This bag was OK as it serves it's purpose and there is not more you can really say about it.Read Best Reviews of ACU Print Digital Camouflage Drawstring Backpack Here
This back pack is big and sturdy. The material is thick and it holds up well. The camo is very cool and the reflector is a lifesaver.Want ACU Print Digital Camouflage Drawstring Backpack Discount?

Mountainsmith Rain Cover
XS: Fit range: 1000 1800 cu in/ 15 30 L
20" X 14" x 7.5"
S: Fit Range: 1800 2500 cu in/ 30 40 L
27" X 16" X 8.5"
M: Fit range: 2500 3600 cu in/ 40 60 L
28" X 19" X 10"
L: Fit Range 3600 6000 cu in/ 60 100 L
31.5" X 20" X 11"This seemed like a great little item for a specific purpose a cheap way to "waterproof" my camera backpack.
I saw similar items (for 3-times the price) at a local sports accessory store but chose the Mountainsmith for a few reasons.. color (Black opposed to Olive, Orange, Red or light Grey that the other brand offered), and price (1/3rd!)
After actually trying it out, I realize it's not the same it has a few critical issues that keep me from truly "trusting" it.
First, some information about it -
The sizes are VERY large. The "Small" size seemed big enough for a decent sized hiking backpack. The Extra Small size would probably be good for a regular school backpack or small camera backpack. The Extra Small size seems to be hard to come by and often comes at twice the price of the Small size maybe a demand issue?
It does have a pull-string to tighten it, so even the Small can be made to accommodate smaller sizes if needed (though not the ideal solution).
The entire cover folds up into itself it has a protective pouch/carrying case which is connected to the cover.
There is a big ugly logo right in the center of the cover (of the company logo and name) printed onto the material. I really didn't care for that design choice and ended up "Sharpie'ing" over it (as any stickers/tape would come off when folded up. The same logo is on the pouch this is just a personal design choice, you may feel differently.
On to the problems -
The pouch wraps around the backpack, leaving the back (starting where the straps come off the backpack) open this is a problem for me as this leaves a "V" shape open between your back and the back of the backpack that water will travel down with the back of the backpack exposed, the water will get in there (this area of the backpack is usually where stuff is placed in a camera backpack, it's where the lenses, cameras and accessories sit), essentially just protecting the front pockets of the backpack (which are often less important). The other problem being that the cover wraps around the bottom of the backpack (and slightly up the back) which creates an area for water to get into and sit (at the bottom of your backpack) the "other" brand seen in stores had little eyelets to release water, this one doesn't. If water gets in, it will sit there.
So I find this useful for LIGHT protection maybe a sprinkling or short period in the rain (running to the car), but I wouldn't trust walking around for lengthy periods with this protecting expensive equipment. For LIGHT protection (sprinkling and in areas where rain is infrequent (like California) it's better than nothing and the price is right. For anything more, I'd pass.
Buy Mountainsmith Rain Cover Now
As suggested by Mountainsmith, for example if you get a pack around 70 liters you would want a rain cover that is a large.I've got the Mountainsmith Cross Country 3.0 and it fits just fine, keeps everything dry and has a great storage system and is light weight.
What more do you need? Good cover, nice storage system; could be slightly heavier duty plastic for price, but overall great!I have Tamrac 5587 photographer backpack Tamrac 5587 Expedition 7x Photo/Laptop Backpack (Black) with the optional large SPX-777 side pockets attached to it. SPX777 M.A.S. Large Padded Pockets (Black) The MEDIUM Mountainsmith Rain Cover covers all of this easily with room to spare. As noted by others, these rain covers run quite large...I think I could also get it over a sleeping bag lashed to the bottom of my pack if desired. One note, a product feature listed here ("Hook-and-loop closure and angled cord attachment point") has nothing to do with the rain cover, it actually refers to the bag the cover is stuffed into. An example of mfr. trying to make something sound more exciting than it is...but at less than half the price of the Tamrac-brand rain cover, which does not fit my pack with the added side bags, this one from Mountainsmith is very reasonable. I haven't tested it in the rain but expect no problems and will update if I learn otherwise.

Jansport Santiam Backpack
It's doing the job. I'll continue to use it. Just get the feeling it won't last as long as I would like.
I've bought Jansport backpacks pretty regularly, yet this one just seems to lack the quality that the previous ones had.I love this backpack. It's stylish, roomy and very durable.
The padded straps and padded back make this also
extremely comfortable, even under heavy load.
It looks awesome as well. My new favorite!

Buy Victorinox Curb™ Collection Park - CLOSEOUT Now
I like this backpack a lot. It's sleek and a nice in-between a small pouch and huge camping bags you see everywhere. I just wish the front pocket had a little more room for odd sized stuff. I find that I just throw most of my pens, business cards, computer accessories, etc jumbled all together in the front. Other than that i think it's great!Read Best Reviews of Victorinox Curb™ Collection Park - CLOSEOUT Here

Spiderman Large Rolling Backpack
I would not recommend this backpack at all. The only plus is the cool artwork on the front.I bought this backpack for my 5 yr old who is in Kindergarten. He loves superheroes so I figured this would be a great rolling back. The size of the backpack is very spacious with several compartments. However, after about 2 weeks, the mechanical frame that holds the wheels broke completely. The backpack was then unusable after that. The backpack was not handled roughly, but the roller wheels frame is not that durable.

Dakine Explorer Pack

Everest Luggage Deluxe Sling Bag
big, can carry lots/large items
cons:
material feels rigid and thin
zippers are not smooth. I have to use both hands to open/close them
the lid over one zipper is such a stupid design!
it goes on my right shoulder, making it "unnatural" to put on or take off for me as a right-handed person
not small compartments to carry phones and keys.
overall:
can be a good gym bag, but not great for everyday commute or tourism.The bag is sturdy, seems well made, functional and looks good. The only problem is that it is not ergonomically designed for physically maturing/mature women, but flat chested individuals. When worn above the breast, its chafing on the neck, and below is just too uncomfortable and unflattering. If not for the strap design, its a perfect sized day pack for hiking, or a day at the mall. Its not a bad product, I just wished it disclosed it was designed primarily with children and men in mind.

Justin Bieber Large Rolling (guitar)
Buy Justin Bieber Large Rolling (guitar) Now
My 8 year old daughter was so excited to get a Justin Bieber rolling bookbag. On the first day of school, the straps got tangled in the wheels, locked them up and shredded the shoulder straps so that one of them can no longer be used. By the first week one of the zippers on the pockets broke and by the the second week, one of the main zippers broke. Today one the wheels partially broke. What a piece of junk. It didn't last three weeks of the third grade. To top it all off, because we didn't wait until the last minute to purchase the bookbag, it is too late to return it.Read Best Reviews of Justin Bieber Large Rolling (guitar) Here

Dakine Girls Hip Pack
Inside zipper pocket for money, room for a small water bottle in main compartment and room for camera
in smaller pocket. This hip pack/ fanny pack looks stylish without being too big or bulky.Bought the "houndstooth" color for my wife, thinking it would be black and pink like the picture. Instead, it was an ugly neon yellow and black. Returned it the next day.This is my latest purchase of super sturdy Dakine products. I haven't used this yet, but I can tell you already it is built with the same quality, durability and spaciousness like the rest of their products.
