Dakine Women's 51-Litre EQ Duffel Bag

Dakine Women's 51-Litre EQ Duffel BagI purchased for going to the Jym, it fits everything. you can easily fit your outfit for the day in this bag.

It's a good size bag for a week long trip or going to the gym. I took this on my spring break trip and the bag was very sturdy. However, I wouldn't put a textbook in it though. The strap connection to the bag is plastic instead of metal.

I am very pleased with this bag. Plenty of room for towel, makeup, blow dryer, work clothes, work shoes, gym shoes and shower shoes (Whew)

The canvas feels sturdy. The carrying strap has a nice padding that match the bag. The gym bag has a nice quality feel over all. The shoe compartment holds my tennis shoes and shower shoes with no problem so that's nice. I am very happy with this purchase

(By the way, there are no other pockets/dividers in the bag. I bought pouches to carry soaps and leaky things in and small cases to organize my other things.)

Want Dakine Women's 51-Litre EQ Duffel Bag Discount?

I bought this bag for my daily gym trips. So far, it's held up great! I love Dakine and everything from them seems to last longer than any other brand. The separate side compartment is great for shampoo/conditioner/hair stuff for post-workout showers. I can fit shoes, two outfits and a towl in the main compartment. The color is unique and no one else has it. It is extremely durable and i have seen no show of wear. The arm strap is padded and non-slip, which is GREAT when I'm carrying a lot of stuff. All around, this is the best gym bag I've ever had. Could use more compartments, but that's a personal preference.

Wooky Backpack - purple

Wooky Backpack - purpleMy girls tend to be hard on their backpacks. So, I let them pick out their own this year. When my daughter picked out this one I was worried that it wasn't going to hold up very well....but it has since proved me wrong. Out of all the backpacks that I purchased over the years, this one seems to have lasted the longest. What's better is that my daughter was able to design it the way she wanted to. If she gets bored with the design, she changes it. I purchased washable markers as well so that she can change it up whenever she wants to just by throwing it in the wash. Excellent product!

High Sierra AT605 Carryon On Wheeled Backpack with Removable Day Pack

High Sierra AT605 Carryon On Wheeled Backpack with Removable Day PackPros

I did tons of searches for a wheeled book bag that would be easy to whip around the airport as well as serve as a stylish pack once I arrived to my destination. This AT605 Carry-on is great. Light weight, stylish, and plenty of accessible pockets. Just took it on a trip to Texas and it handled well. The wheels are smooth and quite on multiple surfaces including concrete sidewalks. The main compartment is narrow enough to roll down the aisle of a plane, which was great when it came to exiting the plane quickly. Then day pack easily held my 15" MacBook Pro and some other items. There's a quick clip on the carry-on that allows the day pack to quickly snap on if you do not want to take the time to zip the day pack back on. One feature that was a pleasant surprise was the handle strap on the day pack that allows you to slide the day pack on to the extended handle bar of the carry-on piece so that the day pack is vertically stacked with the carry-on. There are so many options that create the convince of carrying this luggage piece.

Cons

When utilizing the day pack feature, I'm all about security. Therefore, I noticed that the front pockets didn't have 2 zippers like the main compartment; which concerned me a tad. It would be much better if they're were 2 zippers on all compartments so that when the zippers closed, they'd be in an upright position vs. a downward position (increasing the possibility of something falling out). Secondly, the straps were not the most comfortable, but I was cool with it. If the straps were cut to curve with the shoulder and chest more, (such as athlete backpacks) it would be almost be a flawless fit. The mesh beverage holder didn't hold up too well. Although, I may have over stretched it with my canteen, so only use a standard bottle when using the beverage holder.

Overall, it's a great buy if you're like me. I like to have durability, accessories, versatility, and look good all at the same time. Thus far, this is a great product.

