Alpinestars Terror Backpack 6100812-162

Alpinestars Terror Backpack 6100812-162As some others have noted, the backpack is a bit on the small side. Other than that, though, it's a very nice backpack. Took some adjusting to get it to fit just right, there are numerous straps that need to be adjusted, but once it's in the right spot, it stays put. The padding on it is excellent, very comfortable and has pads in places you wouldn't expect (on both the shoulder straps AND on the part that actually touches your back). The padding helps to keep my laptop from stabbing me in the back, and it gives the backpack a bit of a curve. With a normal backpack, you end up with the "flat" feeling if you have books or a laptop, and it feels like the backpack is barely touching your back. This one is far more comfortable in that regard.

Was *barely* able to fit a 14" HP Envy Ultrabook with a neoprene slip cover. Not sure if it would fit a 15" laptop as claimed. With the (very thin) laptop in the backpack, I can fit one AVERAGE size textbook and a notebook or two. So if you have lots of books (or even 1 big book) to haul around, I'd go with one of the bigger backpacks. For reference, this one is advertised as 17 Liter capacity.

Good construction, zippers open and close properly, helmet holder is effective if a bit unwieldy (I think that would be the case with any backpack with helmet holder, it's hard not to hit people and/or objects).

Briggs & Riley Luggage Boost Convertible Brief

Briggs & Riley Luggage Boost Convertible Brief, Black, 16 InchI looked for almost a year to find the right bag. I ordered and returned 8 different bags during this search. While I found a lot of interesting options, I was looking for a specific combination of features. I love a vertical bag, easy to carry and handle; I wanted room for my computer and ipad as well as the various gadgets I use while travelling, presenting, etc.; plus a wanted to be able to carry a few client files and a notepad. Most messenger bags did not give me enough room for all this... In fact this is the only vertical bag I found that gave me everything I wanted. This bag is perfect. I have not used the backpack feature but I can see it would be very easy to do. Recommended.

Overall, I'm happy with this bag. It seems well made and of high quality materials. I'm really liking the vertical orientation which is easier for me to carry but it can be converted to horizontal when needed. The shoulder strap is well padded which makes it feel light and comfortable even when fully loaded.

Though I like many things about this bag, there are some problems as well and I think that, at this price, you should have higher expectations. My main complaint is the laptop compartment. It is padded on the bottom and sides but not near enough. It really needs more padding on the bottom to prevent damage from a drop. I also don't understand why the laptop compartment was put on the outside. There is a middle compartment for papers but this would be the ideal place to put the laptop, sandwiched between the main general compartment (pens, keys, wallets) on one side and the paper compartment on the other. Even with the padding in the laptop compartment, I plan on putting in some semi-ridgid plastic guards with more padding to protect the laptop and may just switch to the center compartment altogether with my padding modifications.

The other problem is that the clips on the shoulder straps can be twisted in a way that they unclip from the bag. This usually happens when the bag has been set down then you pick it up by the strap. I've had a clip disconnect at least 5 times this way in a little over a month of ownership. This is a problem that you can get used to and avoid but still should not be an issue for a bag at this price.

In summary, it's a good bag and I'm glad I have it. With some minor changes it could be a 5 star bag.

My first month with this bag has been exceptional. Assembly quality is very high, lifetime warranty convinced me to take the plunge, and it holds all of my gear: MacBookPro 15, MacBookAir 11, kindle, mouse, camera, all cables/connectors, small toiletries kit (never know when the airline is going to loose your bag, eh?), external HD, Wireless hotspot, small flashlight, checkbook, iPhone, wallet, keys, 3 magazines, 1 book, 1 pad, sunglasses, and I can just fit my Bose QC15's. A cocoon Grid-it holds all cables and small stuff in the main compartment. That being said, it can hold NOTHING else. Bag is full, but not bulging.

Clean an organized, very little to snag on the outside, professional look, and (drum roll) the slot on the back of the bag to slip through the extended handle of my rolling bag. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE VALUE OF THIS! Pro tip with Roller bag in upper storage, this bag is at my feet. Unclasp one end of the strap and connect it to the magazine slot when you sit down much easier to pull it up to dig stuff out in flight. The shoulder strap feels OK, I like the sewn-in large pad that converts to a backpack. Yet to use it like that, but still a solid option.

