TAC Force WebTac Utility Backpack

TAC Force WebTac Utility Backpack, OD GreenThe TAC Force Web Tac Utility Backpack differed enough from the product description/features & photos enough to have me lower the score.

I needed a tactical/combat level backpack, unfortunately the differences make it not suitable for this task.

Overall it appears to be a good product it just depends on individual needs.

Also this is not the best price for this item or similar items (Which usually includes the hydration bladder). I just needed it quickly & Amazon is reliable for that so I paid a little more for this type of product.

OK lets start with the how it differs from the photo/description & more specific info on some mentioned. Which is not all bad.

.. Removable/hidden padded Internal Frame in a hidden pocket in the Main Compartment behind the laptop pocket.

.. Has an internal padded laptop pocket 9.5x11x1.5 in main compartment.

.. Overall outer dimensions (Including exterior pouches.) 14Wx19Hx7.5D

.. Has 4 covered hydration tube / earbud / wire vents.

.. Has a large external flat hidden pocket between back panel and pack.

.. Main Compartment 10x19x5

.. The mesh pocket 9x5x1 is in main compartment has a single zipper.

.. Top Exterior Compartment 10x7x2.5

.. Inside the Top Exterior Compartment t has 4 elastic loops large enough for pistol mags.

.. Bottom Exterior Compartment 10x11x2.5

.. Inside the Bottom Exterior Compartment has a full velcro loop panel backing.

.. Inside the Bottom Exterior Compartment removable velcro stationary organizer with padded cell phone pocket & an additional padded pocket.

.. Inside the Bottom Exterior Compartment has integral key latch/loop.

.. Two Side Exterior Compartments 8x5x2

.. Two Side Exterior Open Pockets 8x5x0.1 between Side Exterior Compartments & Main Compartment.

.. All compartments/pockets have grommet drainage holes except the sides.

.. MOLLE/PAL on bottom of pack too.

.. All straps have cinches.

.. No Removable Padded Waist Belt but instead a 1 inch wide Attached Flat Waist Belt (Like a car seat belt.) but has stow away spot still.

.. No buckle/straps above side pouches.

.. No upper shoulder strap adjustment.

.. No metal pulls on zipper but just para cord.

.. Shoulder & waist belt no longer reinforced.

So these are the reasons I do not like the pack.

NSingle Stitching in some critical spots.

NNo Removable Padded Waist Belt but instead a 1 inch wide Attached Flat Waist Belt (Like a car seat belt.)

NNo buckle/straps above side pouches.

NShoulder & waist belt no longer reinforced.

NTwo Side Exterior Open Pockets 8x5x0.1 between Side Exterior Compartments & Main Compartment instead of open bottoms to carry long handle tools (That is what the buckle/straps above the side pouches where for.) like a shovel, ax, etc.

It appears the original design was for tactical/combat purpose but now it became more a hybrid suitable for a Good Day, School, Hiking Pack w/ Removable Internal Frame but not Combat.

This is a great pack, large enough to stow enough gear for a short camping trip, this is what I plan on using my pack for, the only down fall I see for this pack is the smaller sized zippers on the smaller pockets, the compact version of this pack has large zippers all the way around.

Lassig City Shopper Bag

Lassig Casual City Shopper Diaper Bag Colorpatch ,petrolOk let's just start by saying I have had ALOT of diaper bags! I have three boys and have went through probably 15 with the first two. I wish I would have bought this first! I would have saved lots of money.

Pros: very roomy! It has the hooks that attach to the stroller. LOTS of pockets!

The color is also beautiful!

Cons: known for me

I wish they made more matching accessories!

Highly recommend

Excellent quality and very practical fabric holds up well in the rain, is very attractive and has numerous pockets and zippers.

Swissgear 15.4" Burgundy Notebook Slimcase

Swissgear 15.4' Burgundy Notebook SlimcaseI just got a new MacBook Pro 13-inch 2.66GHz for work (from work) that I wanted to keep in pristine condition. I didn't want anything dinging, denting, scratching, or scuffing the nice brushed metal exterior of the machine.