I did a lot of research before purchasing new luggage for an upcoming trip and finally settled on this bag. I loved the idea of the detachable backpack and that the suitcase itself actually met carry-on regulations. When the bag arrived, I was impressed with the material it was made with, as well as the design and was really looking forward to using it. The suitcase itself is on the smaller side, which is expected given the dimensions, and like many of the wheeled suitcases, the bars of the handles do take up room inside the suitcase leaving the bottom uneven instead of flat. However, the suitcase itself is very light. I was able to fit what I had hoped in the bag itself, but the backpack was a little trickier. It seems to be built nicely with padded sides that leave it structured even when empty, but the design makes it difficult to fit things in as well as I would have liked. I did have a bit of a tall order though, and managed to squeeze in my 15" HP laptop, my dSLR and extra lens in the medium Crumpler Haven, my laptop charger, and a paperback and a couple of DVDs into the main compartment. That left it totally packed, and meant I could not keep my laptop in the padded case I had bought for it. It also meant there was very little space left in the other smaller compartment, but I did manage to fit my bag of liquids and a few other small items. The outside (tiny) pocket held me phone, credit cards, ipod and headphones, and keys. With the bags packed this way, there was no chance I was zipping the backpack back on to the suitcase, but I didn't mind that all that much as I fully expected to use the strap on the backpack that let's you slip it over the handlebars and rest it on top of the suitcase when not on the plane and that worked fairly well, although it ends up being pretty heavy when dragging it that way.

Although I was finding the set a bit tight on space, the major disappointment came while on my flight out to my destination. At one point I reached down to get something out of the backpack only to find that the handle on the top of the backpack was partially ripped off. This was the first time I had used it I had literally carried the gear to my car, loaded it in, unloaded it at the airport and boarded the plane. In that time, I must have used the handle only a few times and yet it was already ripping. By the time I was part way through my trip, it had ripped off completely and the strap it was attached to on the side where it ripped is now coming loose.

Sadly I will be returning this due to the poor stitching quality. Maybe mine was just a fluke, but obviously handles and straps coming off the first time you use the bag is an indication of a product that isn't built to last or stand the wear and tear of travel. It's unfortunate because otherwise I think the design is nice for someone traveling only a few days at a time or who can pack pretty lightly.

Buy High Sierra AT605 Carryon On Wheeled Backpack with Removable Day Pack Now

PROS Versatile, functional, rolls well, backpack straps comfortable, lots of space

CONS Poor stitching quality on daypack straps, no double-zipper on front of daypack, wheels extend bag size past regulation carry-on allowance

I was really excited about this product, but was disappointed after my first real use. In concept it would solve my troubles flying alone with two check-in bags and a carry-on I could also roll when I got through security. I thought everything was great until I got to the gate and separated the day pack with only my laptop and a few small items to weigh it down, the daypack HANDLE BROKE! The stitching came out of one end, and continued to get worse the rest of the trip.

I returned the product and am trying another High Sierra iteration and see if it hold up better.

Seriously. If you are looking for a small carry on but want a little extra room than your normal carry on. GET THIS. The top part, zips off and turns into a backpack. Why is this is so rad? Because you can fly with a carry on, and be able to carry even MORE than your friends and their carry ons. AND, when you're not on a the plane, and say, stuck on a 12 hour lay over somewhere, you don't have to lug some dumb backpack around. All you have to do is zip it back up to your carry on. I carried this bag all over Panama, and literally walked across the border to Costa Rica with this thing. The wheels are like real wheels, made out of rubber and not some crappy plastic. You can even take the ENTIRE thing and strap it onto you back like a backpage. I did that in a quick bind when I had to catch a boat. Unzipped the back, pulled out the backpack straps and wallah! Best bag ever. Tons of pockets and strap downs. You can't go wrong.

US Military Surplus ACU Large MOLLE Assault Pack BackPack

US Military Surplus ACU Large MOLLE Assault Pack BackPackI ordered this Molle Assault pack with some trepidation. Used? Is that a good idea, I thought? But, the price was reasonable so I went for it. It took a few extra days getting here than originally projected but, it was very much worth the wait. Wow.. This is an EXCEPTIONALLY well made pack. Every strap, every zipper, every buckle is like new.. It has zero tears, stains or missing pieces. It's obvious the company went out of their way to clean and reorganize every inch before shipping it to me. In and out, this is an excellent piece of equipment that quite honestly is worth 2 or 3 times what I paid for it. I couldn't be more pleased and I can only hope that everything I order in the future turns out to be as great as this pack.

