Levi's Boys 8-20 Railer Backpack

Levi's Boys 8-20 Railer Backpack,Black Scratch Print,One SizeI was a little concerned this would be a small, lightweight backpack which are often made just for kids. Surprised to see college size pack with sturdy seams and fabric, should keep up with my rough and tumble son. Looks great dark color not to show every stain, nice label placement. Very pleased

This backpack has a lot of pockets and is made very well. My son loves it. The straps are comfortable.

I usually replace my son's backpack 2-3 times in a school year. It has been months and back pack still looks new. It is durable, spacious, & my 6 y/o says the padding is soft & confortable.

The only thing is the backpack size is bigger than most typical backpacks.

This backpack is as exactly as depicted. The colors are nice, arms are padded and fits really well for a boy size 10/12.

Phineas and Ferb Eyes Messenger Bag

Phineas and Ferb Eyes Messenger BagMy seven year old boy wanted something to carry his "stuff" in and his 17 year old brother has a sling that he uses so finding this item was great. It's a sling and looks just like the picture. I had to warn him that some may say it's a "purse" which did happen at church, but several other kids immediately said no it wasn't and that it was very cool. He had some really good feedback on it, but even better I was happy that he loved it no matter what anyone said. It's just the right size for him. It was great on a beach trip for him to keep track of all his special things.

Korchmar La Romana Computer Backpack

Korchmar La Romana Computer Backpack - BlackThis is a great looking, spacious briefcase. The leather is supple, not stiff, and the briefcase suits a very casual man. It's well organized and allows him to carry a laptop, iPad, Kindle, all cords, books, files and small items. He likes the ability to sling it over a shoulder when he is handling two dogs or traveling. Excellent well made piece.

A bit better than what I was originally going for, it's very sterdy and very good for sewing on patches, I recomend this as a school or scout bag.

Timbuk2 Uptown Laptop TSA-Friendly Backpack

Timbuk2 Uptown Laptop BackpackI am severely disappointed in this bag. I have owned two Timbuk2 bags prior to this and I always swallowed the price tag because of the unbelievable quality and durability of their bags. This is clearly not the case on the Uptown. Upon receiving I noticed how cheaply made the bag was:

No reinforced bottom.

Straps thin and single stiched.

Ultrathin pack material.

Worst of all, the carrying handles are a joke. The thinnest single piece of nylon I have ever seen a pack. My 1990's Jansport made this feel like a glass egg!

At first I thought I was the victim of poor quality control, but even on the Timbuk2 site there are customers crying out for more durability on this pack! WAKE UP TIMBUK2!!

By the way, my strap broke at the bottom during my first trip to work. So it was really fun carrying my backpack around in my arms like a sack all day!

To give you an idea, it had a small 15" laptop, Ipad, a 1"binder, three pens and my car keys. I admit one of those pens weighed a few ounces, but come on! Seriously, the bag was no where near it's proposed weight or size capacity.

It's just really sad to see a grassroots company like Timbuk2 sell out to try and make a buck from the people who backed you from the beginning.

Needless to say, thanks to Amazon, the bag is going back and I'll never trust in Timbuk2 again. I can only hope you learn from my mistake and steer clear.

I've had this backpack for couple months now and I honestly love it more and more....

What I use it for:

daily bus commute to work, I usually carry iPad, 15'' laptop, gzillion cables, chargers, headsets, ... occasionally a jacket (even winter fleece jacket fits), and yes also coffee mug

What I was worried about:

1. the material feel thin and cheap. I was wrong, honestly it works great, I actually like how light it is

2. zippers feel cheap as well, but work, no issue there

What I love:

1. tons of pockets

2. laptop pocket I used it 6x at the airports already, never had to pull my laptop out of the backpack so convenient, yes people are jealous

3. shoulder straps really nicely fit, this is probably the most comfortable backpack I used so far

What I don't care about but you might:

1. this is not waterproof backpack, I would not take it skying

2. it has no waist strap

3. it is not "tough" backpack, don't expect same material you are used to from messenger bag, this backpack is as light and simple as possible

Is there anything to improve: Well yes, there is always something.

1. I would love to see mouse pocket (yeah geeky stuff) and padded sunglasses pocket

2. Perhaps a bit less flimsy zippers.

3. true napoleon pocket (the existing napoleon pocket is sideways, but deep down and thus harder to pull stuff from)

Buy Timbuk2 Uptown Laptop TSA-Friendly Backpack Now

Yes, it's kind of expensive. But totally worth it!

I had my Timbuk2 messenger bag for 12 years, and decided it was time to upgrade. I've got a lot of back problems, and was told the messenger style bag isn't helping. (The messenger bag is still going strong BTW, speaks volumes about the quality of Timbuk2!)

I travel, A LOT, and this bag really saves time and effort at the airport. I was a little weary that the TSA would let it through without me taking my computer out, but so far I've been through DCA, CLT, BWI, and SAV with no problems. I'm going through LAX tomorrow and expect the same.

The only thing that concerns me about this bag is where the straps are connected it looks like there is a lot of stress on the stitching. I'm confident Timbuk2 knows what they are doing, and I guess only time will tell. I'll update if I have any problems.

