Osprey Metron 35-Litre Commuter Pack

Osprey Metron 35-Litre Commuter PackI've had this pack for about 6 months now, and can definitely say that I will never need to buy another backpack. The huge central compartment, built in rainfly, comfortable straps, 5 additional compartments + 2 strap pouches, and Osprey's unbeatable forever guarantee make this bag my absolute favorite. The shape of the bag makes commuting on a bike (or in my case a motorcycle) much easier. The bag is wider at the top and narrows down at the bottom, following the natural shape of your upper body. What this means is that you don't have a bunch of bag hanging out in the wind, acting as a parachute to slow you down. Instead, it sits snugly on your back, unexposed. The laptop sleeve is big enough to fit my 16" laptop with it's extra large battery pack. Of all the features, the rainfly is probably my favorite. It's easy to pull out of its nice little storage compartment, easy to put back. It works great as an attention getter when riding in traffic (it's neon yellow). On top of everything, it also has Osprey's Almighty Guarantee, which means if something breaks, tears, stretches, stops working, goes wrong, etc. Osprey will fix or replace it for free. Even if it was your fault. (Such as sliding on your backpack during a bike wreck) While it is pricey, it ends up costing you less than buying a backpack every 1-3 years.

I swear this bag is bigger on the inside than the outside, I can fit a weekends worth of stuff in the bag no problem and the design of the straps makes it not uncomfortable to ride a motorcycle with 40 lbs of gear on your back.

My only wish to change on the bag is the removal of the phone/key pouches from the shoulder straps, they would have been better left as an optional/removable item.

This backpack is great! It was designed for cyclists and really keeps a low profile against the wearer's back and doesn't stick out on the sides. For those of us who aren't avid cyclists, this means that your backpack won't constantly be bumping into things when worn in tight quarters or catching on branches or other protruding objects on the trail. On top of that, it also means your backpack will look a lot cooler than average. Unless it's very full, however, the front flap will fall lower over the body of the bag than the picture suggests. For me, this was not a problem. Technically speaking, the bag is very well designed. I am 5'10" and fairly broad shouldered and this size fits me well. Shorter people may want to opt for a smaller version because the back of the bag could extend farther down the back than is comfortable. The shoulder straps are very comfortable and easy to adjust, the torso and waist straps provide extra support whenever needed and the exterior pockets keep my gear organized and accessible. The main compartment is downright cavernous and has a laptop compartment organizer pocket for papers/notebooks and a mesh pocket for easy access to frequently used items. side pockets are fairly shallow, but large and great for holding small items that you want close at hand. There's also a large pocket in the top of the flap for stuff you don't want to open up the whole bag to get at. The built in rainfly and helmet holder are nice touches as well, but I don't generally need to use them. I've been using this backpack for about 6 months now and I strongly recommend it.

This pack has worked great for my boyfriend. He commutes on his bike to work and needed something that could hold everything he had to bring. This is perfect with the expandable main compartment and also has a really cool rain cover. This was a great choice for him. I think the only negative he said was the straps don't always stay in place. He generally has to adjust them beforehand. Never while riding though.

Its roomy enough for a change of clothes and a jacket with enough room to carry your sack lunch and a lap top. it has extra pockets and straps for tools, accessories and extra light attachments without bulging out. It maintains this all and still keeps an acceptable low profile for something with so much cargo room.

I wanted to give it 5 stars but still on the fence about the back of the bag and Amazon wont let me give it 4.5 stars. Its not what Osprey normally does but it works. The only other thing would be that the pockets on the shoulder straps sit inward towards the center instead of lifting away from the straps and off the body. I understand that this may be for aero dynamics functionality but aesthetically, its awkward.

Deuter Wizard

Deuter Wizard Day PackWe have looked for a small, comfortable backpack like this for 15 years, but have had no success. Although we've purchased several other backpacks, none of them was good. This backpack is perfect for our needs it is light, has two mesh pockets that are an ample size for water bottles, and has two small interior pockets that help with organization. It is perfect for travel because you can throw it in your suitcase and pull it out at your destination. Three members of my family have this pack, and all three of us love it.