This will be perfect for when I go deer hunting. I had a different backpack, but it was not as sturdy or well designed.

Buy US Military Surplus ACU Large MOLLE Assault Pack BackPack Now

I'll start by saying that there was a "snag" in the shipping process & my package was held up at a UPS hub for a few days, now upon discovering this I contacted T.S.G. & they fixed the issue in less than an hour....They even sent me email updates...I got the pack the next day. You guys should hold classes & spread your outstanding customer service ethic!!

Now about the pack itself....I would swear that the pack I received is brand new, it has no wear anywhere to be seen. The seams are solid, the zippers are heavy & it even has that "new pack smell". This is now my go-to day-pack / range bag / weekender & I'm sure it will be able to handle just about anything else I throw at it....Money well spent.

Incredibly solid and versatile. This backpack will take an incredible beating.

Lots of space and lots of room for expansion.

Mine was slightly used but well cleaned out and has plenty of life left.

I have no complaints and will buy another one if I need another rugged backpack.

Some advice:

There are long straps inside a thin compartment along with the back plate and cushion.

The long straps are for tying down your bedroll.

The back plate makes the bag a lot more comfortable as it ads a slight cushion and protects you from pointy things.

Case Logic UNS-116 16-Inch Laptop Sleeve (Dark Gray)

Case Logic UNS-116 16-Inch Laptop SleeveI do love this sleeve. I guess I was thinking it was more like a case (since it has handles) but in fairness, it does say sleeve. It just barely fits my 15.4 inch computer. Snug fit. My only complaint is the front pocket zipper seems very flimsy and is tough to zip closed. I am expecting it to break in the not-so-distant future. The zipper is more like the zipper you would find on a slinky evening dress, not a computer bag. Maybe it is more durable than I think, we will see. Still, the pocket can hold my computer charger, because it is small. Probably wouldn't hold older models of 15.4 computers and chargers. As a sleeve only, very nice.

I am very happy with this product. It fits my 15in Toshiba laptop with a battery pack perfectly. There is no pulling at the seam because of the battery pack that has happened with other types of sleeves. There is padding on the sides and bottom which is nice. I also like that the material is more durable than neoprene and is less likely to rip. I also like the pocket on the front for small cords and a travel mouse. The only draw back is the padding is a little think on the front and back which makes it a little bulking but it still fits in my backpack nicely with other books and things. Over all I am very happy with this product and would recommend it to a friend.

This is a great case for my laptop. Lightweight. I even love the color like a dark charcoal. I just wish there was a way to make these cases just a bit bigger so that you can carry the power cord with them. I end up having to carry a purse big enough to handle the cord. It has just the right amount of padding to protect the laptop and looks great. I would definitely recommend it and would butit again.

The case works well for its intended use. Fits my 15.7" laptop perfectly with no annoying space along the sides of it. Would have preferred two zippers to make it easier to open, but it works fine, so its not a problem!

Everest Luggage Stylish Backpack

Everest Luggage Stylish Backpack, Navy, MediumDont confuse this bag with a sturdy mountain backpack...it aint. It IS however a good lightweight bag for an emergency 72 hour bag.

Not recommended for heavy binders, but good enough for like 5-10LBS with no probs!

This backpack is too small to fit anything more than one textbook and my water bottle (which has to go in the bag, because there is no compartment for it). It could fit more, but the zippers are very bad, and it will not close if they are not perfectly aligned and there is a lot of space for them to close. The front pocket is almost impossible to open and close. I would not buy again.