My current Victorinox messenger bag (kinda like this Victorinox WT Wide Messenger) was too big for such a small computer. The two or three 15", plastic-cased (and legitimately scuffable) PC laptops I'd previously carried in it fit fine even while carrying books or files files for work and school.

But now, my needs at work had shifted and my constant drives toward a minimalist lifestyle have dictated something new (yes, I see the irony in needing something more in order to have less). The Victorinox just tried to hold too much--the two disorganized exterior pockets on the flap had started to become catch-alls for crap that I really didn't need to lug around (e.g., useless pens, crumpled sticky notes, old receipts and food wrappers).

I decided I needed a laptop case that was

* small (but still versatile) -A simple sleeve wouldn't allow me to carry a blocky power adapter to and from work.

* portable -Again, a sleeve wouldn't let me hang it on my shoulder and still carry a coffee cup and use my iPhone at the same time.

* protective -I didn't want dings, dents, scuffs, or scratches, whether those were from something hitting through the bag or from the simple act of sliding the MacBook in with something else in the bag.

So, I asked work about getting a new bag (or protective sleeve or case), and they gave me the Sherpa (this product). Here's my run-thru:

* Size (PASS):

The exterior pocket is small enough to fit my minimalist sensibilities--the power cord and some pens fit, but it's size doesn't tempt me to stuff anything I don't need in it.

* Portability (PASS):

Even while small, still has both a shoulder strap and a pair of handles on either side of the zipper on the top. I can hang it on it's designated hook at home and it doesn't feel unwieldy or out of place on the wall.

* Protection (MODERATE FAIL):

The case is well padded, true. And the exterior is a wonderfully sturdy fabric, just what I'd want for the outside of a case or bag.

But the one problem, though (and the one that still gives me the most pause) is the interior lining of the bag.

It's nylon, not a soft fabric like fleece, velvet, or even neoprene--instead it's a scratchy-sounding, cheap-feeling nylon, like what you would imagine on any backpack or duffel bag. It doesn't inspire confidence in me that it won't slightly scratch or tarnish the finish on the MacBook.

A soft fabric would cradle the gadget and polish it slightly every time I slid it in or out, not rub it raw or make that horrible scratchy noise anytime something rubbed against it. A soft fabric would have some give so that, if I wasn't paying attention and tossed a pen or a badge or (heaven forbid!) my keys in there with the metal MacBook, it would cushion the contents instead of grinding them against each other.

--

Essentially, what I'm saying is this:

If you've got gadget that you don't care about scuffing (or have a sleeve to protect one you do), then this is a great minimalist case.

Though, if you want to protect the outside of your laptop, you might want to get a sleeve, too.

Phineas and Ferb Large Backpack - Large 16" Phineas and Ferb Blue Backpack

Phineas and Ferb Large Backpack - Large 16' Phineas and Ferb Blue BackpackBought for my son, it lasted about 2 months before the zipper gave out. Spend the extra money and get a better back-pack. My son loves Phineas and Ferb, that's why I got it in the first place. Plus it was only like $20...however the pack is made kind of cheap. It would be ok for toting toys for a trip in the car or for light use...but school books are too heavy and the pack could not handle the weight.

el producto llego a tiempo, son de muy buena calidad, igual a las fotos, lo recomiendo a toda la comunidad

Osprey Packs Flare Daypack

Osprey Packs Flare DaypackI have been buying Osprey packs for over 15 years. Currently, I have about 6. I have never had an issue, EVER. They go into the washing machine and come out like new. From a hydration pack to a 65 liter Atmos, and the Halo, Flare, Focus, and Quantum in between. I love them all.

The Flare is perfect as a day bag. Recently, I packed it with a pair of sneakers an extra coat and my iPad w/chargers and headphones, and had room for snacks, papers, gloves and a knit hat, with room to spare.

My only complaint is that they don't wear out, so I can't justify buying more!

I have tried North Face and the external mesh pocket ripped, as well as cheaper bags that don't hold up.

I cannot say more about the quality of Osprey bags. They are very comfortable with many ways to adjust the fit. Check Osprey's website for sizing. If you don't like your purchase, I'll take it!

