High Sierra Export Wheeled Travel Pack

High Sierra Export Wheeled Travel PackMy husband and I each got different bags for a 9 month around the world trip in 2004-2005. He got this bag. Today, there are no tears, looks good, wheels work, zippers are great, back pack has hidden compartments and the straps have not torn at the seams. Most importantly, this pack can be carried on any flight as long as you don't go over their weight limits. If you want more space, they have larger ones, but you won't be able to carry them on. Carrying on is important to my husband and I.

I got a Victorinox for that same trip. Mine cost twice as much. I was forced to check it a number of times because the wheels stuck out and it wouldn't squish into their carry-on measuring thing, despite it saying on the tag that it was airline approved when I purchased it. The zippers broke and the backpack handles tore off.

After that trip, I got a High Sierra bag too. My husband's original bag has been to over 40 countries and many domestic trips since 2004-2005 and it's still totally fine. We purchased one of these for a friend of ours going on a round-the-world honeymoon recently.

I took this thing through Europe with me, and I have to admit that it was convenient. My sole reason for purchasing this travel pack was to have the option to throw it on my shoulders to free up my hands for other things. To that extent, this was a great success. But be warned...the straps on this bag leave much to be desired. They were uncomfortable and literally dug into my skin. A typical backpack has more cushion in the straps, which was very surprising considering the capacity of this pack.

Outside of the discomfort, this is a very good bag. It seems to be built well, has plenty of room, and makes traveling a little more convenient.

The travel pack arrived promptly and apparently in good condition. My problem is that is had a very strong odor. I can't describe it other than it's maybe a chemical smell that is emitted from the plastic? I am very sensistive to odors and couldn't imagine all my son's clothes smelling like this bag while we were on vacation. I can't say if this was an anomaly. I do know that I once bought a cheap set of luggage from a department store and one of the 5 pieces ended up having the same odor. I thought it was because I had left something wet in it and tried everything to get the odor out, dousing it with Febreze, to no avail. Since my experience showed that the odor would not eventually dissipate, I thought it best to return the travel pack.

Got this for high school student with lots of heavy books. It is sturdy and all the features ( handle, zippers, wheels ) are well made. The school backpacks usually only ( sometimes barely ) last a year but this one should last longer. The Pack would also be great as carry on luggage and would fit in an overhead compartment, but not under a seat.

Ogio Squadron RSS II Laptop/Tablet Backpack

Ogio Squadron RSS II Laptop/Tablet BackpackPurchased this for my son to start college. Was looking for something with high capacity, laptop protection, and durability. He has been using it about a month now and the bag is performing quite well on all levels. There are a few loose threads on the should straps--nothing serious, but frankly I expect very high quality in relation to the cost of this backpack. He is quite pleased with the bag and to have your 18 year old tell you that it is a great backpack and he really appreciates it is a testimony in and of itself. He has said that the extra laptop protection on this bag is really helpful and the laptop travels with him everyday to class. The bag also provides a surprising amount of room for books, materials, and his various other electronics, i.e. phone, external hard drive, etc. and is not bulky. I would definitely recommend this to others without hesitation. Pricey but over the long run it is a reasonable cost for what you are getting.

The only reason why I'm giving this bag a 4 star instead of a 5 is because it's just to heavy. The bag itself weighs a ton. But other wise I love it I can store anything I want in it. Like today I was able to shove 2 six packs in it, my iPad, a jacket, extra set of gloves, and bunch of other random stuff it's well worth the price if your riding!!!!!!

Your first impression? Holy crap this thing is heavy!

This is a quality backpack, and even though it is heavy, it is very comfortable to wear and use. My only real con is for me the pockets could have been placed and sized a bit better for my daily use. I will say I do like this backpack and I am really glad I got it.

Want Ogio Squadron RSS II Laptop/Tablet Backpack Discount?

I was looking at a few... "unique" bags. I like to stand out a bit, but not in the sense of being "loud". It came down between this Ogio, Oakley's Kitchen Sink, and a Logitech bag.