Timbuk2 Shotwell Backpack

Timbuk2 Shotwell Backpack, Sorbet Green/Algae Green/Gunmetal, MediumI am a fan of Timbuk2 bags and had high hopes for this backpack, but it did not work out. First disappointment was the color: I ordered the purple/barley/potrero color and thought I was getting a grey bag with purple and brown panels (that's how it looked to me in the website photo). But the color "potrero" is not described anywhere and Timbuk2 (much like Patagonia before them) likes to name colors with locations with no descriptions (the "alcatraz" color is apparently sky blue). Usually this is fine with an accompanying photo, but in this case "potrero" is an olive-green-brownish color which was not to my liking. My husband, originally from San Francisco, said, "Must be named after the Potrero Hill district." Not so helpful to me as an eastcoaster.

Secondly, the pocket location on this backpack did not distribute weight well for me. It's a tall backpack which I know will work well for others but was not what I was looking for with my 5'8" frame. If you put anything heavier than a smart pohone in the outside pockets (like keys and a pocket knife and other small, but heavy items) it makes the outside pocket bulge outwards over the power brick compartment. I also felt the shoulder straps were too close together and rubbed my neck wrong. I won't comment on the sewn-on bottle opener except to say: make it removable.

But the material was certainly rugged and the contruction/zippers, etc. were durable and excellent as always with Timbuk2. I would only recommend this pack for people who are comfotable with the narrow shoulder straps, who want a tall pack that carries very little (don't put weight in the outside pockets) and who are looking for a backpack in earthy & purple tones.

I loved the look and feel of this bag because its longer and can fit a lot as well as being very light. The thing is I felt my laptop was not safe in the compartment even with a case. It doesn't have a hammock to keep it away from the bottom of the bag and no protection on the bottom is available. If you have a really heavy duty case than maybe it would be ok, but my merely placing it on the ground I could see how you could dent up your laptop. It also doesn't have as many pockets as other bags offer, and my water bottle wouldn't fit in the side pocket. Some of the pockets don't open completely. I love Timbuk2 but this bag is lacking their normal attention to detail I would probably try another bag unless you have the correct protection.

Buy Timbuk2 Shotwell Backpack Now

I've been commuting into NYC for many years, and have tried every style of bag available (including custom making my own market bag with a zillion pockets). I was on the hunt for a bag that was easy on my shoulders, had tons of orginization, was stylish, inexpensive (less than $100), and didn't leave me looking like a turtle (I'm a slender to average 5'4"). Sounds impossible, right?

Wrong! This backpack is IT. Its cute, lightweight, is evenly distributed on my shoulders, and is incredibly compact. To give you an idea of how ninja this bag is, here's what I carry around with me to and from the city every day:

Cell phone

Wallet

Caribeaner of keys

Camera

Ipod

Kindle with case

Travel mug of coffee

Liter of water

Sunglasses

Small pouch of essentials (tampons, chapstick, business cards, bobby pins, toothpicks, etc)

Notepad, dayplanner, pens

Breakfast and lunch (several tupperware containers)

Change of clothes and a yogitoes towel for after work yoga

And there is STILL room for a sweatshirt and whatever miscellaneous crap I aquire throughout the day. I can seriously stuff this thing until I can barely zip it... And it still looks very sleek and compact. I can go to a nice bar or restaurant after work and not feel like I walked in dressed for camping.

I can't comment on how this bag is as a laptop bag because I don't own a laptop. And if I had to complain about this bag, I would say that the exterior waterbottle pocket is a bit snug for a liter bottle.

Bonus pointsI got this bag as an open box warehouse deal... For only $30. But I would have paid a little more for itthis bag was exactly what I was looking for and I absolutely love it.

I ride my bike or the train to work every day and was looking for a backpack to carry my gear for the commute. I'm really happy with this one and have used it for almost a year now. Timbuk2 is known for their quality and this backpack fits the bill. It's a little taller and more rectangular than square, which gives it a more stream-lined look. It fits everything I need for one day in it and even works well as an overnight bag. The laptop pocket is not well protected, but I keep my laptop in a protective pouch (purchased separately) and that does the trick. I don't carry my laptop every day, so I actually like not having the extra bulk in there. This thing is perfect if you need to carry around:

Lunch for the day

An extra jacket, sweater, shirt

Ipod and charger

Some other random stuff

On weekends I'm able to carry around:

2 changes of clothes

1 pair of shoes

Toiletry bag

Some other random stuff

Looks great and does the job. Based on the quality I expect this to last for years and will definitely consider Timbuk2 products in the future.