This backpack has taken a lot of abuse over the past couple of months. I load my backpack far beyond normal and is never mollycoddled. It has held up admirably. The backpack itself is pretty light, but the construction is top notch. No complaints at all.

Buy Osprey Packs Flare Daypack Now

Absolutely fantastic backpack. Amazing quality. The additional internal pockets are great for keeping your papers and books organized while on the move. Exterior pouches are perfect for the items you want to carry there: cell phone, bottle of water, etc. Zipper pull stirngs make for easy opening and closing. Multiple carrying handles allow you to get a firm grip no matter what angle you grab it from. The color is great and thankfully not as bright as it looks in the pictures. Highly recommended!!

great bag for vacation. Wore the bag for a week and never really felt like it was on. Holds everything you could need for a day trip.

Kelty Women's Redtail 1600 Backpack

Kelty Women's Redtail 1600 Backpack(Black  )This bag is designed with fashion, not function, in mind. The side pockets are angled in a cool looking way, but unfortunately, you cannot carry even a small water bottle in one of these pockets because the angling causes the bottle to tilt & fall out repeatedly. The pockets inside are also angled to look cool, causing stuff to fall all over inside the bag. Also, the bag lacks the nice inside mesh pocket of other redtail backpacks (I've had several). Finally, there is a non-removable plastic panel inside the back of the bag that causes it to creak and squeak constantly as you walk. Very annoying, and loud enough for everyone around to hear. I would get a different, more basic redtail if I had the money, and would donate this one to the Salvation Army.

I was looking for a backpack which I could use on a daily basis to commute from the gym to work to school on public transportation. I needed something that could hold a lot of heavy things, including a laptop, without hurting my back. I also wanted a bag that I could take hiking or use for travel. This bag meets all of my requirements! It had more than enough space for me to fit school books, work papers and gym stuff, and it carries well on my back without being overly bulky. There are enough pockets to keep my belongings organized, and the lumbar and chest straps help with heavy loads. I see it being perfect for travel and hiking as well. I also appreciate that the straps are narrow enough for my frame I'm 5'1". Highly recommended!

I got this bag in Mauve. The bag looks nice and I like the organization. But it really squeaks loud. It was so embarassing and annoying. I've repositioning it on the shoulder or changing the length, nothing really stop it from squeaking. Very disappointed that I have to return it.

I use this pack for day hikes, travel and school (I am a grad student). Overall it is a good pack. The straps are comfortable, and the back ventilation works pretty well. The size is a bit big for day hikes, but perfect for carrying a few textbooks, a laptop, my lunch... As far as the annoying squeak, in my experience it went away after a month or 2 of regular use, and even when it was present, I was the only one who noticed it. The only problem with the pack are the mesh side pockets, which are too small to hold a water bottle. I use the compression straps to hold mine in, but I wish I didn't have to. The pack is however compatible with a bladder system, so when I'm hiking, that's how I hydrate.

Want Kelty Women's Redtail 1600 Backpack Discount?

Yes, it has style but it works too. It fits great and doesn't squeak and my water bottle has not come close to falling out. Plenty of room; plenty of pockets and straps. I had to return the 1800 because it just didn't fit. I'm very happy with my 1600.

Duluth Pack Large Deluxe Daypack

Duluth Pack Large Deluxe Daypack Navy - One SizeBeautiful construction. I have the waxed canvas version. I use it just as an everyday commuter bag. Size wise it is probably around 25-30 litres.

The difference between this & the standard seems to be the leather on the front pocket, as well as leather shoulder straps & a leather bottom.

The only other thing to be aware of is that it has no frame. Seems obvious being a canvas rucksack but you need to pack it carefully to avoid sharp things poking your back.

That said, it is a great daypack & I hope it'll last forever.

Case Logic NOXF-114 Pavonis 14 to 15-Inch Laptop Tote (Black)

Case Logic NOXF-114 Pavonis 14 to 15-Inch Laptop Tote(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM)

This video tour of the Pavonis laptop tote shows the interior and exterior, construction, and demonstrates the fit for both 15" and 13.5" MacBooks. 4+ stars for 13.5 inch MacBooks (what I use it for) but only 3stars for 15" MacBook Pro.

