AmeriLeather Traditional Leather Backpack
As far as service goes service was great, no complaints
Areas where the product description is worng:
1) The backpack straps are NOT detachable. They are the standard strap style that you will find on any backpack. I was disappointed in this, because my backpacks are typically ruined when the straps rip out (AKA I load my backpacks up with heavy books and most standard straps rip their stitching out). I was really looking forward to recieving a backpack that had re-enforced attachments for the straps.
2) There are NO side pockets; however, there are plenty of pockets in the front.
3) This backpack has a total of 5 compartment. Other then the main compartment you have one that is capable of a text book. The remaining 3 are appropiate size for pens and office supplies.
4) The U-zipper on this backpack goes almost all the way to the bottom of the bag. It stops about an inch and a half up from the base. This is a wonderful over the standard backpack design as it allows you easily stack your books in the backpack. My previous backpack I had to stand the books up in. I would say that this U-zipper design by itself makes the backpack worth owning.
The one thing that is expressed in the product description very well is the dimensions. This is a very deep backpack, with a base that is 5" wide. If you are like me and typically carry the majority of your college books in your backpack then you will love this. I just started nursing school and was very pleased to find out that ALL of my books for the semester can be carried inside this backpack.
I would recommend this backpack to a friend, in fact I intend to. As I stated before the only thing I am wary about is having the standard style of backpack straps.This is a larger backpack and it is absolutely wonderful. I use it every day on my way to work on the scooter. The leather is very soft and doesn't smell. A great product and will buy one for my husband.

Great size, compact, good looking, well made, perfect... this is not the kind of bag you'd use for a camping trip.Read Best Reviews of AmeriLeather Traditional Leather Backpack Here
This is a hefty backpack and its quite durable, it's just not the most fitting to your back. The main pocket it really large and that males my books fit strange and for some reason it doesn't fit in my back very well. But it is an overall good backpackThese backpacks are an amazing product for the price. I purchased two, for my husband and for me, mainly for airline travel that way these roomy packs can be in lieu of a purse or bag, and with the allowed carry-ons, we can avoid checking luggage. They are handsome and very functional. There is plenty of room for travel essentials, a change of clothes, and I include a small handbag to use once we are at our destination. The backpack costs less than a quality handbag and is way more versatile. I couldn't be happier with this product!Thursday, June 12, 2014

Dakine Porter Messenger Bag
Buy Dakine Porter Messenger Bag Now
My hunt for a baby gear day-bag ended here. These come in some other grey/black colors with (I think perhaps) some coated ballistic nylon material which would have been nice. But I went with the crimson for aesthetics and it's still ballistic nylon with a water resistant backing so pretty decent at not leaving puddles on seats. The padding for the laptop is pretty much insulation for keeping necessary things cool, and the end pockets fit bottle and cups pretty well. Materials are top notch, though construction isn't quite as rugged as their heli-packs or rolltop bags and even though I haven't put this through too much abuse quite yet, it's pretty solid I expect it'll hold up for a few years.The waist strap is great when I have to be active (picking up, setting down, etc.) and can't have my poppa purse swinging around and sliding off my shoulder all the time. The pocket flaps are all integrated into the sides of the pockets so things aren't falling out when you bend over (hard to explain that feature). Cinch straps are all long enough for filling to capacity and still clipping closed.
Bottom Line: Perhaps it doesn't have the most hipster swag, but it's still a good looking, well designed messenger bag for being active, and that's what it all about.
(though I could always use a few more pockets, and full pu-coated nylon with fully welded seams... a guy can dream)

Trail Maker Classic 16" Backpack
Buy Trail Maker Classic 16" Backpack Now
This backpack is simply made, one large main storage area and one outside pocket and no padding making it very light weight. I'm using this to carry my purse and tablet as I'm not adding much weight using this backpack. Great for taking the bus around town. The small outside pocket is large enough to hold a fairly bulky zoom digital camera but I put it in a padded sleeve first since that pocket would most likely be bumped a lot.The straps are padded and only 2" wide which is great for my narrow shoulders but not so narrow that they dig into my shoulders even with my hefty purse inside.