Request for improvement: The outside zippered bottle holder needs to be larger, and probably have a drawcord to snug it up (I've dropped my bottle twice on folks while getting seated). The key pocket, while a good idea, needs to be deeper. I agree that a little more cushion on the bottom of the laptop slot would be smart not necessary, but smart. Needs two more pen holders. Of the two organizer pockets inside, only one has a velcro-close top they both need this. Shoulder strap needs grippy stuff on the pad, it tends to slip unless you wear it across your chest (messenger bag style).

Why not 5 stars? Fix the stuff above or cut the price to $120.

I use this backpack for business travel and mix and match with two other Briggs & Riley products, depending on the length of my travel. It is fantastic and well worth the extra $$. It is a thoughtfully crafted small backpack that has all (and more) of the practical storage that I need (including one for a small bottled drink) and looks professional enough for a meeting with a suit. I was skeptical about the orange interior, but appreciate its contrast against all of the black things that I keep in the pack and used to have a hard time finding with previous, black lined pockets. My only complaint is that (sometimes, depending on what I am wearing) one shoulder strap will begin to slip off my shoulder. It is only a problem when needing to move quickly and without hassle. The solution is to cinch with shoulder straps tighter, but (depending on what Im wearing) then it is difficult to take off . Perhaps have an optional chest clasp. It is great, and I am glad (again) to have spent a little extra on such a well-designed, useful product.

This is about my 6th B&R bag so there were no surprises that quality was great, zippers worked, and things were generally well thought out etc. One small detail, the lip is too large on the front pocket to make easy access to the zipper, on the plus side, it is more pickpocket proof. I did try to make the back strap pop off like in other reviews, but I could not, maybe they have revised it and fixed the problem it is a model vb404.4 version. Anyways, like the bag fine I have never been disappointed with Briggs and Riley.

Pacsafe Luggage Venture Safe 15L GII

Pacsafe Luggage Venture Safe 15L GII, Sunset Red, MediumThis is a solid bag. It fits well. 15L is perfect for carrying iPad, Nikon D7000 DSLR camera (with lens), 2 additional high quality lenses (with hoods), plus other knick-knacks for the camera. I will be using while traveling overseas, so I needed something a little more secure. Aside from the cut-through resistant fabric, the zippers can be latched in place to prevent someone from unzipping and dashing off with your valuables. The bag also allows you to clip one of the arms around a table or chair which is designed to discourage thieves from running by and grabbing your gear. I do not own RFID enabled credit cards or passport, but the bag does advertise protection from thieves that can scan for these devices.

I purchased this in anticipation of a trip to Italy this Sept/Oct. I used a similarly sized backpack, in place of a bag or purse, last time I was there and it was great as I cannot stand the feel of a cross body pack and also like the hands free wandering. After being advised, and warned by friends who had recently travelled through Greece and Italy, that pickpocketing and theft are at all time highs, I wanted to get something more secure. Quick shipping got it here within a week. Color is very accurate, the material is soft but feels substantial and you do not feel or see the internal mesh safety wire on the body or in the straps. The padding on the pack and the wide straps are very comfortable and stay in place even without the extra chest strap. It is even comfortable carried on one shoulder for short periods of time. I am only 5'5" and walk pretty fast; this sits nicely on the center of my back without bouncing or being too long and hitting the top of my butt! The two side pockets for water bottles are ample and accommodate fairly large diameter bottles. The security clasps on the zippers are easy to lock and not hard to open but you would definitely notice if someone was trying to get them open while you were wearing it it is a two handed operation. The small exterior zippered pocket has three compartments, one being RFID for passport or wallet with credit cards (wallet would have to be on the small side and it fits my passport with little room to spare). Only minor complaint would be that it would be a tad more accessible with two zippers creating one large flap instead of one zipper going 3/4 of way but not a big deal. The interior is spacious and my tablet easily fits in the padded pocket with room to spare. This medium size would accommodate a smaller laptop with no problem! The large interior is roomy and easily fits my SLR camera, extra lens, scarf, paperback book(s), small purchases, travel umbrella, rolled up rain jacket, and it wasn't stuffed full. Pretty high price point, but it appears well constructed and should last a long time. Will write update AFTER the trip this fall. Would recommend!