-Debbie Lee Wesselmann

The Pavonis F114 reminds me of Fernando Lamas, an SNL character played by Billy Crystal who used "you look marvelous" for a standard greeting and whose motto was "it's better to look good than to feel good." The bag does look marvelous, no question about it and it does look a lot better than the average laptop bag. It's also a pain to use because it has a major design flaw.

THE BAD

It's probably fair to start with the bad part because if the the shoulder strap being always in the way whenever trying to get things in or out of the bag is a problem then there's not need to waste time reading about specs or the other good features.

The problem is that the wide, non-removable shoulder strap does not use D-rings or any kind of ring to connect itself to the bag's body. It always stands up on top of the bag's opening and that makes it very difficult to get it out of the way when trying to get things in and out. You must constantly move it out of the way and it keeps coming back annoying. Amazon's photos should give you a pretty good ideas of what to expect.

THE GOODS

The well-protected and generously padded inner compartment can easily host a 14-15" laptop. The main compartment has 2 large partitions, one for the laptop and the second with several zippered mesh pockets, detachable little purses, pen holders and so on. Two large side pockets off which one is zippered allow for even more versatility. And, when a little more room is needed, the zippered extension option allows for the bag to expand an extra 1.5" thicker, accordion-style.

Listing some of the features/specs:

Shoulder-bag only

9 pockets/partitions by my count

4 zippered compartments

Expandable to up to 1.5" thicker

Good padding for a laptop/netbook/tablet

Security strap lets you anchor the bag around a stool leg (watch for dogs if at an outdoor cafe)

16 x 2.5 x 13.8" external dimensions

13 x 1.1 x 9.1" internal dimensions

Made in China

I recognize the bag's versatility many pockets and the ability to expand it. I also liked the quality of materials and the generously wide shoulder strap. And the bag does look pretty.

MY RATING

In spite of all the good things I mentioned above, I hesitate between a one star (I hate it) and a two stars (I don't like it) rating because the shoulder strap interference with just about everything you do with the bag is THAT annoying. Sadly, the opposite of what seems to be the Case Logic motto: "Life, Simplified." applies in this case. The Pavonis is likely to complicate your life but it will probably make you look good. Which saves it the 'one star' rating.

KF Baby Diaper Bag Insert Organizer - 12 x 6.4 x 8 inch, Black

KF Baby Diaper Bag Insert Organizer - 12 x 6.4 x 8 inch, BlackThis is such a great organizer! It is large enough to fit most hobo and travel bags. I love how you can put it into practically any regular bag and you are a chic Momma! I ordered this because I didn't want to buy the cheesy diaper bag. Now I can stylishly carry all my babies/my needs!

I hate the silly prints on regular diaper bags. If Im the one carrying it, make it look like an adult bag!

Anyway, I got this insert to fit into a nice 'adult' longchamp bag and it is perfect! The pockets are great and it fits perfectly with room on the side for my diaper pad.

Love this insert. I spent a hefty amount on several large handbags before having babies so instead of buying a separate diaper bag I wanted to make use of what I had. This insert fit perfectly and I love the different sized compartments...each serves a purpose. I didn't give 5 stars only because the material wasn't as great (tote bag material) but it gets the job done I suppose.

How did I live without this for so long? I immediately pinged all my mama friends and alerted them that they don't have to be doomed to wearing the same diaper bag every day. This is a brilliant invention. It fits perfectly in my Longchamp with nice pockets for diapers, wipes, toys, extra clothes, and my wallet. I stick a changing pad along the side and can easily slide it in and out. I recommend it for anyone who wants handbag diversity during baby-toting time!

I wanted a more stylish diaper bag and saw this online so decided to get it. It's a simple organizer that will make finding my baby's necessities easier. Fit great into a Steve Madden handbag with open top. My Mom liked it so much she ordered one for her and a friend just so they could have their regular purses more organized! Great way to make your own diaper bag (just need to get a diaper changing pad now).

