Hello Kitty "I Love Kitty Quilted Pink" Backpack
It's super cute and black, which is a very good thing if you ever plan to put your pack down anywhere other than pristine surfaces as much of Kitty's merchandise is white or pink.In all, I like it.

I usually replace my son's backpack 2-3 times in a school year. It has been months and back pack still looks new. It is durable, spacious, & my 6 y/o says the padding is soft & confortable.The only thing is the backpack size is bigger than most typical backpacks.This backpack is as exactly as depicted. The colors are nice, arms are padded and fits really well for a boy size 10/12.We ordered this for my five year old after going through two other backpacks this year. It is very sturdy and roomy. And he loves it.

Maxpedition Condor-II Backpack
The pack is a top loader, so you can cramp in your gear until its full, stomp on the top, then cram some more.
The bottom of the pack has lash points so you can attach a bed roll or sleeping bag. I used a couple of nylon straps and attached a 32 degree sleeping bag to the bottom.
The pack is covered with PALS (ladder system) to attach MOLLE or ALICE equipment all over it. I have the Maxpedition map and GPS case attached to the small outside pouch. While on a hiking trip, I can lay the pack on the ground, open the map case, get the GPS out, drink from the water bladder and never have to open the main compartments of the pack.
The compression straps work well for keeping the pack slim, and for lashing a tri-pod stool to the side of the pack.
I see no reason why this pack can not be used for an over night pack or even a 2 day pack. The main compartment is big enough to carry extra clothing, one man tent, MREs, hammock, rain poncho, poncho liner, tent stakes. While the other compartments are big enough to carry a first aid kit, flashlights, GPS, topo maps, map compass, water filter,, and other odds and ends.
The water bladder compartment is big enough to fit a 2 quart bladder and have plenty of room left over.
The shoulder straps have plenty of padding.
Overall, this is a well built, well designed pack that I highly recommend.From a durability standpoint, Maxpedition got this pack right. I'm sure others will whole-heartedly agree that these back packs were made with being indestructible in mind. I just want to give a brief rundown of the important items pack owners should know.
Zippers never caught on excess material and seemed to open and close with absolutely no problems. The fabric is ridiculously stiff and heavy duty, I don't see a hole opening up in a long time. The buckles didn't exactly instill confidence as they seemed a bit thin for my liking. The shoulder straps are made of the same material as the rest of the bag. This is good for keeping it from fraying out on you after a few days of rucking around. However, the reason why I gave this pack 3 stars is because of this very feature. Due to the stiffness of the fabric, the straps will not conform to your shoulders/chest. I typically lug around a much larger Gregory Baltoro 70 loaded up with around 60 lbs with no problems. The Condor II on the other hand, is only loaded with 25 lbs of gear and was simply unbearable for any length of time. Two totally different packs I know, just wanted to make a point of the comfort levels of the shoulder straps. These bad boys cut, pinch and chafe your shoulders and the upper part of your chest. The waist belt which usually offloads the weight from your shoulders didn't help much.
Take note, back packs seem to be priced according to comfort, durability and materials used. The Condor II is all about durability, materials seem to be in the middle and comfort is nonexistent. My suggestion is this, if you're willing to shell out $130-$140 and are using this pack regularly it would behoove you to look at a pack with an internal frame and more comfortable shoulder straps. Forego the almost unnecessary indestructibleness of this pack, attach your own molle strips and you'll be happy. Or (if you can find a way), remove the straps from the Condor II, attach something more comfortable, add a stiff interior frame and you're set. I was actually thinking of doing this, but I need a solid color bag and Gregory straps come in gray.
This backpack is designed to be indestruble plain and simple, if that's what you're looking for and comfort can take a back seat you'll be in heaven. If you need something that is bomb proof AND comfortable, prepare to pay more for it. I decided that I wanted something more comfortable and could stand to lose the molle attachment points and some durability.

