Deuter Futura 30 SL Backpack
It is the perfect size for an all day hike or a short overnight trip.
I love all the extra pockets on the side, which are hard to see in the pictures. Helps with organization!
I also really love the ventilation in the back panel. Even if the pack has a lot of weight in it, it feels like you aren't carrying a pack because of how cool it stays. The hydration sleeve holds my 2 liter bladder very well, and even has a velcro strap to hold it in place.
My only complaint about this pack is minor...it doesn't cinch closed all the way in the main pocket. I think this is due to the width of the frame in relation to the size of the pack. It cinches pretty close, and the top pocket covers it so that it isn't exposed. I do feel if I held it upside down and shook it stuff might fall out. Thus, I would not use the while rock climbing upside down. Since this is not something I commonly do, I am ok with it.
Overall I love this pack and much prefer Deuter to Osprey!I purchased this backpack after looking at many makes and several different sizes. I was very pleased with my pack; it fits well and didn't cause any "rubbing" on the shoulders once I learned to fit it properly. I purchased it to walk "the Camino" across northern Spain. An added mesh pocket on the front would be a nice added feature. I was often asked about the yellow flower as to its meaning, which gave me the opportunity to explain the SL feature for women! I would recommend this pack.

Roxy Juniors Shadow View Backpack
Buy Roxy Juniors Shadow View Backpack Now
I was afraid I'd be paying big bucks for a typical backpack. I'm happy to say that is not the case. This backpack is first of all gorgeous with rich, vibrant colors. The material feels strong and soft. Stitch work excellent along with good quality zippers. I definitely feel I got my $$'s worth and the recipient is thrilled with it. Would buy again.Read Best Reviews of Roxy Juniors Shadow View Backpack Here

Targus Military Messenger Case Designed to Protect 16-Inch Widescreen Laptops TSM10901US (Dusty Gre
This backpack is surprisingly comfortable. The shoulder straps aren't bulky, but they are slightly padded and adjustable in length at the bottom and in depth at the top. The laptop compartment sits next to the wearer's back and is padded with breathable mesh padding in a way that both protects the laptop and makes the backpack comfortable to wear. I haven't gotten sticky back, where sweat from your back makes your shirt stick to you after taking off a backpack, while wearing it.
The build quality is uncompromising. The zippers are sturdy and in 3 months of daily use have snagged exactly 0 times. It looks exactly like the day I got it. No loose stitches, no signs of wear, no signs of fatigue. The laptop pocket is separate from the other pockets, so you don't have to worry about mayo from your lunch getting in your keyboard. That pocket is padded on both sides to protect the laptop from other things in the bag and from the outside world. The non-laptop pockets are two layer material. Outside is a durable almost rubberized material that seems very water resistant, along with reinforcements in key areas of nylon webbing. Inside the pockets are lined with a thinner non-rubbarized nylon that also seems quite sturdy.
Another comparison point is an Osprey daypack I use when hiking outdoors without my laptop. Osprey makes packs that are guaranteed for life and charge accordingly. Both backpacks seem to use the same mesh padding on the back (the Targus laptop pack has additional padding behind that for the laptop). Both have the same material for the lining of the pockets. Both have similar quality zippers, though my Osprey zippers snag some due to how they are built in. The shell material in the Targus seems more water resistant and more durable.
Really the only downside I can find is that the yellow color lining the laptop pocket on the Dusty Green/Black and Yellow Accents model is not very attractive. But you only see that when you are opening the pocket to put a laptop in or out, so it's not that big of a deal to me.
Highly reccomended. In the past, I've used Targus laptop backpacks that were basically backpack versions of the standard Targus laptop briefcase. They were optimized for carrying laptops and business papers, but they weren't very comfortable backpacks. I've also tried standard backpacks, but the lack of a dedicated laptop compartment was a drawback. To protect the laptop, I put my computer in a neoprene sleeve, which added weight, bulk, and hassle.
This Targus case is a nice hybrid. Overall, the design is very similar to a standard backpack, but it has a padded compartment with a microfiber covering on one side for the laptop. The design is very good for college students.
Here's a quick summary of what I like (+) and where there's room for improvement (-) ...
+ Dedicated, nicely padded laptop area, with microfiber lining on one side (you need to put the laptop in the case with the top cover on the microfiber side to get full anti-scuff protection, although the other side is basic nylon, which shouldn't be too bad on the laptop) -laptop compartment is very large (they say it handles a 16" laptop, but my 17" fits easily)
+ Nice, roomy backpack, with good-sized water bottle holders on both sides (large enough for refillable bottles), and easily accessible gadgets pouch
+ Looks like pretty heavy duty stitching, the fabric looks like it's probably waterproof, and the straps adjust easily
Shoulder strap padding is noticeably lighter/thinner than I'm used to for backpacks -this feels like it could be a problem when carrying heavy loads (I was surprised by this drawback, since my previous Targus packs have had beefy, well-padded straps)
The fabric is a thin, smooth, waterproof (I assume) material -it doesn't look/feel like it will wear as well as heavy duty ballistic nylon, but that's just a gut feeling for now (I'll have to use it for a few months to know for sure)
Overall: Decent general purpose backpack, although it doesn't feel to me like it has the quality of materials and number of features I'd expect for fifty dollars (the price at the time of this review). If you just want a good quality backpack, better and cheaper packs are widely available. If you want a dedicated, padded, lined compartment for your large laptop, though, Targus cases like this one are worth the extra dollars. Within the Targus line, I personally prefer their standard laptop backpacks over this "military" model -their standard packs have better fabrics and features for the price. This is a very well-made backpack that I use when I am transporting my computer but also just to take back and forth to work. Lots of pockets plenty of protection for your laptop a quality product. I received this bag for free from the Amazon Vine program. The bag has a somewhat "tactical" or military look, so I'm comparing it to other bags of a tactical or outdoor nature.
My first impression was that this is a low quality bag the material is not very thick or rugged, and the zippers and hardware in particular are of the cheap low quality type. Frankly, I'm surprised by all the high reviews, as this simply is not up to the quality standards of other tactical style backpacks, i.e. anything from Maxpedition, the more value based 5.11, or my personal favorite Blue Force Gear, or from other outdoorsy makers such as Patagonia.
While I wasn't overly impressed with the build quality of this bag, I decided to reserve judgment until I saw the price, as the brands I listed above, while of far superior quality, can also be quite pricey. Honestly based on the quality of this bag I was expecting it to cost $25 or so, and I was surprised to see it listed at over fifty dollars.
One thing I like about this bag is that it has two large compartments, as opposed to only one large one. I currently use this as my gym back, and the dual compartments allows me to keep my clean vs. dirty clothes separated.
Based on the overall quality vs. value, I give this item 3 stars, as it is still cheaper than other tactical backpacks. However, if you plan to purchase a bag that you will use for a long time and will potentially see some hard use, I think it the long run it would be better to pay more money for a bag that will last. I just don't think this bag is going to hold up to long term or hard use.