Sherpani Luggage Vega Tablet Backpack

Sherpani Luggage Vega Tablet Backpack, Pewter, LargeI am very happy with this backpack because I was really looking for a purse-size pack. This is 13" high, 10" wide (at the bottom, it narrows down a little toward the top), and about 2-1/2" deep. The main compartment is very nicely padded, so if you do want to carry an electronic tablet or e-reader, it would be very well protected. That is the compartment closest to your body. The secondary compartment includes one large and two small pockets plus two slots for pens. In front is a small zippered pocket you can see in the photo. An iPhone fits in there perfectly, or you could keep your keys or anything small in there. The shoulder straps are very comfortable. I have narrow shoulders, so I really like the shape of these straps, they never feel as if they will slide off. It's a very nice looking bag. I like it so much, I also ordered the Sherpani Access Le Backpack in the sangria color; that bag is a little larger for days when I have more to carry. I've had a hard time finding a nice, well-priced, good looking backpack/purse, so I thought if these really are "limited edition" (le), I would splurge and get them both. Hope they last a long time. If not, I will edit this post.

This backpack is roomy enough, but I find the shoulder straps to be stiff and not so comfortable. Since I do a lot of hiking, comfort is important to me.

GIORNO15.4 Laptop Black

GIORNO15.4 Laptop BlackI just picked this up at J&R a couple of days ago and its one of the best bags I've ever picked up. The fit is perfect for the MBP 15.4 (unibody) is perfect and the computer "pocket" is suspended internally. The interior dimensions are perfect for the extra gear I need to carry as well. The finish of the bag is solid. I like the little details, like the way the strap clips on and looks built in, or you can remove it and you would never know it had a strap.

The bag is easy to carry around in the subway, the handle is comfortable with a good amount of weight (MBP, 2 2.5" drives, cables, power, notebook, misc stuff).

Perhaps one of the most amazing things is that the bag is balanced. With the MBP, gear, etc, it stands upright. None of my other soft bags, including Brenthaven, Booq, and others do this. They all tip over. And this bag is only about 3-4 inches thick.

Many people have commented on the looks if it also. Very nice appearance.

I saw this bag at Ross, but it was the 20inch and I needed the 28inch. The color the weight the feel of the bag is amazing. Picture does not do it justice. The only way to travel is in style and this bag has it all. I personally like the black better that the brown

High Sierra A.T. Gear Ultimate Access 36" Drop-Bottom Wheeled Duffel

High Sierra A.T. Gear Ultimate Access 36' Wheeled Drop Bottom Duffle with Backpack Straps in BlackI work in a marine environment. Durability, resistance to environmental stresses such as direct sunlight, moisture, corrosion, and incidental physical abuse on my part are always part of my criteria when purchasing anything I might bring on a boat. When I first started buying bags I was a lot younger and didn't mind carrying around 50 pounds of gear on one shoulder but as I got older I started buying duffle bags with wheels. I used to buy Samsonite wheeled duffle bags thinking they were of higher end quality, and this is partly true. However, all the Samsonite bags I've owned so far have lost most of their functionality due to the rigid frame where the wheels are set snapping because the rods stop before they can offer any support and the wheel base has no extra support molded in.