My situation involves commuting about thirty five miles into Chicago by train for graduate school and other responsibilities. I have to carry my laptop computer, text books, notebooks, and other small items. I wanted to combine this role with EDC and BOB roles. In particular, I wanted a bag that carries what I need to get back home in case of a disaster, attack, whatever.I bought this bag instead of the Vulture 2 because it has more molle straps on the back. I affixed the following Maxpedition items:
* 6 x 9 padded pouch, affixed to left side, carries substantial first aid supplies
* 10 x 4 bottle holder, affixed to right side, carries soda and snacks
* Monkey admin pouch, affixed to bottom back pocket, EDC role
* Map pack, affixed to top back pocket, maps and compass
I added the 3 liter water bladder as well. After adding all of my three-day items, the bag weighs about twelve pounds (guessing, no scale on hand). It is a little bit of weight but not as much as one would think if I spread out all the gear on a table. The computer and books together weigh quite a lot more than my pack and gear. Because I bought this Condor instead of a Vulture, the aspect ratio is inverted. It is wider than long by a ratio of around 1.5 width to 1 height.
Beside the positive of the attachment possibilities, this pack is highly durable, water resistant, and not easily damaged. This bag can easily meet most outdoor and urban challenges.
You can essentially pimp out this bag to carry everything you can possibly need on a trip. It can easily be converted into a three day bag. It is awesome for outdoor roles, especially with the map case, first aid pouch, and water bladder. There are straps on the bottom of the bag as well. It is something overlooked by a lot of reviewers. While this strap probably is insufficient to hold tent or sleeping bag gear (and this is definitely not a good bag for serious hiking/camping), it can easily hold a tripod, blanket, or any other item commonly taken on one day hikes. I have seen some molle camera bags which I imagine would make this an excellent outdoor photography pack.

I purchased this pack to take with me, basically everywhere. I wanted to put together a modular pack system that held items that could get me through a night or a month. I knew that the pack was not large, but since I was putting together a modular system, I thought it would be about the right size. The main pack carries quite a bit of gear. I do have a few pouches attached to the outside of the pack, which allows me to quickly take what I need if I do not need the entire pack. I have a first aid pouch. A water bottle pouch (where I keep a stainless steel bottle with nested stainless steel cup & my eating flatware , and an utility pouch (where I keep my fire starting kit).In the main pack I Have 8 x 10 tarp, two heavy duty reflective survival blankets, roll of plastic sheeting attached to bottom of pack with the packs bed roll loops), file, knife sharpener, two knives, Kukri machete, carpenters ax (ax and machete attach to molly loops), hand saw, fishing pole W/reel, fishing kit, sling shot, water filter, stainless steel backpacking cook kit, flash light, whistle, 300' of para cord, two rolls of tarred line, compass, three bandannas, two 50 gal trash bags, wetfire tender, candle lantern w/3 candles. one #5 & one #10 sealine dry bags, shammy towel, hand & dish soap, heat sheet, 12 cotton candles, needle nose vice grips,.22 pistol, 20 snares, 12 carabiners, three bungee cords, cable ties, hydration bladder, two days of food and a change of clothes. Add that with the first aid, water bottle, & fire kit pouches and I have a great system & weighs about 32 pounds (with no water in bladder). As you can see this pack holds quite a bit. I keep hearing people say that this is a "DAY" pack. I can tell you that if it is set up right it can be more than a day pack.
The pack is well made and is comfortable, for people with normal or short torso's. If you have a long torso the waist belt will not take the weight of the pack off of your shoulders and makes the pack unbearable after a short time (if you are over 6'tall, this may not be the pack you want). The pack has molly loops all over it making it easy to attach most pouches & accessories. The pack is not water proof, you do get some moisture making its way through the zippers (reason for the 4 stars), but it is a minimal amount. The nylon sheds water well and so far my gear has stayed dry. (I always put a dry bag in at the top of the bag to help keep the moisture from the zippers away from the rest of the gear).
The longest trip I have done with this set up is 6 days, I added a ultra light sleeping bag, and another set of cloths to the pack for that trip. It so far I am pleased with the performance of this pack. Over all this pack is a great base for my system.
UPDATE:
I Have given this pack to the wife and she loves it, and I have to admit that is seems to fit her better than it did me. It was for the most part comfortable, but the longer I had it the less I liked the fit. It seems that maybe 5'10" is at the tall end of this bag. I still stand behind the construction, it is a great pack. This is a great pack. It's not as large as I'd hoped, but that's my fault for not reading the description a bit more closely. Though not terribly large, this pack is tough as nails. I clearly over stuff it, but it holds together without protest. The zippers are very sturdy, and the stitching seems to be holding up no problem. I also own the Colossus Versipack, and between the two, I haul all my gear back & forth to West Africa (Boots included). They definitely live up to the name "Hard-Use Gear."