Planning on using this great back on the next family trip. Easy to spot. Great security with RFID blocking and theft protection. The medium size is great for day trip or carrying ipad or other snacks and the bag does take up too much space. Really looking forward to using it.

Hi, finally I found a right size of backpack and the weight is just right too. The first Pacsafe I have is the ladies size small backpack black which is a little bit too small to put in my IPad but I have given it to my teenage daughter. She likes it very much as its a right size for her!

The North Face Surge II Backpack

THE NORTH FACE Surge II Daypack TNF BLACKSo after weeks of reading about backpacks and their practicality and so on, I decided on the Surge II and wont even look back!

Some people are saying this daypack is a waste of money and to purchase the Surge I instead. I would have to disagree

I am a college student and I also enjoy getting lost in the woods so this pack serves my every needs

A. Lets start with the first large compartment (laptop compartment)

1. Its huge and has a tablet compartment attached to it. I fit my 15" Macbook in there with a case and use the tablet compartment for my charger usually

2. Sorry but this compartment does not have a slit to run a bladder hose through but you can always just run it though an opening in a zipper if you really wanted

3. This compartment also has a foam tube on the bottom (2inch in diameter) for protection(I just drop my bag to the floor even with my laptop in it when i set it down honestly)

B. The next large compartment is your main compartment,

1. For day hikes, I fill this thing to the top with food, clothes, gear, and usually one very large jacket for the night hike back.

2. For school i could fit my biology and physics text book in there (each is about 300 pages) plus my binders and notebooks with enough space to add my sweater on top, ITS HUGE!

C. Here's your organizational pocket

1. velcro compartment, attached to a pocket the same size which is zippered, attached to two other pocket, (could fit a CD case in each) plus other small compartments including a padded pocket for something more delicate like an iphone perhaps.

2. The front side of the pocket has a mesh zipper compartment which is nice because you can always see what you got in there.

D. Now in the front you can see two zippers, unlike the Surge I, on the Surge II these pockets arnt connected!

1. Two separate pockets big enough to fit 3-4 water bottles in each, this is where i keep my on-the-go snacks and other totally random useful things

E. Above these two pockets you have the flannel material for sun glasses and such, its big enough for me to fit my hand in there with my fingers stretched out as far as possible

DONT BE FOOLED! This pack has only 1 bottle holder (pictured) the other side is just a strechy pocket and it fits my first aid kit in the perfectly!

also the bottle holder keeps my 1L nalgene bottle in place and it never shakes, even when its full

This change they did doesnt matter for me, 1L of water is plenty and if i needed more, im sure i can find space in the pack to store a bottle for refill.

other things: the waist strap tucks away underneath the padding, it has a chest strap with a whistle attached, got a chain of daisy loops and its looks GREAT!

I've also made a bunch of my buddies kinda jealous

It's nice to feel comfortable on a 20mile hike and this pack does it! definitely recommended.

perfect for the college student, biking to campus, with computers and books. Well made, durable. Light weight, lots of pockets, extra padding for the electronics.

It is a perfect size for me because I like backpacks that have lots of pockets and space. It fits a computer, tablet, books, pencils, a phone and much, much more If you like lots of space, I would recommend this product to you.

I have been a fan of TNF for years now this is another reason why. This bag fits my laptop easily and tablet. I has enjoy extra room for cameras, clothes and all other extras. It is a little heavy on it own but that adds to the security that your laptop is protected. The pocket for power is perfect for all sizes of adapters and cords. Great for day trips, weekend trips or longer. I am very happy with it.

Great backpack. It's able hold all of my things all in separate pockets while maintaining a comfortable posture. Best bag I have had.