Want Timbuk2 Shotwell Backpack Discount?

I got my backpack back when Timbuk2 was having a sale on it, so I got it for $45. I think for this price, it was a great deal as this backpack has proven to be very versatile. I usually use it for school, and it is actually able to carry a great deal. I can fit my laptop, notebooks, books, 32 oz water bottle, food containers, and a sweater in the main large compartment without it looking bulky at all. It has a bottom compartment for the laptop charger, which I find to be a bit small if you just throw the wires in, but if you actually roll up the charger neatly enough, it is definitely enough space. The two zippers in front of the bag is also very useful and is deep enough for smaller things (such as pads, cell phone, ipod, or wallet). My only real complaint is the water bottle holder. It is impossible for me to squeeze my water bottle in (though it is a 32 oz bottle), and I feel that a simple water bottle will also be a bit too snugged. Thus, I use the pocket to carry my keys and phone instead. It is important to note that this backpack is a little bit longer than a typical backpack, though it is not very noticeable when when I wear it. I've read that other owners have complained about this, but it didn't seem to be a big deal when I bought it. What I really love about this backpack is the internal organizer for pens and pencils as it was very well thought out. I used to carry a pencil box to hold all my stuff, but I no longer need it because of this.

To sum it up,

PROS:

Great slim/sleek look

Lots of compartments

Internal organizer

Carabiner

Secret pocket =O

CONS:

Though the material is durable, it is not waterproof

Small water bottle holder

No cushion for the straps or back

Laptop compartment also lacks cushion

Baggallini Luggage Messenger Bag

Baggallini Luggage Messenger Bag, Charcoal, One SizeThis baggallini is great, it's perfect for traveling! I was able to stay organized and keep everything where I needed it. It even allows me to put locks on the zippers on the front to keep out pickpockets while keeping things I need in the back pocket closest to me. I can even carry a bottle of water in it. It's the perfect size and waterproof.

I bought this bag, and I think that I paid too much for a bag that lost their seams in less than one week. It lost their seams in the mesh pocket for the bottle, and in the zipper of the half pocket.

The belt could also be improved so doesn't slip of its adjusted position.

Carrot U-70173 Canvas Backpack

Carrot U-70173 Canvas BackpackThese backpacks are beautiful. If you find a colorway that fits you well, go for it! My only advice is to TAKE NOTICE OF THE DIMENSIONS.

It is completely my own fault, but I did not look at the dimensions. Instead of a "normal" sized backpack, this is a smaller "daytrip" kind of backpack. I plan to use mine for a few items for hiking, etc. so it will still suit my purpose but for anyone that may consider these as bookbags, they do not seem like they will hold big clunky textbooks (even though one or two may fit).

Overall, these are great bags. They are well made, and seem to be of GOOD QUALITY. Worth the price.

dang is super small not for school... is more like a girl backpack... like it didnt meet my requirement i m trying to return it rightnow hopefully goes wells.

I just received the backpack, and I love everything about it except for the most crucial part. The construction! The seams are sewn so poorly. They are uneven, some of the stitching goes way off the path, and where they locked the stich they ran over the spot several times and it looks like chicken scratch. This is not the JansSport stiching that I'm used to.

Maybe I just got a faulty one, so emailed the company this morning about an exchange. I'm still waiting for a response. What I received is worth about $6 in an outdoor Thai market (just to give you a visual) not the $40 plus shipping that I paid.

NC Star First Responder Utility Bag BLK

NC Star First Responder Utility Bag BLKCarry this in the car as a 'Go Bag'. High quality! Can't beat the price! NC Star products are very well made and fairly priced. I also use one of their light mounts for my surefire on my AR.