It's time for me to purchase new bags again and I'm not made of money so I want a good value. I looked at Thule, Dakine, Samsonite and High Sierra. Thule and Dakine seem way over priced. I decided to take a chance on High Sierra this time and bought two bags of different sizes. The first thing I looked at when receiving this bag was the frame. It's a much better designed component than what I had on the last generation Samsonite bags I owned. The Rods extend all the way to the bend where the wheels are set and the curved wheel base has some reinforcement design molded in. This bag has two interesting features that caught my attention. Instead of having one shoulder strap it has back pack style straps built in to the bottom. Any time you run out of flat surface to pull you can always carry the bag with the weight evenly distributed on both shoulders. Also theres a zippable base in the top compartment, it's a good design in case you need extra space for large items that wont fit in the top compartment itself. You can just unzip the bottom and utilize both compartments as one, however the bottom material is very thin. It's made of the same sheer material as the liner that is used to cover the frame. The upper compartment is therefore heavily reliant on the support of whatever you pack in the bottom compartment if it is to last. If the thin material were to ever get cut the rip might continue to travel over time until it hit the zipper unless a patch was sewn in immediately. The consolation is the bag is still functional as one big compartment. Outer zippers are decent quality but snaps are not as heavy duty as I would like. The fabric used is not as good of quality as the Samsonites I've owned but decent enough and the design is much better considering the added features and better frame. The Samsonite equivalent is about 50 dollars more and has a 3 year limited warranty which I was told by them might not cover the base if it snaps. The High Sierra has a 5 year limited warranty and I was told by them that the bag would be covered under warranty if I were to have that problem. Without the key rollable feature being reliable better fabric doesn't mean a whole lot so I'm fairly happy with my purchase at the moment. After 6 months of use I will revise my review accordingly.

Materials 2.5 stars (outer shell is adequate but score is low due to no lining in top compartment and thin material in top compartment base)

Design 4.5 stars

Build 4 stars

Warranty 4.5 stars

Price 3.5 stars (paid 105.00)

I've had mine for more than a year now, and just ordered another one for a friend.

It's big, roomy, durable, and portable (can carry it on your back).

One negative remark i have is that it's not watter proof (one airport apparently let the luggages out in the rain, so i got my clothes all wet).

Other than that, i love it.

I did extensive research online -even went to sporting goods stores that had clearance sales (Gander, Academy, etc)and this duffle bag is -by farthe best you can possibly buy for the money. I was hesitant to make this purchase precisely because of the low price, but now that I've seen it "in person", all my doubts are gone. It's big enough to take on a two-week trip and you can use it as a backpack as well as a wheeled duffel bag, which is very convenient. I am very happy with this purchase. Absolutely recommend this bag!!

Disney Brave Full Size Backpack - Bow and Arrow

Disney Brave Full Size Backpack - Bow and ArrowWe purchased this backpack for our daughters 7th birthday. It was a LOT larger than I expected and very roomy. Even the two outside pockets were nice and large. The thing that impressed me most was the construction not cheap stitching like most bags. A little large for a 1st grader but it should last her for at least the rest of this year into the next.

Soccer Duffle Carrying Bag - 19"

Soccer Duffle Carrying Bag - 19'I bought this bag to carry my stuff to/from my son's soccer games. When the bag arrived I noticed that the material is satin with the balls printed on it. Good thing I bought it for me! It seems to be durable and suits my needs for my camera, extra snacks and water, sunscreen, etc. It will hold cleats and other uniform items if that is what you buy it for, but be warned, the fabric may not stand up to mud, grass, and kids.

Nasa Shuttle Buzz Aldrin Rolling Pilot Case

Nasa Shuttle Buzz Aldrin Rolling Pilot CaseIt's a decent bag, and about the only space shuttle one we could find, but IT IS NOT A BACKPACK. AND YES I AM YELLING! We contacted the seller asking if we were missing straps or something and this was the response:

"Please note that this item is a Rolling Backpack, which is a common term for these trolley or rolling bags. The item is indeed a rolling bag, as it does not have straps to be able to wear on one's back."

Am I the only one that assumes that the word 'backpack' in the description should imply that it is actually a backpack?

the product is as pictured, but it`s not a backpack, as the title claims. It`s a little thin, barely fitting my son`s homework folder.