I have had several timbuk2 bags and this is my favorite. The TSA friendly compartment holds my laptop and this section also easily holds my iPad as well. There is a section for all my power cords, a smaller section for pens etc. And the kicker is there is a compartment for a small amount of clothing. I recently went on a two day business trip and was able to carry just this bag. And given all these compartments, this bag is quite small.

I may never get another kind of bag again.

Want Timbuk2 Uptown Laptop TSA-Friendly Backpack Discount?

I almost returned this bag, but I decided to keep it...

The bad:

Very uncomfortable The straps have virtually no padding and are very narrow, so they bite into you pretty badly, especially if you are wearing it over one sholder. The only way that I have found any comfort is to have it fully on my back. Also, there is no padding on the back of the bag, so your back is effectively against your laptop. It feels like having a flat board strapped to your back.

Cheap Zippers Don't move smoothly and snag often, which is not a good thing in the security line at the airport. My previous Swissgear bag had zippers that worked very smoothly and with little effort, so I am used to much better.

Build Quility Though I don't think the quality is quite as bad as some of the reviewers before me, I don't expect that this bag will last more than a year or two.

The good:

TSA friendly so, don't have to remove the laptop at security checkpoints

Layout of pockets and compartments works well for my style of organization.

Holds my 17" laptop, but is still a pretty compact bag. My old bag always seemed really big and took up a lot of space.

Nice looking bag

Lillebaby Stockholm Diaper Bag

Lillebaby Stockholm Diaper Bag in Chocolate BrownI purchased this diaper bag because I wanted a bag that looked more like a purse. This bag is great and I really like that it can attach to the stroller. It has an outside zipper pocket that I use for my wallet and I use one of the two inner pockets for my other items. It is very roomy inside for dipaers, a small balanket, and some toys. I love the flap that contains the wipes, that is genius. The changing pad is a bit short in length. I always bring some really thin disposable small chux pads with me to put under my baby's bottom so it works, or else I don't bring the changing pad at all. I love this diaper bag and also the Lillebaby's carrier.

This is a relatively small sized diaper bag made of good quality material with useful pockets and compartments.

I've had it just a few weeks but like the ability to take what I need for a few hours out-3 or 4 diapers, wipes, diaper cream, hand spray, burp cloth, extra blanket, change of onesie, water bottle for me, wallet etc in the pocket. However, it probably won't provide enough space as the diapers and clothes get bigger or if I need to carry baby bottles. But I think it's a good size for most short trips out.

And the changing pad is just big enough right now for my newborn--it will be a bit skimpy as she grows, so I may need to carry a separate pad.

Other complaint is if it is full and you close the zipper, a section of the zipper may separate close to the starting end. It can be fixed once you unzip it fully, but it does not maintain being closed if the bag is too full. Since the bag zips on a curve and doesn't have any stretch or give around the zipper, it isn't forgiving of an extra item or two.

Just to keep in mind.

But I'll definitely keep it and use it, with a larger bag already purchased for bigger days out.

Disney Cars 12" Backpack McQueen

Disney Cars 12' Backpack McQueenThe zipper seam is nice and wide for full access to the main compartment. Although small, a second zipper compartment on top makes for the perfect spot to hide the little treasures. Great for day trips and packing toys for plane trips or longer getaways.

My grandson loves this. I was sent a photo of him wearing it and a great big smile! Definitely priceless!

I originally bought this for my three year old to take to preschool. But beware, this backpack is rather small and will not fit a binder in it as my sons preschool requires. With that being said, I kept it anyway and he plays with it and loves it. It's good quality but a bit small for actual school.

I LOVE this backpack, but sadly returned it because the zipper is not located on the top of the pack, like normal, but much lower down. That fact really inhibits the size of items that will fit. Sad, since it was so super cute. Just know if you get it that school folders won't fit but it would still be great for a preschool bad if it doesn't have to fit a folder.

Very cute! Good size for a toddler. Quality is good. Mines did come with a little black stain but I wasn't noticeable.

Sesame Street Toddler Backpack

Sesame Street Toddler BackpackI bought this for my 18 month old son who loves Elmo. It is small enough for him to wear (he is just in 2T sizes) and he is thrilled to have a backpack like the bigger boys. It is roomy although we do not put much in it. It seems sturdy. Great purchase. It's a joy to see how happy he is when he gets to wear it.

My son-in-law was looking for something to carry all his "stuff" back and forth to work. He's a nurse's aid so had all kinds of stuff to carry. I got him this pack and it has performed wonderfully for him. It looks great (and masculine! very important to him) and has held up great!!

This is made really cute and the Flower Girl at my Daughter's wedding just loved it. It came with cute items and we add some to make it special.

It is made well and is a great idea. But the color for a little girl makes it very plain. I wish it came in different colors and I think they would sell a lot more.