Targus Drifter II Backpack Designed for 17-Inch Laptop TSB239US (Black/Gray)
I really liked my previous backpack which was a Rosewill RBG-1701BP. After more than a year of solid use it started fraying around the shoulder straps and worse developed a hole in the bottom corner of the main compartment. I would have just rebought the Rosewill, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to be available anymore. So started the search for a replacement. Basically it was going to be a comparison against the Rosewill. Out of all the backpacks I considered the Targus Drifter II measured the best. Here is what was important to me and how the Targus measured up.
I'm 6'3" and want the bottom of the pack to ride more on my lower back, not the middle of my back so I wanted something at least 21". The Targus meets the length requirement, however when fully loaded up it didn't ride as comfortable as the Rosewill. Basically the weight road differently on my lower back than the Rosewill. I believe the reason is because of 2 things that Rosewill did a little different in their design. One is the way Rosewill layed out their back pads with the side pads going the length of the backpack. The Targus has shoulder pads with a big pad across the bottom. The second and more important reason is Rosewill adds structure stiffness within the back part of the backpack which causes the weight to be more evenly distributed along the side pads which again went along the entire length of the backpack. It also built a stiffness into the front of the backpack. This is also really nice when standing the backpack up. The Rosewill stands on its own. The Targus will fall over if nothing is inside to keep it up. This would be my first suggestion to Targus for feature improvement. By the way the Rosewill stiffness added no noticable weight to its backpack.
From a pocket perspective, they are pretty much comparable. Both provide extra padding for the laptop which I like although the laptop pocket is padded a tad better on the Rosewill. Targus does have one extra purse like pocket that I really like because of its convenience right at the top of the pack that Rosewill didn't have. A definite point for the Targus side.
The shoulder straps on the Rosewill were thicker with more padding which made them more comfortable than the Targus shoulder straps, however that is one area that also started fraying on the Rosewill. The Targus straps aren't that bad and over time I've become use to them.
Last obviously durability was important. I definitely didn't want a flimsy nylon bag. The materials used by Targus looks and feels durable. I like the water resistant bottom. Something that was missing from the Rosewill. So far I've been happy with how its holding up for the couple of months I've had it. We'll see how it wears over time.
** This is an update after using the backpack for a few months. The lack of stiffness in the bag has turned out to be a bigger inconvenience than I thought it would be. The bag folds over on itself with out a laptop in it which is annoying enough I would actually downgrade it a star. I would now not just recommend it as an improvement for me, but a requirement. The bag really needs some sort of rib support along the length of the back. Outside of that the bag is still wearing good. This backpack will be my preferred (over my trusty attache) business travel bag with or without my need for a computer. Why, because you can easily fit a lot of "stuff" in it and carry it without inducing back strain.
I am a backpacker and have hiked extensively in the back country as well as climbed several 14,000 ft. peaks. I provide this as background since I am very familiar with backpacks.
The Targus Drifter, first and foremost, is sturdy yet lightweight, comparable to any great backpack. And the Drifter has many areas for storage, including water or drink bottles (those you would buy while traveling not the large bottles used in the back country). It also has a great ergonomically designed shoulder strap and an optional "lifting" strap (for use when having to remove your backpack for security, etc.)
My plan is to use this immediately as an alternative to my attache which does not hold my computer securely. Until now, I have had to use a separate bag for my computer and this has been getting more difficult with increasing airline restrictions on carry-on bags.
My 17 inch computer fits snugly and securely in the pack due to a padded compartment.
Great for students, those who travel extensively and need their laptop or iPad, and for those who want to wander into the wilderness with their computer.