Tapout Men's Medium Gym Duffle Duffel Bag UFC MMA Backpack

Tapout Men's Medium Gym Duffle Duffel Bag UFC MMAI bought this duffel bag thinking it would be different in terms of quality from the other bags, the design is cool but the quality of the product itself is no big deal, the side pockets broke inside and the bag is deteriorating faster than I thought and I was carrying the normal stuff you would expect to have into a MMA bag, headguard, mma gloves, gi, etc, etc, nothing very heavy. There should be something of better quality in the market, so if you buy this one do it on your own risk!

i like the size and color of it but the main strap broke withing the first week and i wasnt impressed with that but what ever it still works so it dosent matter that much just sew it yourself

Hello Kitty Check Backpack - Kids

Hello Kitty Check Backpack - KidsMy daughter discovered Hello Kitty over the summer and desperately wanted this backpack for this school year. Now that the end of the school year is upon us, I must report that the backpack held up amazingly well. There as been really no wear or damage to the bag and is easy to wipe clean. Granted, my daughter is only in First grade and doesn't generally carry a lot of work home, but even so this bag has been thrown about, dropped, stepped on and even had a dousing of juice and survived it all. We are going to use this bag again for next school year.

EnteraLite Infinity Mini Backpack for EnteraLite Feeding Pumps

EnteraLite Infinity Mini Backpack for EnteraLite Feeding Pumps, Green/GrayThese back packs are cheaply made and do not stand up to the intensive use required for my son who is a very active toddler , even with his special needs and we take it out and about with us on walks, visits, and it gets thrown around the play area by him while hes playing, The seams start to pull and fray very quickly and the zips are really cheap and catch easily and break really quickly. They are cheap, likely made in China and the medical companies are charging a fortune for them. Please can they be more hard wearing and durable. They need to be able to be put through the washing machine on a weekly basis too as they get really stinky with dribbles of milk on them too and general dirt over time. Please help. I am so frustrated by the poor quality of them, Fins Mum.

This backpack is cute. It holds the pump and feeding bag well but there are some serious issues with durability. The zippers and fabric usualy last 6-8 months then we are holding the thing together with safety pins. Very irritating! You would think for the price they could make that better. It is an esential part of the feeding system for an active child on a feeding pump and allows my son to interact with the world instead of being hooked up to a pole. My son is fed for 18 hours a day. However, I would really like them to work on the durability. The seller shipped promptly and in good condition

Buy EnteraLite Infinity Mini Backpack for EnteraLite Feeding Pumps Now

If you or your child has a feeding tube and is fed with the zevex infinity pump, then this backpack is a must have. Check with your insurance to see if they cover the cost as mine did. The backpack made life much easier for our family as my baby was on continuous feeds for quite some time. We were able to go anywhere and not worry about an iv pole to drag around.

The straps are nicely padded, and the bag itself was the perfect size for me. This bag would be too big for a toddler under 3 to wear in my opinion (especially if your child has a low body weight). If you are looking for a backpack for your toddler or young child to wear themselves, then I would get the EnteraLite Infinity Super-Mini Backpack.

It is worth the money if your insurance company won't cover it.

It seriously can carry a lot of stuff. As long as it doesn't go above the actual height of the bag, you're good!

And even if it was over the height of the bag, you can still carry lots of stuff in it. No tears, no cuts, nothing but perfection since the day I got it.

Little Twin Stars decoration just makes this bag even awesomer.

SLAPPA Kiken Jedi Mind Trix Laptop Shoulder Bag

Kiken 18-Inch Jedi Mind Trix Custom Build Laptop Shoulder BagFirst off, I bought my Slappa Kiken Jedi Mind Trix Laptop Bag off the Slappa website, which has two thumbs up from me. I wanted a durable quality bag, lots of pockets and padding, with good looks to it. Initially I thought this bag was way too expensive, but after seeing that Slappa is consistently rated at the top, I made the investment. I have the laptop bag in front of me as I write this review.