Stahlsac by Bare Bonaire Deluxe Mesh Wet/Dry Backpack

Stahlsac WD16 Bonaire Deluxe Mesh Dry Backpack - YellowI love my new bag. The dry storage section is great plenty of room for a dry shirt and towel. The front pocket is also very convienient for smaller items that would be lost in the bottom. I keep my BC, REG, fins, snorkle and mask all in my bag and I have plenty of room for more stuff. The shoulder straps are really comfortable even when carrying a full load. I would definately reccomend it to a friend. If you just snorkle and don't have a full set of dive gear then you probably only need a smaller bag

I've been looking for a good bag for some time. When I found the price on this I couldn't pass. When it arrived I was thrilled, quality is top notch! I loaded all my scuba gear, fins, mask, snorkel, boots, bcd, computer, log book. and still room! wish I had bought two!

Timbuk2 Bender Laptop Backpack

Timbuk2 Bender Laptop Backpack, Rev Red/Cement/Gunmetal, MediumI own three Timbuk2 messengers and I am really impressed by the materials used and build-quality overall.

However for the Bender, I was quite disappointed. Firstly, the "light-weight" nylon does not feel as sturdy as my other Timbuk2 bags. The stitches also do not seem to be as good as the ones in the messengers, not sure if its due to the new material or Made-in-P********** or just my imagination...

The bag is very roomy @ 27 litres, but due to the filmsy material it doesn't hold its shape very well. I suppose its the trade-off for using light-weight nylon.

I like the design though, but was just very surprised by the difference in quality between my other messengers and/or even when comparing my Q backpack...

I will still buy Timbuk2 in future, but not without handling it in future...Its a regret I have to rate it a 2-star...Don't get me wrong, Timbuk2 products are generally of 5-star quality.

Owner of 2 laptop messengers, 1 Q backpack, 1 Bi-fold wallet & 1 "light-weight" Bender......

I'm a full time student. I bought this to replace a Dakine Eve Women's Backpack that I used for a little over 2 years, 6 days a week until the lining starting peeling which almost drove me insane. Immediately I noticed this backpack made a huge difference on my back. It distributes the weight of what I carry (I drink lots of water)in a way that does not hurt my back. It holds everything (school and personal items), easily fitting my 14.1 HP laptop. I can't vouch for the durability since I've only been using it for a few weeks now but it seems well made. I would definitely recommend this product even though I haven't used it for long, I am very happy with this purchase.

My daily bike ride to school is a 20 mile round trip through hot Houston humidity and this backpack has become my favorite companion. It sits perfectly on my back, keeps the sweat on my back to a minimum and easily holds everything I need for my classes and the gym. My favorite part are straps on the back, I use the top one to fasten my helmet securely to the pack and the bottom as a clothes line for my towel and riding gear. This will be my third purchase from Timbuk2 and I've been pleased with them all, the quality is fantastic.

I traveled around SE Asia for 6 weeks using this bag. It has quality craftsmanship and is lightweight. I bought it because it had (i) those straps on the outside that can hold an item outside the bag, and (ii) because it had a little pouch area where you could place a small laptop/ipad without it banging around.

The good:

1It is super lightweight and really can hold a lot. If you are using this as an overnight bag, you will be able to fit much.

2Quality craftsmanship. Whatever this material is, it stands up to everything I threw at it.

The bad:

1If you're using this as a day bag, it's inconvenient. It is missing small interior pockets. It has some, but they are so tight, that you really can't place much inside. The one outside is huge (as long as the bag), and this doesn't allow you to easily get at your sunglasses or ipod or whatever quickly.

2One of the worst parts of the bag is that if you are carrying something using the straps on the outside (in my case I carried a pair of scuba fins), you can't access the outside pocket as the fins (or skateboard or whatever) blocks this pocket.

3There is a small side pocket but it too is super tight and small and doesnt really suffice to hold anything of any size (and this includes a water bottle!). If they could just add a small, but usable, outside pocket, it would make this bag much better.

4The shoulder straps are uncomfortable. Once I had 7-8kg in the bag, they sort of cut into your shoulders. You just have to grin and bear it there is no way to adjust and no padding to assist.

5The straps on the outside are adjustable BUT they do have a limit. And sadly, the limit was reached for my fins. Also, the straps do not stay tight the come loose and require constant re-tightening or whatever you are holding in them falls out.

Its sad really, because this bag had such a great start. But it's like the person who created this bag didn't travel with it. When you add up all the small things, you realize it's not as usable as you'd like.

Want Timbuk2 Bender Laptop Backpack Discount?

Overall, I'm satisfied with this. I take in on 15-20 mile bike rides each way to work (~40 mile round trip). Still get back sweat but not as bad as my old backpack, but aside from getting away from using a bag, I realize that will still be an issue.

The bag is a little long, though I'm only 5'6.

I like ithaven't tested it in the rain yet, but hopefully it keeps my stuff dry!

Liberty Bags Large Drawstring Backpack. 8882

Liberty Bags Large Drawstring Backpack. 8882 - One Size - Kelly GreenThe drawstring bags are strong and durable. I can fit anything I want into it. I would have liked for the bags to have had a zippered pocket. And the draw strings themselves seem to be a bit lengthy but these are minor issues. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase. Other bags that I have had did not contain the space that this one does. I have had the bags for about two months.