My absolute "must" criteria was top-tiered laptop protection. This was going to be a bag for college, and it needs to survive a lot of use (not abuse). With that said, it's unnecessary to mention it needs to have room for books. Not to mention, as a gamer, I needed room for my mouse, mousepad, and charger. I would like to point out that I use a fairly pricey computer, and I would say it may be over-kill if you use a basic $500 laptop. I mean, it's great and all, but the laptop compartment may not hold a thicker profile laptop (non-ultrabooks) very well. This is also directed at you alienware owners.... you may want to choose a different route (sadly). You MAY be able to squeeze the M14 in it though.

This Ogio won in the end with it's amazing "RSS" compartment. It holds my 15.4" macbook VERY snugly, but definitely has room for a 15.6". I think it's relevant to addthis will absolutely NOT hold more than a 15.6". If you have a 16", it will not zip up.

Outside of the RSS, it is fantastic quality. The zippers are great, the ballistic nylon is extremely thick, the straps are stout (and cool looking), and if you use the top handle on your bags, you're in for a treat with it's memory foam-ish feel. There's a pocket for everything I have. I also geocache, and I have a full-blown first aid kit in this thing, 4 flashlights, battery cargo, bug sprays, compass....etc and none of this stuff is in the main compartment, the top compartment, nor the front organizer compartment. Some other bags I've used, when the pocket are full of dense or hard cases, it doesn't feel right and interferes with other compartments, but not this one.

Anyway, it's a great bag, and I would definitely pay up to $150 for this bag. If it ever wears out, I will be buying this one again without hesitation.

Wizards of Waverly Place - Magic Feathers 16" Large Backpack Featuring Selena Gomez

Wizards of Waverly Place - Magic Feathers 16' Large Backpack Featuring Selena GomezBought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter. It's even larger than I expected which is good for packing for an overnight or a trip, but it became very heavy for her to carry through the airports. Pack light. :) She's a Selena Gomez fan though, so she loves it. Fur around the small side pockets is a nice touch. Good purchase.

Stephen Joseph Girls 2-6x Quilted Backpack Girl Monkey

Stephen Joseph Girls 2-6x Quilted Backpack Girl Monkey,Hot Pink/Cloud Blue,One SizeI bought this for my daughters first day of school. It is very well made and is just the right size for a kindergartener. I took it and had her name stitched into it so now it's perfect!

I like the products because the material is quilted and seems pretty durable. It was a gift so I will not know much more about the quality of it, but it seemed like a great little bag when we received it.

This was a gift for my granddaughter. It was a little bit bigger than I expected but she will grow into it. Seems to be good quality.

Gift for my twin toddlers. They LOVE wearing their backpacks.

The outside is cotton quilted material but the inside does have some type of plastic (almost like a water resistant) coating and it's not cotton. Not a big deal for me but if you're looking for 100% cotton, this is not it.

I also find that the strings to close the backpack are too long. If I cut them and tie it I'm afraid it might fray. The quality is good but I can already see some of the thread coming apart so the quality really could be better. These could be used for preschool for simple items like clothes, diapers, change of shoes but I would not use this for a Kindergarten backpack. Great for kids who just like to wear backpacks out and about or for short trips.

Cuteness factor is over the top and my girls love them.

Want Stephen Joseph Girls 2-6x Quilted Backpack Girl Monkey Discount?

I was looking for a small bag for my 14 month old daughter that I could leave with her when I dropped her off at church childcare or whenever she was in someone else's care. This bag is SUPER cute and the colors are very vibrant. It seems to have plenty of room inside for what I wanted it for (a couple diapers, wipes, change of clothes, food/drink, etc.). The reviews I read of other designs before I bought this one did mention the poor quality of the bags but I took my chances anyway. Unfortunately, this particular one I received had a small area on the top stitching where the filling underneath was showing and the thread was frayed and unraveling. I'm returning it and taking my chances on the replacement because I really do want this bag to work! Hoping the next one is in good shape so I can get her name embroidered on it. I'll update my review when I get the new bag.

Targus Checkpoint-Friendly Corporate Traveler Backpack for 15.4 Inch Laptops CUCT02B (Black)

Targus Checkpoint-Friendly Corporate Traveler Backpack for 15.4 Inch Laptops CUCT02BI bought this case to replace a similar one from Targus that I bought about 10 years ago and for which the zippers finally wore out. This case is similar to my previous one but is less rugged. In particular, the fabric seems thinner and the bottom of the case lacks the reinforcing hard plastic bumpers that my old one had.