Wilson Premium Players Pack

Wilson Volleyball Premium Players Backpack - Black/Silver One Sizevery spacious and light! I can carry my beach towel, extra change of clothes, sunscreen, etc and carry my vball! Only slight downfall if they could have added a smaller compartment for keys and cell phones for easier finding but that's okay I just use a smaller bag to place in one of the side pockets.

This bag works great. Sometimes its a little snug to get the volleyball in its place, but is nice pocket to keep it separate from everything else. Nice side bags for bug spray, sunblock, air pump. main compartment good for extra clothes or towels when going to tourny's or league games.

Con Needs one more smaller pocket for keys/personal items.

OverBoard Adventure Duffel Bag

OverBoard Adventure Duffel Bag, White, 90-LiterI bought this bag about two years ago. It is amazing, especially for the price. I work offshore on a boat and sometimes have to do boat to boat transfers that can soak our bags. My stuff stays dry in this bag (probably not the choice for full immersion, I have true dry bags for kayak trips, etc.). I was surprised by how good the quality of the stitching, zippers, fabric, etc. was, considering it was about 1/3 or less of the price of a North Face bag, which I was really considering hard. It's a good sized bag, but if not stuffed totally full I've got it on as carry on luggage many times (flexible bags fit more places, ya'know). Anyway, I don't post reviews very often, but love this bag!!!

The first time I used this bag it leaked and everything inside got wet. I used it exactly as they advertised it, for "light splash" conditions. I contacted the manufacturer and here is a direct quote from their reply: "It's not really meant to be waterproof, just water resistant, for if it gets splashed, where no water would get near the seams." Talk about false advertising! It's "water resistant" (Amazon's ad says "waterproof")as long as the splash doesn't touch the seams? They should be ashamed.

This is my out of box review for the overboard-adventure 90 duffel (with backpack straps):

NOTE: I've had a North Face Base-Camp Medium bag (that is VERY similar) for over 5 years and it has been extremely good to me. I wanted to get a gift for a friend and I thought the north face bag would be great.... but too much $$$ (I'm all about frugality). I love the North Face and will use it as a reference-point to my review.

Out of the box the bag felt a bit thinner than the North Face. Very shiny too, ha. I figure the shine will blemish a bit with time and wear. It's a gift to a girl though, so I think she'll like the shiny. I'm interested in how this bag will hold up to getting tossed around in cars, airplanes, boats, beaches, forests, etc...

Also are a few minor scuffs on it, but I'm not going to complain (unless quality comes into question at a later date at which point I will update the review). My North Face has survived several trips though airport security and is getting pretty banged up which is making it a better-looking bag! Also, with the price I paid, I can deal with a few scuffs that would end up happening anyway.

Right away, I stuffed this bag full of pillows to get a feel for how big it is 90L is BIG. North Face is a little smaller. As far as getting this thing into overhead airplane bins, I don't think it will be a problem so long as it's not stuffed (I like to carry-on).

The shoulder straps were easy to put on. Took a little arranging to keep them from sliding when I picked it up to my shoulders. No big deal. 15 seconds later and they're tight and secured.

Will update as needed. Like it lots thus far

Kelty Mockingbird 28-Liter Pack

Kelty Mockingbird 28- Liter PackI'm a longtime fan of Kelty bags, and I've owned quite a few models, but this isn't one of their best offerings. I get the whole throwback bag movement, and I've long used old USGI and foreign military packs as well. This bag feels cheaply made, the zippers grab, and the lashing system to get the main cover down is annoying due to the fact that it doesn't unbuckle. If this were less money I wouldn't gripe as much, but in this price range there are many other options that are better quality. Bummer because the style and fit is actually ok.

But if you are a serious hiker there are much better options out there. It is small by current standards and really only fits individuals who are small in stature.

Be.ez LE rush En Ville Black Coffee

Be.ez LE rush En Ville Black CoffeeI bought this bag mainly to carry around the iPad and other essential things (wallet, phone, keys, small books, etc.) The iPad fits perfectly in this bag with room to spare. You can really carry a lot of things in this bag. It's almost a perfect man bag! I've had this bag for almost 2 years and the only complaint I have is that the strap has started to unravel due to friction. Other than that, the bag still looks decent with 2 years of daily use/abuse. Highly recommended.