I am currently going to school and also need a laptop bag... This backpack is AMAZING the only thing it does not have is a spot for the kitchen sink and an mp3 player pouch on the strap. It has several pockets and a hidden one inside the lower back cushion. Airflow is GREAT and while it does take some getting used to you only feel a portion of the weight!!! I would buy this thing for much more than i did!!! If you need to carry books and a laptop this is the bag! if you need just the laptop and accessories than look elsewhere. If you need more i would go with the XL. Currently I have 3 textbooks, 3 notebooks, A Wacom tablet (in it's case), a 15.6" laptop, several accessories, a change of clothes and a hoodie in mine and it's still comfortable!!! The only time i notice the weight is when getting on/off my bike or when putting on/removing the backpack!!!So this backpack was my second choice as I already used the first one, Swiss Gear Ibex 17-Inch Notebook Backpack.I thought this backpack was great as it has lots of storage area. It has cushions at the bottom of the backpack to protects everything inside from water, or any liquid that can enter from the bottom of the Targus Drifter II Backpack Designed for 17-Inch Laptop. The skin on the outside is water-resistant, 2 or even 4 water bottle holder, 2 outside and 2 zipper covered. (This can hold other stuff like AC Power cables as it is very roomy. The strap cushion is stuffed but not as much as I would like. There is enough room to hold multiple of items, books, laptop, another holder inside to keep ipad or even another laptop inside the main area. The top zipper area inside's that is under the handle is microfiber or similar material enforced.
Also the height of this backpack is similar to a double-edge sword. The height makes it harder to open and close. Also keeps it unbalanced and the tops of the backpack flops over.
The cons of this backpack are
The cushion inside for the laptop aren't as thick as I would like unlike the Swiss Gear Ibex 17-Inch notebook Backpack.
The "Designed for 17-Inch Laptop" or "Room to Fit All" does not fit all, my 15.3-Inch HP wiggles as the strap inside does not reach the inside of the sticky material for the strap.
The cushion for the backpack, the area where you would wear for this backpack, isn't as thick as you would like. Which also is a problem because the adjust clips always readjust itself when I would wear this backpack.
The backpack zippers are also a problem, sometime it would get jammed because the backpack is too tall so you would actually need to unzip it straight or stay aligned with the pathway.
This backpack also does not stay up straight with or without a spine (Laptop/ or any books inside). First day I left it on my desk, the backpack flipped and rolled over... My laptop was inside and would not start for a few hours. Safely for the laptop
isn't as well as the Swiss Gear Ibex 17-Inch Notebook Backpack.
I'm going to repurchase the Swiss Gear Ibex 17-Inch Notebook Backpack, as I had to return it once. Still was one of the best backpack I have ever used as a student, or even for technology.
Swiss Gear Ibex 17-Inch Notebook Backpack: 15 x 9.8 x 18.9 inches ; 3.8 pounds
Targus Drifter II Backpack Designed for 17-Inch Laptop: 14.6 x 7.9 x 20.1 inches ; 2.8 pounds

I am a computer professional and I have carried a laptop to and from work every day for the past 15 years. In addition I have traveled for work and my work is demanding enough that I even take my laptop on vacation. I have used more laptop bags than I can remember. Due to my constant use; I am pretty hard on them and so I have become pretty picky as well. I liked the design of this bag online. It arrived yesterday and I took it out of the plastic tried one of the zippers only to find that it caught on the material as soon and it moved from one angle to another. Thinking it was just that zipper, I tried another...after testing four of the zippers each catching there was no way I was keeping this bag. I would have a broken zipper or torn material exposing the compartment in a matter of weeks if not days. I would say that the issue is either a design flaw for a manufacturing defect, either way I wasn't going to waste my hard earned money. It is going back today!Wednesday, April 30, 2014

I bought this for my 5 year old niece, because she is starting kindergarden this fall. This backpack is super cute, it has some sparkle, the Hello Kitty is fuzzy, and it's a good size. The only thing that I'm concerned about is the quality. When I recieved it in the mail, there were lot's of hanging strings that I had to cut off, so I hope it doesn't fall apart. Nonetheless, my niece loved it, and hopefully it'll last her a few years.Monday, February 24, 2014

Fujitsu Diplomat Carrying Case - Top-loading - Ballistic Nylon
I would have paid the 88.00 for this bag and would have been satisfied with the purchase.
Nice bag, compact but with several compartments for the computer, books, magazines....pens and pencils, CDs and other junk.
This bag will not hold even a 15.4 inch computer. I am currently using it for my 14 inch dell latitude but will be taking a 15.4 inch HP in it on trips. A 15.4 wont fit in the dedicated computer section but it will fit in the middle compartment and if you treat your bag the way you should...then computer safety in this middle compartment should be fine.
I believe codi makes a diplomat bag for 17 inch computers and I might buy one at regular retail price...but now Im looking for something in leather......lol
Its a decent smart looking bag with plenty of storage for all your doo dads.
I bought this bag to get away from schoolkid back packs.....I want something more adult and business looking and this bag is a very good bag for that.