On the plus side, this model is lightweight and fits my small-to-medium frame better than my old one did. (The straps on my old one seemed designed for a beefier person than me; they were set so wide that they tended to fall off my shoulders unless I cinched them up tightly.) And like my old one, this case has the internal air cushions that cradle the laptop and give excellent impact protection. My old case safely transported by venerable Dell across continents for many years; I hope this model endures so well.

On the down side, I wish this case had more interior pockets. While it has plenty of raw space for things like chargers, spare batteries, calculators, and office items, there are few ways to organize stuff effectively. I wound up buying some vinyl zipper bags to segregate items within the accessory pocket.

All in all, a nice case ... and the zip-through feature works great. On a recent trip through Atlanta and Miami International, TSA seemed knowledgeable about the zip-through feature and didn't balk at all, which saved me a lot of time and aggravation going through security.

I travel Monday through Thursday every week, and going through security and protecting my back are both concerns. This backpack has been perfect for keeping me comfortable, organized, and whizzing through security, since I just unzip the middle and send it on through. The only annoying thing is that just because I'm ready to go through doesn't mean the people struggling in front of me in line are!

This is the 2nd Targus backpack I have bought for my husband. I did a lot of research on various brands. He loves this one and it's reasonably priced. The style is simple but very functional. Very good quality and great for a lap top. I'd reccomend this to anyone in the middle age group as the style is subtle but yet handsome.

Had backpack for month; several domestic and one major international trip. Zip-thru work well in US checkpoints but not at international airports (London, Amsterdam, Brussels and Munich; must pull laptop). Not as many compartments as other backpacks, but looks more professional when attending business meetings (all black, minimal zippers). Getting files in and out is a little more difficult than typical laptop briefcase. Also note that when packed will not fit under some International coach seats (due to entertainment systems controls) or regional jets seas. Fits easily into the overhead. Easy to carry on your back and also on rollaway suitcase.

Overall, very good product; would recommend to others who travel or like a backpack vs. briefcase style.

Medium Molle Assault Pack USMC Hiking Backpack Tan

Medium Molle Assault Pack USMC Hiking Backpack TanThis pack is very solid! In length and width, it is about the same size as the USMC Assault Pack. It has MOLLE's PALS webbing all over the pack so I can strap on any attachments that use MOLLE. There are three zipper compartments; the main one, the one on the front, and a smaller pouch at the very top. Inside the main compartment, there is a spot to hold a Camel Bak bladder. The strap buckles themselves are pretty rugged. I tried bending one of the ends on the male buckle and it feels very solid. The straps also come with the Velcro attachment to secure the extra strap when you roll it up (so you don't need tape to wrap them). Not sure how the zipper slider and zipper teeth will hold up. As a Marine, we are always in a hurry and tend to use the zipper rather harshly. I did a few quick zips and it feels pretty solid. Also, the whole pack is lined with double stitching. The actual material for the backpack is awesome! The coyote color is also very tactical looking. As far as the quality of materials compared to the USMC Assault Pack, I give it maybe 1 out of 10 stars lower in quality. This pack is very solid.

Remember that this pack is not a main pack. It is the size of a regular day pack, or comparable to the USMC Assault Pack.

I give this product a 9/10 and not 10/10 only because I am comparing it to the USMC Assault Pack the quality of the materials don't seem as strong and for Marines, rugged quality that can sustain a beating is essential. None-the-less, this is still a very solid pack and would bring on deployment!

CalPak Power Pak

CalPak Power PakVery comfy backpack with well organized sections. Great value.

I recently bought a Dell Studio 17. I bought this backpack because my new laptop wouldn't fit in my old backpack. It says 18" and my Dell is 17" so one would think it would fit. It just barely (and I mean barely!) fits in there. I have to twist and shake and push to get it in there to be able to zip it up!

THE NORTH FACE Women's Vault Daypack PREMIERE PURPLEI got this backpack for school and I was worried that I wouldn't receive it on time, but I got it in the mail extremely fast!

