Coleman RTX 3100 30L Backpack with Laptop Sleeve

I have had this backpack for two years now (purchased in July 2009) and it has stood up remarkably well. This backpack has been used primarily as a "work" bag (used to haul my lunch, work supplies, laptop, etc on a daily basis to and from work) plus it has seen some significant duty as a carry-on for both international and domestic flights (fits great under the seat). There are a healthy amount of internal pockets which are well protected and proportioned and the smaller external pockets are easily accessed and close securely (for the most part).

I am admittedly pretty rough with my backpacks and historically, most of them seem to wear out in two areas. The first is the stitching where the shoulder strap attaches to the top of the bag (common to most every backpack, no?)and the second is the fabric bottom/under-belly. This bag has held up in these two areas very well for me and are in almost new condition. I am especially surprised because I often keep this backpack under my desk and it is constantly being stepped on, kicked, and being dragged across a rough nylon carpet. These repetitious actions tend to quickly wear through the fabric bottoms of my backpacks... the one that I had before this one had holes in the bottom within 6 months under these conditions.

Other positives are the color... noticeable but not an obnoxiously bright orange. This bag also has a few stripes of reflective fabric on the shoulder straps for safety at night.

The only negative thing I have to say is in regards to the two mesh pockets on either side of the bag. They are not secure (no closures), they are tight and get shallow towards the front of the bag and I think that there could be a distinct possibility of losing stuff if you use them. I also see them as an easy target to get pilfered on a crowded city bus.

My Coleman backpack zipper broke on my first attempted use. Coleman Warranty Service was no help since I didn't buy it from a Brick and Mortar store. There is a big reason why these are selling so cheap, "They are Cheaply Made". I will never purchase Coleman products again!!!!

this backpack came and i was expecting a nice quality laptop backpack like i paid for. this backpack simply has a flimsy piece of material for holding yourlaptop, and the zippers are. very low quality. for a $50 ish backpack the quality of the product is very low. the size s also very big. i am only 5'2" but the backpack still seems exceedingly big. i do not reccommending this backpack, you can find a way better one for the price that you are paying.