J World New York Sunrise

JWorld Campus Sunrise 18' Rolling Backpack in Love Letter BlackI ordered this backpack on-line for my 9 year old daughter. She had a rolling backpack for school previous to this one that I had bought at target and I was looking for one with some of the same features.

This is a roomy backpack/bag and has enough pockets to seperate books, folders, lunch, etc.

The downfall is that the side pockets are not deep enough to hold a waterbottle.

It is sewn on a slant and the waterbottle falls out when the bag is being rolled.

Also, there are not any loops on the bag to hang the little charms and such that little girls like to do.

It rolls well and is pretty.

Another nice feature is that the bottom is plastic and will not wear through or get wet rubbing on the ground.

They should do something about the design of the outter pockets.

The price was reasonable.

I had just purchased a Gap rolling backpack for my 6 year old son for school when my 8 year old daughter decided that having a rolling backpack would be much easier on her. I found this one on amazon.com and she liked the pink circle pattern. I have to tell you that this backpack is WAY better quality than my son's Gap backpack. This J World rolling backpack is the perfect size for Kindergarten college! I could see traveling with it really easily too. The wheels are super sturdy and the handle is easy to use and doesn't get the kids fingers caught in it like the Gap one does.

Both my children wanted rolling backpacks for school this fall. Just received two of the J World rolling backpacks this afternoon. The quality of the zippers and material is very low. I doubt this pack would last a month let alone a school year. But the worst part the wheels do not roll. They stick so you will likely need to drag this pack to school; which might work in the dead of winter when the sidewalks are iced over. I could understand one wheel sticking on one of the packs lemons happen; but three out of the 4 wheels barely budge when you try move them by hand. Will be sending both packs back.

Texsport Cameron Daypack

Texsport Cameron DaypackI doubt this daypack is 65L and when I compared it to packs I looked at in stores it appears to be about 40L. It's quality is about the same as the $25-30 packs I've seen in mass merchant stores. I checked the manufacture's (Texsport) website (and other sites) and all list the capacity as approx 3900cuin. I purchased this one as a returned item and it's worth the $20 I paid for it as a standard size lightweight pack. The shoulder straps have little padding and the tie down straps are unnecessary for a pack this size. I would be returning it if I paid full price. I modified the pack slightly to be more practical by removing the whimpy chest strap and zipper tabs to make it a more practical as a travel pack.

I recommend that Amazon verify the advertised capacity and remove this review if I am in error. A picture of the shoulder straps would be helpful to determine the amount of padding provided.

Carrot Au-12981 Native American Inspired Canvas Backpack

Carrot Au-12981 Native American Inspired Canvas BackpackAlthough I did check the dimensions before I bought, this backpack is a smaller than I thought it would be. I'm a college student, so it fits a few notebooks/folders and my essentials like wallet and water bottle but it will take some getting used to after previously having a larger backpack. I have a 13" MacBook and it JUST fits... if it hadn't fit I would have returned it.

The style, however, is really cute. The pocket in front is vibrant and colorful, the canvas material has a great texture and color, and the straps are sturdy and stay in place. I ordered the color called "Olive (Tan)" and I would describe it as a cross between brown and green it's a great color.

Overall, like the other review said, this backpack is aesthetically perfect but the size is a bit of a letdown if you have a lot of things to carry. Buy it for the look as opposed to the usage.

Ordered this since it was the only backpack that seemed aesthetically perfect. Received it today and it couldn't even fit my laptop, let alone all of my school supplies. Material and make seems sturdy, but I won't really be able to test that. Sending it back and resuming my search for the perfect backpack.

Stephen Joseph Boys 2-7 Quilted Backpack Monkey

Stephen Joseph Boys Quilted Monkey Backpack, Ocean Blue, One SizeWe use this cute pack for our toddler's daycare. It fits a blanket or two and a sheet. The side zipper is perfect for her chap stick or something small.

The quilted composition is easy to clean.

We chose this because it was small enough for our 2 year old to carry herself. Its nice.

We recommend it for small items.