Timbuk2 Beer Candy On-Strap Bottle Opener

Timbuk2 Beer Candy On-Strap Bottle Opener,Univega Blue,SBuilt like a tank, stays put on my Timbuk2 and opens beer. What's not to love? I got the green one, which is spot on the color I see on the screen.

I purchased this item to just add another accessory to my Timbuk2 bag. Though I would imagine that it would work on any bag with a strap. I have had it for a few weeks and used it to open up two beers. In that regard the product works great and has held up nicely.

If you find yourself in need of a bottle opener frequently on the go it's a total buy. I just purchased it to give my black bag a little bit of color.

Exactly as ordered, lightweight bottle opener.

Build quality on this is excellent. Even after opening quite a few bottles, I haven't noticed any damage to it whatsoever. It weighs next to nothing and at times I have forgotten I have the thing. It is small enough that I push it up so it lies between the shoulder pad and the strap on my bag, useful when I'm moving around and don't want it dangling around.

For the price, I don't see why anyone would refuse getting one.

Mobile Edge TPS Backpack 16-Inch PC/17-Inch MacBook Pro

Mobile Edge TPS Backpack 16-Inch PC/17-Inch MacBook ProThat's right, I liked this laptop backpack/case so much that when the first one was stolen last month, I bought an identical replacement. I'm a 66-year old woman who went back to grad school last year and realized that I needed something other than the canvas bookbag we used "back in the day." For one thing, we didn't have laptops forty-five years ago and nobody used a backpack except for camping & hiking. So not only was I looking for something functional, but also something "like the other kids had." But my tastes have changed a little, too, over the years, and I wanted something unique, sophisticated, comfortable. I searched the Internet long & hard before settling on this case (the act of shopping is recreational for me).

This model had everything I wanted: a few pockets for miscellaneous stuff, a dedicated one for discs, good padding in the main compartment, space for a couple of books, too (so good design). And, it was very good-looking: thinner profile than standard backpacks (doesn't knock over people when you squeeze by -or look clunky); made of charcoal herringbone fabric with pink pin-stripes, trimmed with black patent (tasteful, sophisticated, dirt won't show), really comfortable straps and balance. An added hand-carry handle on the top so it can be carried like an attache case was a bonus. The water bottle pocket zips out when needed, but doesn't show when it's not in use (sleek). Not heavy.

All this and priced under $75? Obviously, I snapped it up.

This one and its stolen twin have worn extremely well over 2 years of use -in fact, virtually no signs of wear at all. Not only does it work, I can't count how many compliments I've gotten on it. If someone tried to steal this one, I would hunt him down like a dog.

I bought this backpack because I found that carrying my work laptop in a shoulderbag briefcase was causing me huge shoulder problems. This backback is well designed it holds my 7-lb 17" monitor laptop and I sometimes wonder if the laptop is even in there it's so comfortable! The straps are a bit widely placed, so if you have narrow shoulders it might be hard to use they are also made of typical backpack material and if you are wearing a tank top you might get a bit of rubbing on your shoulders where the strap touches your skin.

The backpack has one large padded pocket that holds your laptop and that has easy access through a top zipper (that goes all the way down the sides), and then another full length pocked under the "flap" that gets held in place by the small silver buckle you can put a few files or papers in here (I wouldn't plan on putting in full file in here). There is then also a smaller pocket in this area for your phone, mp3 player, pens, mouse, wallet. The bottom pocket is easily accessible and holds all of my computer cords.

It also has a water bottle pocket that can be zipped and hidden away. The pocket is a good concept but is too short for most water bottles you need to plan on only carrying a short or small bottle.

The backpack is also cute I get compliments on it every time I use it, and get asked where I got it every time I use it.