I was a bit concerned when I purchased this product. I originally wanted Maxpeditions' version of this bag. I really didn't want to spend the extra dough. However, as it turns I am really happy with this bag. I carry my .40 cal, a crank radio, and a bunch of other stuff to get me home or keep me alive. The bag is very spacious and the Molle webbing allows me to attach extra pouches when I go camping. It is holding up very well to the beating I put on it. Better than expected.

The bag is very practical and pockets are generally well laid out, allowing good organization of all everyday carry essentials. It is also good as a range bag. Zippers don't really look that "heavy dutty" buy they have been able to take some overstuffing working smoothly. Stitching seems good to. The only thing I would improve in this is the shoulder strap. It is made of a thick but too flexible nylon which makes it twist constantly making it unconfortable. The integrated shoulder pad lacks any cushion and runs free along the strap,so it is not really much help. If the strap had a cushioned pad and had a stiffer material, it would be 5 star. Still great value.

The only thing I can give this bag credit for is it's comfortability.

Gregory Z65 Backpacking Light Pack

Gregory Z65 Backpacking Light PackGreat, durable and light backpack. I used it on a 1000km hike from Sevile to Santiago de Compostella and it simply delivered. The sidepockets are great to keep an Camera (It fitted perfectly for my Panasonic Lumix TZ7) or a small GPS (I used a Garmin Edge 705). The pack itself is easy to pack, light and yet it still takes on nasty weather or heavy equipment without a problem. The best thing about this pack however is its amazing ability to fit well regardless of it is highly stuffed or just half full. In short, get this pack if you value quality, I certainly have not regretted getting it

This is my favorite bag when I am taking a load less than 40lbs. It is very comfortable and lightweight. This bag does not have all the bells and wistles but saves you several pounds over teh bags that do. You pair this with a light tent and sleeping bag and you can camp with little weight on your back

Justice League Large Rolling Backpack

Justice League Large Rolling BackpackI purchased this for my son as he was starting kindergarten. Within the first week the mesh drink holder tore. After 2 months the wheel cracked and eventually broke off completely. Also the strap got caught on something and detached from the base of the backpack. Hard to believe we couldn't even make it half way through the school year with a 5 year old and this backpack. Cute design but not durable.

not that big, and doesn't stand well on its own, but a great travel bag for a toddler. Definitely a good buy

The print is very good, characters are seen well and are fun for my son. He likes it, that it can be wheeled and also carried as a backpack, but also complains: It is not very stable. If you put a bit of weight in it, it tips forward.

UA Striker Backpack Bags by Under Armour

UA Striker Backpack Bags by Under Armour One Size Fits All Midnight NavyThe backpack is spacious and has several compartments. I bought it for my 10 year old and he loves it. My only concern is that it is made of very lightweight nylon that could rip more easily than a durable canvas.

Granddaughter declared it so! The "best backpack" she ever had (in all of her nearly nine years of age)! For a super soccer player, exemplary student, all around great kid who is really (totally!) into UA, this was the perfect Christmas present.

Therm-a-Rest Gear-View Dry Sack

Therm-a-Rest Gear-View Dry SackLet me open this review by saying I am a trifle biased. I like Therm-a-rest products. As a backpacker and camper, I find them to be some of the best products in my pack. This gear Sack is no exception. It is extremely well constructed, it has the roll-down and lock top that Therm-a-rest does so well, and the addition of the see-through panel makes it easy to identify your gear and grab the right stuff sack. I don't know why everyone doesn't add this to their gear sacks!

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.

Lassig Vintage Cosmo Bag

Lassig Vintage Cosmo Bag, Grey OilclothI love this diaper bag! The color and pattern in not to feminine. The material does not easily soil and is easy to clean if it does. It is a great size for a day out with baby, but it is not a weekend bag. It has plenty of storage space for all of your babies items and your own. I have been using this bag for 6m and not one problem. I would highly recommend this bag
