I use this bag everyday now when biking or skating to campus. The laptop sleeve is perfect for protecting a computer or throwing a few books in, and the side zipper makes it really easy to put things in or out fast. The side pockets are a good size for a drink, which is nice so you don't have to do digging through all the other things in the main compartment. I've only had it a few weeks, but my last Dakine bag lasted 4 years and is still going strong.
This is a great bag with all the features anyone really needs and no extra useless stuff to take up space and weight.its a very good product. everything is perfect except for just a couple things
i wish they had some sort of zipper instead of drawsrings for openning the main container.
The water bottle holder goes into the backpack isntead of out so if its packed super tight, water bottles might be hard to fit.
the only container besides the big pouch and the top pouch is nothing! i wish they had like another place for me to put stuff.great bag but a few drawbacks, there is no side pocket that is able to extend to the side so i mean if that is a deal breaker then so it beIt's got some cool features and it's pretty big (which can be a pro or a con). There's a side zipper for direct access to the laptop compartment if you don't want to unclip and loosen the string, it's cool and convenient but if you live in a neighborhood like mine and people see you use that zipper, you might get your laptop stolen without you even knowing (hasn't happened to me but there's crazier things that have happened in the world, so don't doubt that it can't). There are side pouches for drinks and whatever else you want to fit, it's a nice addition but it's built into the backpack itself and can take up space for your other stuff, so it's kind of counter-intuitive. The zipper on the top has plenty of space and will most likely be used for things like pencils and pens. The skate straps are velcro, so they make a lot of noise but if you don't skate, then they're not a problem. The interior has plenty of space for anything you need to pack and it's made of high quality material and blah blah blah. Overall, it's good bordering on great but not amazing. It looks cool though, unless you're a skinny twig like me, it might be bigger than you and that's not a pretty sight.My son loves this back pack. Very durable and utilitarian. He uses it for school and carries what seems like a 100 pounds of books and there is no sign of wear. It is also great for housing all of his gear and tool kits he bring along when he skates. I would recommend this for sure.