Hello Kitty "Gingham Gorgeous" Rolling Backpack

Hello Kitty Glitter White and Pink Checker Rolling BackpackPerfect for a little girl. This is not a heavy duty backpack! The extending handle and wheel combo is great if this is going to be used for heavier loads.

My 7 year olds request for this year was for a rolling hello kitty backpack, so when I found this one I was very happy. This is a full size backpack , seems well made,and because it does have the handle and rollers it isn't light, I wouldn't get this for a very small child. The backpack rolled at least 10 miles around the house before it made it to school. It was a big hit.

My daughter was intent on finding a rolling hello kitty backpack. after a frenzied trip to target and several stores at the mall, we finally found this backpack. she was very happy with it, and still is. however the side mesh pockets have both ripped with little wear. the ONLY thing she has put in them is a water bottle. and even then its only been a handful of time. your pockets are guaranteed to rip, i havent found a solution to how to fix them yet, but i am definitely thinking about it. for the price we paid, the thing should have some decently sewed in pockets. other than that, its cute, functional, and stands up great on it own.

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

Timbuk2 "Q" Laptop Backpack

Timbuk2 'Q' Laptop Backpack, Rev Red/Cement/Gunmetal, MediumI've had the backpack for about 2-3 weeks now and am having to return it:

The laptop sleeve is a great idea but the bag itself is not working out for college use.

Pros:

1. Great laptop sleeve! Best I've seen in a backpack. It's lined in a very soft, stitched/padded, microfiber-type material and the opening is on the righthand side when wearing it (so it's easy to pull out laptop without removing entire backpack).

Also, there's "buffer" space between the bottom of the bag and the laptop sleeve.

2. Lightweight

3. Chest straps are removable (so they don't hang there all the time)

4. Pretty comfortable

5. Side handle near the laptop sleeve comes in... handy

Cons:

1. Thin material (but that's probably why it's lightweight too. E.G. Corners and edges of books sticking through bottom of bag)

2. Questionable quality (stitches are coming apart in a few places already)

3. No place for umbrella or water bottle

4. Power adapter compartment doesn't work well for Apple chargers, though it would be good for PC ones

5. I have no idea why it comes with a metal bottle opener permanently attached to the shoulder strap... I'm assuming it's a bottle opener but either way, it makes some noise when setting it down, especially on a metal desk leg

Ultimately, I'm returning it because it's too small and I doubt it would hold up.

With one book, folder, notebook and Macbook Air with charger (with a few other small things), I can barely fit a 27oz water bottle inside main compartment (where I definitely wouldn't want it to leak) and I can't fit an umbrella ANYWHERE. There is nowhere to stow it on the outside of the bag.

When there's a book in the main compartment, it's shape is distinctly visible through the bottom material. Setting the bag down like this would wear a hole through it pretty quickly.

So, it's a great light-duty bag if you want to take a laptop to the coffee shop with a couple magazines or a small book.

It's not the best to take to campus for a full day of school.

This 2011 version of the Q has fixed the issues of the original. The pad at the bottom of the laptop compartment has been replaced with a hammock that the computer rests on. Then there's a space between that and the base of the backpack, which is better than a cushion anyway. Really great design!

I have a heavy Macbook Pro 15.4", and I'm a wimpy girl. I was really looking for something that would distribute the weight correctly, and also something that didn't weigh a lot itself. Originally I'd planned on getting one of the Swissgear bags, but found out thru reviews that they were really heavy even empty. These Timbuk2's have good reviews, and I watched all the videos on their site to get an idea how how big each version was. This one is plenty big! Really glad I didn't go for the HAL. Note that I'm not a student, so I don't have to haul around books. I've got my Nook and a reader's journal, the power cords, my iPod, other chargers, my calendar, and a few other things, and the bag feels like it's empty still. Not even expanded. The best part of all is that when it's up on my back, it no longer feels heavy.

There are a surprising number of pockets. I did find that the charger fits even better in one of the interior ones, with the extended power cord along with it. The bottle opener is kind of ridiculous, but it will work really well as a place to keep my keys.

BTW, the computer compartment is large. My 15+" Mac slides in and out easily. I like the side entry. Means a little bit less lifting of my weighty computer.