Lassig Vintage Metro Bag, Multicolor Oilcloth
Modern design that goes with both jeans and dress.
Not too heavy but large capacity.
Ease of cleaning.
Can use it as a regular bag if I wanted to.
Ability to store my things and baby stuff separately.
Easy one hand access to pockets for keys and wallets.
Comes with stroller hooks.
As you can tell from my 5 star rating, this bag met all of my requirements! I'll now go through these points more in details.
1) Modern design that goes with both jeans and dress.
I had such a hard time finding a not-too-casual and not-too-classy diaper bags! Most of the diaper bags out there seem to lean towards one way. I first thought about purchasing the highly rated Skip Hop Studio or Versa diaper bags, but then I learned that their fabric looks very cheap. I also wanted to stay away from JanSport backpack material, so that narrowed down the options for modern looking diaper bags significantly. I then thought about brands like Timi & Leslie and Nest, but I did not want to purchase a heavy leather/leatherette bag. Ultimately, I settled on laminated/oilcloth for its lightweight and ease of cleaning. The matt finish gives a nice classy look to the delicate white line design. I really love the look!
2) Not too heavy but large capacity.
The bag weighs 1.48kg, so it's slightly heavier than those diaper bags that are made of JanSport backpack like polyester fabric, but is much lighter than those bags made of leather/leatherette fabric. The bag is 45.5 x 23 x 25 cm; it's big enough to carry a 13" laptop and your baby stuff. I can carry so much stuff with this, yet it's not too bulky.
3) Ease of cleaning.
Outer fabric is oilcloth, so you can just wipe it off clean. Inside pockets are water repellent, so they are great for storing wet bibs and burp clothes. The changing mat and the inner fabric are antimicrobial too. I also like that the zippers for the two main compartments go down all the way, so I can easily clean the bottom of the bag.
4) Can use it as a regular bag if I wanted to.
I think many of the more affordable diaper bags ($100 or less) tend to be made for one purpose; to carry diapers and baby things. For that reason, I thought about Nest diaper bags, because their inner compartment zips off and you can use them as regular bags after your baby grows up. However, I couldn't commit spending nearly $300 on them:( Considering the price, this bag looks classy enough and some bulky compartments like bottle and jar holders come off. How cool is that?! Also, the insulated bottle holder can be used separately!
5) Ability to store my things and baby stuff separately.
There are a total of 4 big compartments and 2 front pockets, so it's very easy to keep our stuff separate. I like the design for both the organizational aspect and hygiene reasons. I'm soon uploading some pictures, so please check them out for more details!
6) Easy one hand access to pockets for keys and wallets.
The front pockets are magnetic, so even when I'm carrying my baby, I can reach for my wallet with one hand. You'll be surprised how many diaper bags out there only have zippered pockets! I mean who wants to struggle with zippered pockets when I have a crying baby in my arm and needs to get my wallet out ASAP?
7) Comes with stroller hooks.
No brainer. In addition, it comes with a shoulder strap! It's doesn't have a shoulder pad, so I don't think you want to use it long term though. I'm thinking it'll be come in handy when I have to travel by air and have to carry suitcases and strollers during the trip.
Well, now you know what I was looking for in a diaper bag and why I like this bag so much. I know that everybody looks for different features, so hopefully you'll find this review helpful in making your purchase decision! This bag is sooooo cute! I wish I could love it, but it feels more like hauling luggage than a diaper bag :( Perfect for a long trip because it's really roomy, but not ideal for everyday use (like to the grocery store or park). It's in the closet for now, until we take the kids for a long car trip or plane ride somewhere, which is a shame because it really is adorable!