Basically, you get what you pay for. This bag is top of the line good. The material is dense, high quality, and well manufactured. The adjustable shoulder strap is heavy duty (reminds me of a black seatbelt) with nice thick solid metal spring clasps and D-rings. The cover of the Jedi Mind Trix has two velcro straps that allow you to strap in any large accessories, i.e. gaming keyboard or whatever. This cover also zips off completely in exchange for other Slappa Kiken covers, giving a neat customization option. Underneath it is velcro which holds the cover down, 3 front zippered pockets with good size, and zippered access to the front compartment. I kinda wanted buckles instead of velcro here, but since everything is zippered in, I don't really want to unbuckle AND unzipper, plus the velcro is that heavy duty stuff and is less clunky. The two big compartments in this bag can be locked with one of those little pad locks.

The front compartment is roomy, big enough to fit several textbooks and accessories. Its got a standard pocket, 4 slots for pens/pencils, and another pocket with a velcro cover. Also there's a full size zipper compartment for more storage.

On the backside is the second big compartment, again with zipper (lock capable) access. This is the side that has the laptop pocket, using a velcro flip up to hold it in. Again velcro doesn't bother me here, since it's zippered as well. My old 17 inch laptop fits nicely and also works for my 15 inch. The padding here is the stiff good stuff that doesn't deform when things push against it. Also there is another full size zipper pocket opposite of the laptop pocket with plenty of space to fit in more stuff.

On either side of the bag underneath where the shoulder strap clips on, are two zippered mini compartments, which feature a mesh pocket and normal pocket inside. I may have wanted a water bottle pocket on one side at least, but that's not a big deal. The two main compartments have a cool feature where they can be unzipped and lain flat or you can velcro in the sides to give it more of a pocket feel.

Bottom line: Everything about this bag is beyond satisfactory. The price may be high, but you receive a first class product that has tons of pockets and lots of room for your stuff. You will not find higher zipper, D-ring, and clasp quality on any other laptop bag to ensure protection and security. I will continue to be a Slappa customer. And yes, I'm a Star Wars fan.

The Slappa Kiken Jedi Mind Trix bag is awesome! I've had it for about 2 months now, so I've had time to put it to use. (purchased it directly from Slappa). I needed a good bag to hold my new alienware 18x. There weren't many options to pick from for a laptop this size. I read some reviews about other bags (specifically the Orion messenger bag) that described poor D rings holding the shoulder strap. I didn't want my $4k investment to hit the floor, so I was pretty weary on which to select. I saw a video review on youtube of this product which sold me on it.

When it arrived I was even more impressed. The design was awesome, the outer material seemed tough, the interior well padded and all the compartments held everything I needed it to and more.

Again, if you have an Alienware 18x then it will fit nicely.

I am completely stoked with this bag! You won't be disappointed if you get this!

Buy SLAPPA Kiken Jedi Mind Trix Laptop Shoulder Bag Now

I purchased the Kiken Shoulder Bag after doing days worth of research trying to find the right bag to carry my Alienware M17x R3. It is a very large gaming laptop, and there are not too many bags that it will fit in. I actually came across the Kiken pretty early in the search, but I kept looking to see if there were any better options out there. In my search I was looking for a messenger or shoulder bag. I carry my laptop to and from a professional setting, so a backpack wasn't really much of an option for me. That was actually what I was trying to get away from. Protection was a big issue for me as well, though not enough to need a hard case or pelican case. I would be carrying my laptop out to oil platforms with me though, and the people that handle our bags onto the helicopters are not always the most gentle. To top it all off though, I spend a lot of time offshore, so I need to be able to bring everything I need to game, work, and entertain myself while I am out there.

All of these things affected my decision on a bag, and I was able to settle in on the Kiken. It took a little extra to make it right, but the end result worked so well that I thought it would help everyone out for me to share the results. I ended up with the Kiken 18" Shoulder Bag and the PTAC Matrix 18" Laptop Sleeve, both made by Slappa. Originally, I was told that the extra sleeve wouldn't be able to fit into the dedicated laptop sleeve of the Kiken, but when I received the items, the first thing I did was try to stick it in there. Fortunatly, it worked! I should note that I put the sleeve into the bag without the laptop in it first. After that point, I was easily able to slide in and remove my M17x without having to take the extra sleeve out. This combination leaves me with unbelievable protection, in a stylish, but not entirely unprofessional bag, that has amazing quality workmanship. Although there is a lot of velcro, so it can be noisy, the velcro is incredibly strong and the hardware is all metal. All of the stitching is sturdy and well done, and the ballistic nylon is very tough. I've already dropped the bag with my laptop in it a few feet and it banged around on some stairs, but the laptop and the bag came out unscathed.

