of water there, and though I don't have anything super-valuable in my bag nor do I think that a lot would get through the material, I'd feel more comfortable knowing that it's thicker and more resistant to leaks. Also, as the middle pouch is very, very deep (and spacious), I can see problems occurring where something will get smashed from the main compartment being at capacity since that pouch goes THAT far down (and sort of under!).
kewl color
Kewl color, a little bigger than I expected, super light wight. the straps are really wide but this make them really comfortable on shoulders and chest. maybe not worth 30$ but worth about 20$-$25