This bag is GREAT. I originally bought it to use as a travel bag for a vacation with my family. We were planning on taking a train into NYC and I figured it would be easy to carry with lots of space for a casual week in the city. And I was right. It is surprisingly roomy, and the outer compartment--with mesh--is perfect for clothes after they've been worn. Now that the vacation is over, I use it for my gym bag and again, it is perfect. It is easy to carry, it has an outer pocket for knick knacks (club ids, head phones, keys, etc), and the mesh is great for sweaty clothes after a workout. It is a great deal--I love it.

Light Weight Sling Backpack Sports Bag, Lime Green

Light Weight Sling Backpack Sports Bag, Lime GreenI ordered this bag for my son to carry around his own water bottle and snacks while on our trip to Disney. It is the perfect size without being to bulky. It was large enough to hold a small lunch box, a water bottle, a small (99 cents) first aid box, and an emergency poncho.

The only thing I hate about this bag Is that the side mesh pocket is super narrow. Not just any bottle fits in.

Smart Buy Business Nylon Backpack

Smart Buy Business Nylon BackpackI bought this backpack 4 months ago to replace a briefcase style bag.

I have been very pleased with it. The construction is of sturdy black nylon throughout.

I use the two exterior pockets in the back for small headphones and a paint brush I use for dusting.

The first compartment has pen holders stitched in, so I use it to hold a legal pad holder and other office type things.

The next compartment has two dividers in the bottom third of the bag. One of the dividers is mesh with a zip top, so I use this compartment to hold a cd case, antenna. cords, flash drives and spare disks.

This compartment also has a slot to hold an MP3 player and a rubberized hole for a headphone cord.

The final compartment is sized to fit a 17.3 inch laptop. My Dell fits just fine. The bottom of this compartment is thickly padded to absorb shocks to your laptop.

The bag's hardware is all hard plastic like nylon. This initially worried me, but I have had no problems. Each of the three compartments is double zippered.

You can carry it with the handle on the top (I hang mine on a coat rack at work), you can carry it on one shoulder comfortably, or you can wear it as a normal backpack(it has padding against your back.

My only beef with the bag, is that all the compartment subdivisions I mentioned are in the bottom of the bag, so if you are putting in a lot of stuff, the bottom will become over full, while the top still has room to spare. Putting at least some pockets in the top third of the compartments will solve this, and I plan to do this.

Still, I don't see how you could get a better bag for under $35.00. HP did a good job.

The backpack is very sturdy and well made, it does not stick out like other backpacks yet is has plenty of space and pockets to pack things in and organize your stuff. I personally like the fact that it does not have flashy colors but has a low profile solid black color.

This is a solid buy and it won't set you back to much. No con's about it.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my son and he reports that it's great! Just right for his laptop and protects it well. Six months of constant use (and abuse!) and it doesn't look any different than the day it came out of the box. Very happy with this purchase.

Clik Elite Probody Sport Camera Backpack

Clik Elite CE708GR Probody - Sport GrayBackpack is unreal. I have had it for just over two months now and have used it primarily as a hiking day pack.

Camera bay has room for a full size SLR (lens attached with a hood), batteries, filters and other small items and two spaces for lenses (large super-telephoto lenses may have some trouble fitting) or a flash. It holds everything very securely and nothing bounces around. Padded areas can be moved around as well and the entire compartment can be zipped out and the backpack can be made in to a regular hiking bag. Tripod carry is a little small... but I can see the same compartment doubling as an external shovel storage really well (spade removed) for the winter.

Top (main) compartment has room for a light jacket or sweater (rolled), water bottle, food and a few other small items. Not huge but as big as it needs to be to carry any essential items on a short hike.

Side pocket is pretty small and can't hold much... keys, batteries, SD cards. I don't really use it too much but I also haven't ever thought, "This backpack is great but I really wish this side pocket was bigger".

Top pocket holds licence, credit cards, etc. I would describe it as small sunglasses sized. Holds what I need it to.

Outer pocket holds a water bottle securely.

Backpack is extremely comfortable. Straps are amazing. Sits perfectly once it is on and requires little readjustment as you hike. Space for a bladder, though I don't use one, is a nice option. Had to use the rain cover once and it worked well... seems quality (though I was by no means walking in a monsoon).