I got the purple and blue one. The color is much deeper than pictured, a gorgeous combination of deep purple and deep blue. Really happy with this purchase.

Buy Timbuk2 "Q" Laptop Backpack Now

I purchased this as my everyday carry around pack (I walk a mile to school one way). Perfect for a book or three and a laptop. I usually carry a standard sized binder (9"x12"), 2-3 average sized books (5"x7" or less) along with my laptop and power cord. Keeps my laptop secure with minimal jostling even when the rest of the bag is empty. The power cord pocket just fits my standard size cord and the front compartment is large enough to hold a magazine and standard utensils. Items in front compartment may get a bit damp in rain if the bag is completely full but laptop is always dry. Swing around access makes it easy to pull laptop out and also give access to a small pocket perfect for storing keys and wallet in.

I purchased this backpack to carry my computer and a few papers when traveling by air. It's narrow enough to fit under the aisle seat of 757s, unlike my previous Tumi bag. It looks reasonably professional and worked pretty well for close to 18 months. However, the zippers are light duty. Even though I was gentle with this bag the zipper on the much-used computer sleeve eventually ripped.

I checked the Timbuk2 web page and was encouraged by the headline on the warranty page: "Timbuk2 products have a lifetime guarantee; we stand behind the legendary quality and craftsmanship of all our products." Frankly, that was more than I would have expected from a fairly inexpensive bag.

But once I got into the process I was disappointed. They don't pay for the bag to be shipped to them or returned. There is also a line that says, "For repairs to stitching or zippers we recommend visiting your local dry cleaner or tailor."

I sent the following note to customer service: "The zipper for the computer compartment broke despite the fact that I have been gentle with it. Rather than having me waste money sending the bag back and forth to you, how about reimbursing me for a repair locally?"

Here's the reply I got: "Unfortunately, we haven't worked out a system to get a you refund for a repair. Something like that usually cost $10 to $15. We could get you a store credit for the cost of the repair, but unfortunately, we don't have a way to refund your credit card without a charge being incurred." I can forgive the sloppy English, but the message is not a great brand builder.

So I went to the local "zipper hospital," where the owner was none-too-impressed with the quality of the zipper. She showed me how it was weak and set up to fail. She offered to close off the broken part (the first 3 inches or so), which would give me a smaller opening to slide the computer into, but would still be workable. That would be $16. For $25 she could repair the zipper. I wasn't enthusiastic repairing something that would just break again, however.

Finally we settled on a new heavy duty zipper for $42; the kind of zipper the bag should have come with in the first place. Although I feel stupid paying almost half the price of a new bag for the repair it did seem like the best alternative.

Working in the wireless industry, I tend to carry a LOT of gadgets. Usually, backpacks of this size are heavy before I get all my goods in there. After seeing my bosses Q Backpack, I knew I wanted one. I carry this to work everyday and here is a list of the items I carry daily:

Samsung Chromebook

Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tablet

Microvision SHOWWX+

Tekkeon MP3450

Cradlepoint CTR-35

8-10 power and multimedia cables

Microsoft Touch Arc Mouse

Bose IE2 headphones

Bose BT2 headset

Oakley Diesel Glasses in hard case

miscellaneous pens, business cards, allergy medicine, etc.

With all of my junk loaded in, the pack has more room if needed and is significantly lighter than most backpacks. The shoulder straps are comfortable and very flexible at the top due to the unique connection. The back padding keeps you comfortable without making you sweat. The side handle and easy access laptop pocket are perfect for someone who is in and out of offices, cars and airplanes all day. I haven't found a need for the built-in bottle opener yet, but summer is just around the corner.

My last computer bag was a Tumi Tech and it lasted five years, at a cost of $250. Let's see how long my Timuk2 lasts!

Bottom line, this is a very well designed bag with tons of pockets and features, while remaining very light. I highly recommend this bag.

Dakine Girls Isis Pack

DAKINE Isis PackI LOVE the color and texture of the fabric of this backpack (Mulberry). I was pleased to open the package and find the backpack even better than it looked in the picture. I also find the pockets and design just what I need. My laptop just fits in the laptop pocket, maybe a little tight, but not too bad. I am excited to use this backpack for grad school in the fall.