I should also mention that I purchased this bag directly from Slappa, and their customer service was great. They did not have the Jedi Mind Trix sleeve in stock so they called me and we changed it a different one. They offered me a discount on the Jedi sleeve when they received more of them in to compensate the mix up. I've been using the bag for a little over a month now, and I have not run into any problems with it, or had any problems storing all of my accessories in it. I highly recommend this bag.

I purchased this bag directly from the Slappa website for my ASUS G73JW laptop. It's a heavy laptop and I wanted something sturdy to carry it.

After 10 months the main handle (not shoulder strap) has separated from the bag on one side. I logged into the Slappa website to see what the warranty is and it's 180 days, so looks like I'm out of luck. I would of expected more than 10 months of use for a hundred dollar bag.

Something of interest. I tried to leave this exact same feedback on the Slappa website and guess what.... My feedback didn't show up. So it looks like only the positive feedback makes it to the big show.

This bag is versatile, solid, comfortable to carry and holds my Dell notebook (or would hold 2 or 3) and a change of clothes so I can easily carry it on the plane. Filled, turned sideways, it slides under the window or center seat well and under the aisle seat with a littl push (because the aisle seat is a little narrower underneath).

OGIO Deluxe Bag

Ogio Deluxe Backpack for 17-Inch NotebookI was worried about the few reviews of this bag, but it seemed to fit my purposes exactly how i wanted. And it does.

It looks great, feels tough, and has all of the somewhat premium features of a backpack. I think someone posted a review about the zippers saying they werent great, well id disagree. Imo the entirety of this backpack is well built and thought out. I used it for my first semester of college and it has very little signs of wear. Only has it on the bottom and where the middle strap goes on.

Pros: Looks great, built well, comfortable even when full(can hold all of my books and binders with a bit of room to spare((3 textbooks and 5 spirals))), has a spot for ipods/phones/sunglasses, second biggest pouch has a bunch of mesh organizers for cables, notecards, etc., smallest pouch works great for many things, the bottle holders really hold things well. The main shoulder straps and handle are very well padded and strong, ive had zero issues with them, and the zippers are good too.(they use the same zippers lowpro bags use, and i love them) overall it slightly waterproof for a few seconds. I had to sprint through very heavy rain, leaving me completely soaked, but the backpack only moist, and nothing inside was wet even at all. Overall id buy it again.

Cons: The material they make this pack out of is kind of lacking for only one reason, it isnt a dyed cloth, its one sided and the opposite side is white, so any tears, or loose threads stick out white, the middle strap; its an okay feature, but has its faults. Dont remove it unless you really feel like never using it, its a pain to get back on, and can tear up the pathway that it hooks on(youll know what i mean when you see it). If they fixed the white thread issue id reccomend the heck out of this thing, but otherwise its just a great backpack(with non white thread id say awesome).

If you like the looks and features buy it.

Great bag. Fits my 16" laptop easily. Heaps of compartments and looks great. Only thing that I don't like is poor quality zips. You can tell the are weak just by using them. Really let's down a fantastic bag. Even so if I get six months out of this one I wouldn't hesitate in buying another one.

Got the backpack pretty quickly. Love this backpack. It's bigger than my old one so it's taking some time to get use to but it is such a useful backpack

I used it daily for more than a year, still looks like a new one no problem with materials or zippers. Very durable, great materials, great size and shape, looks stylish.

The zippers are trash and at least in one week the backpack gets broken and a huge hole appeared between one of those poorly zippers!