I was looking for a simple backpack for my boyfriend to use when skateboarding, walking, etc. around the city without having to use his large school backpack or a dreaded manpurse. Got exactly what I was looking for! It's perfect for a simple carry and has a classic design.Came exactly on time from the sender, and in great shape. Thanks!I bought this bag awhile ago and it is great! I have put this bag to the test and it has never ripped at all. I carry multiple books, my laptop and anything else I need for school that day and it amazes me that something so cheap can be so great. I would recommend this bag to any and everyone!

Dakine Section Wet/Dry Pack
The dakine section is perfect for day trip or a week long surf trip when you travel light to Bali or Fiji. 40 L is the right volume you need.Bought this to replace the old version that had a wet bag that was not attached, so we an airline lost the wet bag. The new bag is large enough for wet suits, skin suits, towels, etc. the wet bag is integral to the backpack, so we can't lose it. There is also a small cooler in the bottom of the bag that's great for snacks and beverages. Lots of pouches and pockets for all your stuff. Really worth it if you swim, surf or go to the ocean a lot!

Meffort Inc 15 15.6 inch Neoprene Laptop Bag Sleeve with Extra Side Pocket, Soft Carrying Handle &
There is even a bonus pocket on the front. Straps are very comfortable. One drawback for me, it has a very strong chemical smell, so I have put it outside to air out but it is still there. Maybe just this kind of material gives off this odor? Otherwise it is perfect. Great price, shipping was a little slow but I am still satisfied.This is very nice and the shoulder strap is very comfortable. I was unhappy that the back side of the ink print was blurred as if the ink bled and smeared. At least the front looks nice. Front compartment is functional for a little extra space.It's light weight yet it protects the laptop well. I take it everywhere with me. It's a great buy. My laptop loves it.It's a very snug fit and I almost didn't buy it because I didn't think I would be taking my new laptop anywhere. I take it everywhere! and it's always ready to go. plus my mouse and charger fit in the side zip up pouch

The North Face Terra 65
I guess I will be the first to review this item. I want to go over in detail on the extremities I put this backpack through and what I have planned for the future with this pack.
I went on a 2 day hike with my father-in-law up the Estrella mountain in Phoenix, AZ. The mountain peak is over 4500 ft in elevation and base starts at just around 1100 ft. I purchased this backpack specifically for this trip and I am glad to say I will be using this backpack more in the future. I don't take hiking lightly and this backpack held up to my specs. If you are interested in the conditions I put this backpack through than read the next paragraph. If not than skip to the pros and cons below:
As previously stated my father-in-law and I went on a hike that was around 3500 ft change in elevation. We were in the dead middle of the desert hiking this mountain. There are no streams, rivers, or lakes nearby. We had to carry everything from water, rope, tent, sleeping bag, weapons (rattle snakes, coyotes, mountains lions, etc), change of clothes, food, etc. . The trip was routed for around 12-13 miles in total hike, 45 lbs packs (each), and all rocky terrain. This backpack has some pros and cons I would like to cover. This backpack was placed on the rocks and was pressed against the mountain as we were resting.
Pros:
Great Padding
Great back support
Great hip strap
Great chest strap
A lot of space
Lightweight
A lot of options for adjustments to get comfortable
Solid and reliable material
Cons:
It would be nice to have quick access pockets on the hip pads
The mesh material to hold water bottles on the sides of the backpack do not work well if the backpack is full
The storage area for the water reservoir (camelback) is to low and serves no point as the hook for the camelback sits up much higher. (It does work well for back up camelbacks to be stored).
I gave this product 4 stars and would suggest this product to anyone. I enjoy using this backpack and I am soon going to be using this backpack on my trip down to the bottom of the grand canyon. I have no fear that this backpack will do me great justice.After living/working in Africa, Europe, Asia, The Middle East, Central America and, of course, the U.S, having kit that I can rely upon, to function in the best and worst of conditions, is essential. This pack is CAVERNOUS, and holds everything I need for 5-7 days in "the bush", it customizes to my frame easily (5'8" 79kg), dries quickly, and with a little water proofing, keeps things relatively dry. The side zipper is good for access, but not great, and the sleeping bag compartment can hold a blanket NOT a sleeping bag just FYI. That being said, if the zippers were a little heavier, like REI puts on most of their packs, I'd give this bag 5 stars. It's light, strong, durable and worth every penny regardless of how serious/recreational the user might be.