I bought the Mulberry Dakine Girls Isis Pack specifically as my primary bag for school. I have a 15.6" laptop that fits just perfectly into the padded section of the pack. One thing that I love about this bag is that in the front pocket of the bag there are designated padded spaces to keep your phone/ipod/camera in. I think that was a wonderful idea. This bag is made well and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! As far as the shipping goes, I ordered it at noon Monday and received it by 4 p.m. the very next day! WOW! Now that is what I call service!

Purchasing the Isis backpack by Dakine is the best choice I've ever made. I've been looking everywhere for a fully functional bag, that is big enough for my laptop and text books yet not looking like I'm walking around with a huge turtle shell on my back. I bought the houndstooth style, and I love how the design is very subtle. Also, I love the unique design inside the lining of this bag. There are a lot of compartments to store my pens, note cards, keys, glasses, etc. Most importantly, there is a lot of room for my laptop and college text books. Okay so most importantly is the bag is super comfy and makes carrying by books a lot easier. There are just so many things I love about this bag, I'm really happy I picked out this oneit's perfect.

Kelty Red Cloud 90 Internal Frame Backpack

Kelty Red Cloud 90 M/L Internal Frame BackpackI spent many days traveling to all the different outdoor retailers looking at larger backpacks, I had my choices down to 3. The Kelty Red Cloud 90, REI Mars 85, and the Gregory Baltoro 75. I narrowed that to the Kelty and the Gregory. For suspension cant beat the Gregory, but for the price I would expect that. The Kelty had a excellent suspension as well, I tried it in the store loaded for about an hour walking around and was surprised at the comfort level.

Ultimately you need to buy what fits you best, and no one manufacturer fits all so try them all and see what fits you, but if you are considering the Kelty red cloud, I would give it positive review and recommend it highly.

As a side note, I wanted to have some extra buckles for field repair, just in case, I called service, they sent them to me for free.

Hard to find any company these days that still remember customer service.

This Backpack is the behemoth beast of the kelty line of expedition packs dwarfed only by the red cloud 110. This bag easily fits most of the basic necessities i.e.(sleeping bag, clothes, food, cookware, hygiene, bladder, tent all on the inside of the pack. it is a little heavy on its own coming in at a little over six pounds so its not you ultralight style pack by any means, but if you dont mind weight and want plenty of room this is your pack. Im not a very big guy at around six feet and 150 160 lbs. and this pack still fits great the torso adjust system is excellent and the adjustments make for a very comfortable hike even with alot of weight. PLan on taking this pack on a cross country trip in may so ill update after to let you know how it stood up to non stop use

Purchased this pack for a Grand Canyon trip as my old pack had seen better days. I purchased the pack based on reviews, price and capacity. The pack itself is well built and has plenty of options to suit most longer distance trips 5-10 days. Of course, what one would put in the pack is going to be based on where the trip is, climate, experience, money etc. For me, the pack carries what I need and does it well. I will be carrying up to 70 lbs total for hopefully short durations on my trip. This pack handles the weight fairly well for the price. As others have mentioned, the so-called bottle holders on the side are not fit to hold bottles. They do hold plenty of smaller quick access items. I have not noticed buckle slippage that others report. However, I do not mind making adjustments as the day progresses and plan on it actually to maintain comfort. Bending the frame to fit is a bit of a chore but can be a rewarding "custom" fit. Yes, this pack requires bending (if needed) of the frame stays to accomodate various body profiles. The instructions are very basic but they'll give you the basic concept. I have noticed the waist belt padding will slip up leaving the belt itself digging a bit on my hips. An easy adjustment and I am good to go but some additional stitching would remedy this. I would like the bottom to be of a sturdier (water proof) material as I can see abrasion on the bottom of the pack over time wearing the material out or creating holes. All in all, A good affordable pack that should last me a long time and get me through my various adventures.

I looked at all the larger backpacks 60 to 110 cheaper to the expensive in all the name brands. In the end i purchased the kelty and i would not trade it in now. No other pack compares to the kelty for the price. Would have to pay another 100.00 to get anything of equal quality. The buckles zippers stitching function excellent. Noticeably smoother and more functional than any other pack in this price range. Combined it with a Coleman roll top dry bag 16" X 43" which inserted as a liner inside the pack perfectly. Kept everything perfectly dry for a Minnesota boundary waters vacation. If you are on the fence between this bag or another brand, definitely get the kelty you will not be disappointed.