Overall... best backpack I have owned. Low profile, compact and well designed; holds everything you need it to with no extra space. Buy it if you are looking for a good technical day pack that also holds your SLR. Looking forward to taking it out in the winter. Strikes me as an easy bag to ski/ride with.

Hope that helps.

Cheers.

I spent about a week comparing bags online trying to find the perfect one. I was looking for something to hold at least my 3 lenses ( 50mm, 10-22mm & 28-135mm ), my body ( 60d ), have a separate section for other things and have a place for a water reservoir. The problem with almost all the bags I looked at was that it was painfully apparent that they were designed to hold cameras and everything else seemed to be an afterthought. (Including comfort)

Fortunately the pro ( and compact ) sport break this mold. I originally bought both the compact and the pro models, but ended up returning the compact because everything fit a bit too tightly for my taste. The Pro Sport is really comfy, and has tons of room for gear. ( I could easily fit another telephoto + prime + flash on top of my current gear ) The lenses and camera are well protected and the amount of non camera space available is more than enough to fit snacks, a couple kindles and even some cold weather gear. If you're looking for a bag that is perfect for a long day excursion, you'd be hard pressed to do better than the Clik Elite Probody sport.

Update:

On a recent ski trip the buckle for the waist strap got shut in a car door and broke. I contacted customer support and they sent me a new buckle for free!

Pros:

1) Very well built. Material, zippers, padding are of the best quality.

2) Rain cover is useful

3) Holds Canon SLR w/ 24-70 mm lens attached, flash and extra 17-55 mm lens

4) The best shoulder straps I ever had. Backpack was very comfortable even after a few hours of walk.

5) Padding in the camera compartment was sufficient to protect the equipment.

6) Second compartment is not big but can easily hold a light rain jacket.

Cons:

1) Except for one small compartment on the top, there is nothing to keep small items, such as wallet, iPod, pen, etc. That's quite disappointing as I was planning to have a combination of a daily pack and a photo backpack.

2) Open side mesh pocket is not suitable for water bottle, as it is way to small to hold anything but a map. This is a big minus for me, as I'm not using water bladder.

3) Mesh pocket on the front is pretty much useless, as it's too small to hold something big and too loose to hold something small.

Other thoughts:

I would prefer mesh pockets on the waist belt.

Although I did appreciate quality and ergonomics, I had to return the backpack as I was looking for more "daily pack features" than CE708 has. I would highly recommend this backpack to anyone looking for something to carry camera gear.

in the little time that i've had this pack i've put it through quite a bit of torture. it's held my D7000, lens, sd card case, bladder, hunting supplies, radio/gps, and i still had room. it's been pulled through thick brush and up through trees while hunting. great comfort from the back and straps.

I spent a while researching various sport oriented camera backpacks and i kept coming back to this one. It has all the features i need for my uses (mainly mountain biking) such as, a separate bladder compartment, enough space for various tools, pump, and a well padded camera compartment. However once i received the backpack, i soon realized the camera compartment in my opinion does not have enough padding. Specifically the flap that gains access to your camera. With my 60D mounted to a 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM Lens, and a Flash and 50mm F/1.8 in the other pockets it is a very tight fit and i believe my body is vulnerable to damage from any bumps, because LCD and eyepiece is bulging the flap out. For a bag that is advertised to fit pro-bodies i think they could have made the camera area bigger and added more padding. Besides that it is a okay backpack, it is comfortable and does what i need it to.

Question Mark School backpack with mini plush, Super Mario

Question Mark School backpack with mini plush, Super MarioI knew this was cheap, and the last couple cheap backpacks I got lasted only a year. However, on the first day my 7 year old took it to school, both zipper handles broke off. Pulling the zipper base makes the sides of the zipper come apart on the side where they're supposed to stay together. This backpack is a day old and already we have to buy a replacement.

Just purchased this for my 7 year old son and he is super ecstatic! Everybody who sees it has nothing but nice things to say. Definitely would recommend