This is the cutest backpack ever. It's a very good size. It holds my son's lunch for preschool, plus his PE shorts. I don't like the straps though. They fall off his shoulders or dig into his neck. There is no zipper closure, it's just a magnet. The material is soft and my son loves this backpack.

Case Logic VNCi-116 Value 16-Inch Laptop Backpack(Black)

Case Logic VNCi-116 Value 16-Inch Laptop Backpack(Black)Although this Case Logic VNCi-116 Value 16-Inch Laptop Briefcase has a "Value" word in its name, everything about it exudes high quality.

This is the the kind of case that can zipper-open three sides of its rectangular case shape; therefore it can easily accommodate my 17.3-inch HP DV7 notebook computer, even though it is meant for computers under 16 inches.

There is a large zippered side pocket that you can use to store the computer's AC adapter and cord, plus a few small items.

The case is well-padded all around to protect against bumps and is very light.

I highly recommend this 16-inch case if you want high quality and versatility but don't want to pay too much for it.

Comparison to another 16-inch case:

The Case Logic VNCi-116 design is in contrast to Case Logic VNA-216 16-Inch Laptop Attache (Black), where the zipper openning is merely ONE side of its rectangular shape. The VNA-216 will accommodate my 15.6-inch HP ProBook 5420s, but the fit is too snug for an effortless removal and storage of the computer. Because of the tight fit of this case, I would be very careful when taking a computer out of the case and when putting it in, for fear of the zippers scraping against the case edges of the computer. I deem the VNA-216 suitable only for computers smaller than 14 inches. You can check my review on this case on its web page at Amazon.com.

This bag is perfect for someone who just needs a basic laptop bag. My 16-inch laptop fits perectly in my bag and the other pouches offer plenty of additional space for batteries, power chords, and other accessories. The zippers slide smoothly and the bag strap is srong and durable when carrying the bag. The cost is very good as well, so this bag is highly recommended to even the casual laptop user.

Buy Case Logic VNCi-116 Value 16-Inch Laptop Backpack(Black) Now

If you want light, compact, case this is the best for the price. Great for carrying, light, very easy to place the laptop (Studio XPS 16), good zippers, exact space in extra pockets for ac adapter, battery a few cds.

If you expect a heavy duty case, this is not for you. Need to be careful, the protections are thin, so don't expect the bag to protect from a hard hit.

I ordered this Caselogic laptop case based on my prior experiences with Caselogic products and the price. I have had several other Caselogic cases over the years and have always been extremely pleased with the quality. Since I don't travel with my laptop that often, I didn't want to invest a lot of money on a case. I just wanted something to carry it safely on those few occasions when I do take it along on a trip. What I like about this case is that it is light weight and has extra compartments for storage, and it looks great. However, I was very disappointed with the lack of padding in the laptop compartment, and it only had one strap to hold the laptop in place, which was not centered. While my 15.6" Dell fits fine, it does wiggle around a little since it's only held in place by one velcro strap. The listing for the item said the laptop compartment was "heavily padded". This is not true. The padding is extremely thin. While the case will serve its purpose and give me a way to carry my laptop, I really wish there was more padding. If you want a laptop case that will actually protect the laptop, this is not the case for you. If you just want something stylish to carry your laptop around, this one is ok.

Want Case Logic VNCi-116 Value 16-Inch Laptop Backpack(Black) Discount?

A few years ago I purchased another bag to carry my laptop...and my books...and electronic gizmos...and my files...and my lunch. It felt like I was toting a library. Since then I've learned to travel light. This Case Logic VNCi-116 is a real buy. The laptop "pocket" is zippered around three sides. There is an internal strap (velcro) to secure the laptop. There's another zippered space for files, pens, cell phone, e-reader. I've not been disappointed.

The only thing I wish it had was an un-zippered pocket. The photo looks like it might have one, but that line of piping is only style. An un-zippered pocket might be good for things you might need to get to quickly...like a ringing cell phone. Some have claimed there isn't enough padding. Well, that may be true if you want to clobber somebody with it. It is adequate and protective enough for active everyday us.