I was very sceptical about this pack when I bought it because of itd price. I have herd all this hype about Osprey bags, but I figured I'd give the Kelty a try because it fit pretty well in the store. I have taken this back on quite a few trips now and it has been GREAT! No stress tears, all the seams are fine, and the bag has tons of space and is still very light and incredibly comfortable. I would recommend this bag to anyone. I had to trash my previous ATI pack after a 2-month backpacking trip to New Zealand. I have taken my new Kelty out for a few total weeks of backcountry camping and it has been 100X better than my old ATI. Get this bag, you won't regret it.

Voodoo Tactical Improved Matrix Pack Backpack MOLLE - Hydration Compatible - 15-9032 Black

Voodoo Tactical Improved Matrix Pack Backpack MOLLE - Hydration Compatible - 15-9032 BlackI really like the amount of zippered pockets this bag has and the layout of them, but I have had two of them and they have both ripped at the top corners. I travel on airlines alot for my job and carry a laptop and lots of accessories in the pockets and may be i was a little ahrd on it, but for a $100+ backpack quoted as military grade, it should have held up better in my opinion. If you travel light this bag may work well for you, but if you tend to load it up and work it hard you may want to look elsewhere.

I have had this pack for 2 years used it a lot and like the overall pack but the stitching is coming apart i think i will try a different pack design.

Within 6 months of light to moderate use as a college backpack the strap has already ripped 1" away from the pack. At $115 that is totally unacceptable!!! It looks as if there is no double stitching anywhere on the bag, which for the price is completely unacceptable. You'd be better off paying $30 for a cheap Chinese made version. I knew I should have gone with Spec-Ops Brand but sadly now I have to fight with voodoo tactical customer service to replace a ruined piece of crap for a new piece of crap. In the end I am still stuck with crap. If it says Voodoo Tactical consider it hostile to your wallet!

BUILT Cargo Travel Organizer

BUILT Cargo Travel OrganizerOk, so I got this today and while opening the box I was thinking about all the junk I could fit in it. About 2 minutes later my 9 year old daughter stole it from me and declared that it would be "perfect" for her Nintendo DS, games, charger, and extra stylus'!!! She put all her stuff in it and I was surprised how great the fit was. She was kind enough to let me borrow it for a minute to see how I liked it. It fits everything I'll need to take on our upcoming vacation (phone and ipod chargers, usb cords, etc.) Perhaps the never ending search for the perfect game carrying case has finally ended. The only problem now is I have to order another one and wait for it to get here! At least I got a "thanks, mom" out of it, lol.

While I found the pockets awkward, I still enjoyed being able to store my ipod, headphones, id/money, etc. in one place. During my flight I only had to grab one thing from my carry on and had everything I needed. Also easy to just zip up without have put everything back into it's place when other passengers need to get up. Very glad I purchased this for my last trip.

This Built case is not my first one, but this color "Micro Dot" is. I have always like built, the title says it all "It is Built to last". The case however was not to my liking with the four slits in it they call pockets for holding things. They stretch of course, but it is ackward to put things in the pockets because there is no way to really close the pockets just the outside zipper, and when you oopen it you have to be a little careful or your things will end up on the ground.

I picked this up for an overseas move, where I knew I would have to carry all my "electronic junk". It is great I just kept stuffing cords, batteries, ipods, etc. in. If you travel at all you need this.

Besides being charming because of the colorful dots (I bought the whole pack of Micro Dot stuff for my notebook), it's really useful for carrying cables and other notebook related things. I loved it.

Voodoo Tactical Improved Matrix Pack Backpack MOLLE - Hydration Compatible - 15-9032 Coyote Brown /

Voodoo Tactical Improved Matrix Pack Backpack MOLLE - Hydration Compatible - 15-9032 Coyote Brown / TanThis is a nice pack. I use it every day. It is heavy duty, durable, and well worth the money. I only have one problem with it; the laptop pocket is unevenly sewed in there causing my computer to fit sort of uncomfortable when it is on my back, but other than that I would recommend it.