Advanced Mountaineering Pack
One minor issue is with the water bladder pockets on either side of the ruck. The pockets are very big, work fine, however if you don't pack out carefully inside the ruck and you have pouches attached on the outside of the pockets, the pockets get pinched between the stuff inside and the pouches full of stuff outside making it difficult to push a bladder into the pocket. It's a design issue. They would have been better off running the PALS webbing all the way up the sides and letting the owners attach their own canteen or bladder bags to the outside of the pack.
I definitely recommend this pack. It is a monster and very versatile.

This backpack was a bust--the shoulder straps broke a week after it was purchased. It wasn't even full. My son tried it on to see how it would feel and was walking around the house, and the strap broke right off. The other shoulder strap was on the verge of breaking. A backpack doesn't do any good unless you can carry it on your back, and this one failed. Big time. This was a gift, and I don't know if I will replace it with the same brand or go for something totally different.Definitely a good pack for the money. It fits a ton of stuff. Fits like a modern pack and has plenty of padding. I like to use my packs to 'train' with, so I like to pack them heavy. I would NOT go on a long, multiday hike with a lot of gear in this pack. It isn't cheap by any means, but just doesn't "feel" heavy duty. IF you are a pack-mule like me, this isn't the one, but its fun for an additional pack. It's a big pack, and the modern fit it doesn't look like you are advancing on a position; i.e. doesn't look like a webbed-out military pack...even though it sort of is.Sunday, April 13, 2014

ACU Digital Camouflage Recon Butt Pack (Army, Military, Police, & Security Type)
2. I gave it a okay rating because it doesn't have any rings to attach to suspenders and dangles. Akward to carry on belt and suspenders. Plus not a lot of room in the top or side pouches. Side pouch held a pair of winter gloves. Also after a rain it stored moisture inside the bag. Don't really like it...

12/16/12 So I've had this bag for a couple of days and due to the shipping charges I wasn't able to return it. However I did fix the straps by sewing them a little bit tighter so they fit better and I also made the flap at the front of the bag a little bit tighter. I'm really satisfied with it, if only it had arrived that way.

I was really excited about the pack. I was able to fit my 15.6 in laptop (in it's protective sleeve), text book, 3 single subject notebooks, nexus 7 in case, and kindle paper in case. It was really boxy with all that stuffed into it (I just wanted to see if it would). My complaint is the color. The canvas itself was a little darker then I had expected, though still nice. HOWEVER the bottom strip is not a lite blue like I had thought. It is more turcurse then anything else and does not go well with the redish brown leather (or leather like) and navy blue and white striped straps. I'm going to send it back. So close.Monday, January 27, 2014

This bag is very durable. It is also stylish. The picture needs to be more clear because fhe colors dont match the pictures. Overall very well.Great gym sack and very durable. The extra zipped pocket and 2 bottle holders are also very handy. The overall weight is not too heavy to carry as well.Good value. After a lot of searching to find a sack pack to replace my old one, I chose this one mainly for its outside pockets. I was pleasantly surprised to find the two net pockets are much more spacious than they appear in the pictures.Sunday, December 15, 2013