I just returned from a two day hiking/backpacking trip and the pack preformed great. It's well padded and it had plenty of room for everything that I had with me. I especially liked the stretchy pouch on the outside of the pack. I was able to stuff it full of a lot of extras I needed to keep handy.this back pack first of all is simply amazing and highly customizible so no matter if you are 11 or 42 this back pack will fit with alittle ajusting and another thing is theres no problem with the waterbottle holder and no problem with the camelback area it is a great backpack to have for the price and it is also very cofortable and very durable so if you are contiplating on what backpack to buy this is the obvious choice i hope this review was helpful and enjoy your new terra 65 by tnfSunday, January 26, 2014
DISNEY CARS LARGE BACKPACK - CARS 2

Therm-a-Rest Gear-View Dry Sack
However, I would be remiss to not mention a couple things about this that bug me. For instance, when is large too large? When you first unfurl this giant, you will be taken aback. At over two feet long, it is easily large enough for almost anything you want to put into it, heck, I can probably fit a couple cats in it ... not that I would have any use for cats on the trail ... maybe a couple small dogs? Anyways ... I initially bought this to hold a new sleeping mat (the Therm-a-rest trail lite) and realized that there would be a LOT of excess space around it. As I started to think of other things to add to the sack, I realized that because of its narrow diameter, its utility for other items to be added to the sack would be limited. I have also looked at using it for clothing inside my pack and will probably use it for that and order this sack's smaller version for my mat. Also, if filled, it is too large to be secured to the outside of your pack in a graceful manner, and any pack smaller than 75L is too small to carry this unless you don't fill it all the way and really roll the top down.
Be warned ... when stuffing this sack, you will be tempted to keep adding things to it because it has more room, but remember that it has to go INSIDE your backpack.Take the time to measure out your mattress or your sleeping pad so that you know if this will fit or not. I had a sleeping pad that was 26" wide and about 6-7" diameter, so I got the large dry sack. After the top lid of this case is snapped shut, it fit flawlessly, and it's water proof.
I just wish that therm-a-rest would have included this with the sleep systems. Why make it a separate order? Other than that, this is a good case for a good product, so that I can take my therm-a-rest backpacking.Does exactly what it says on the tin!!!! Almost like a dry sack, just a light version. holds my mat well!

Disney Movie Wall E Backpack
Buy Disney Movie Wall E Backpack Now
My youngest grandson is 3 years old this week. He is in love with everything WALL-E. I was so pleased to find WALL-E merchandise on Amazon.com. My grandson was so excited to receive the WALL-E backpack for his birthday. He is using it everyday for daycare stuff!I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of construction of this backpack. The materials are on par with backpacks that cost twice as much.This backpack is really cute and my son is a HUGE Wall-E fan so this was the perfect buy to start his preschool year. Unfortunately, the backpack didn't hold up well. It started falling apart within months. The inside of the backpack had rips and tears in it which is really pathetic because it only ever contained my son's lunch box (made of soft material) and his folder every day. So there was no significant reason that so much "wear and tear" was done on the inside of it. By this following school year the backpack is almost unusable. We had to replace it with a Cars 2 backpack, which he doesn't really like as much as the Wall-E one. I don't know about you, but when I was growing up, backpacks lasted years not months...
