Ogio Newt II Laptop/Tablet Backpack

Ogio Newt II Laptop/Tablet BackpackI love this bag. Has a compartment for both my laptop and iPad while still maintaining a main compartment for all your other stuff. Great quality, complaint is that there is no side pocket for a water bottle. That's a little bit of a drag, but aside from the lack of a water bottle slot, it's a great bag.

Backpack is made very well (shouldn't expect anything less from Ogio). Very comfortable and roomy. Exactly what I was looking for in a backpack.

UPDATING MY ORIGINAL REVIEW from a 4 to 3 stars BELOW:

So after using this bag for almost a month now... I honestly cannot recommend this bag and wish i could send it back. I love the design, the quality, all the pockets, but....

The padding is ridiculous... You can hardly put anything in all the pockets because the part of the bag that is on your bag is so padded you cant even get comfortable??? You feel the bag when filled with a laptop and books digging in your back. Since the back isn't hard enough it flexes so if you have a book you feel a book digging in. A laptop a laptop digging in. Its not painful cause all the padding but the padding is the problem as its really thick and makes the back tug on your shoulders and bend your back backwards with the weight...

I love the bag so I think I am going to take a razor to the back and take out the padding and see how it works then... I may even try to open the back and put cardboard and see if my mother in law can sew it back up.

I was so excited to get this bag and love Ogio's products (we have 3 others in the family) and honestly disappointed by this design from Ogio. I may make a video review to warn others as it is a really nice bag but then you remind yourself why have all these pockets if you cant hardly fill them up cause there is to much protection...

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

Pros:

You will love the quality of this bag.

I have the black and love the quality and color of the bag.

Tons of pockets for your stuff and nice padding materials in all areas of the bag.

Great padding for your back, shoulder straps, and zipper tabs are nice quality.

Cons:

Honestly the Pros become the cons...

So with all the padding the bag feels very bulky... I love Ogio I have the Flux bag and just wanted more padding in the main compartment and space to put my computer stuff and books. Besides the padding issues the Flux was great and the strap system with the neck shoulder line bar you never noticed the bag was on your back...

So I decided to upgrade to a bigger bag. With this bag it has all the space for your stuff but, when you add your laptop, then a certification prep books, a tablet, fill in the pocket for electronic gear, add your charge cables to the side pockets, and some pens. You feel like wow I got all this in this bag and it doesn't look huge.

When you put it on and start to walk you feel the laptop in your back and the bag feels kind of lop sided or bulky. With the Flux the laptop sits in the main compartment and I thought the side sleeve would be better protection but you will feel it in your back since the back is no longer flat. If you have a 15 inch laptop you'll feel that much in your back, a 17 inch or a tablet you will feel that in your back with the straps tugging on your back the rest of the way up...

I don't want to ramble on but just wanted to share that. The bag is really nice if you own say a web site business and travel to show presentations or something and don't carry a lot of books. The bag is great but for a student with a lot of books. Just beware you might feel the bag tugging and hanging off your back.

Thule Crossover 87-Litre Rolling Duffel Pack

Thule Crossover 87 Liter Rolling Duffel PackI agree with the other reviewers.

Highlights:

Durability The overall construction is very tough. I've used this bag on skiing and diving trips in rain, snow, and worst of all, international luggage handlers :-) and it's survived them all.

The dual-compartment design is AWESOME. I use the bottom compartment for hardware (ski boots, fins, gloves, etc) and the top compartment for clothes. Keep in mind that: (a) the top/bottom compartment divider is mesh, so that has pros and cons...on the one hand it means there is good breathability for damp stuff you put in the bottom compartment, but on the other hand if you put your muddy boots into the bottom compartment the mud is going to leech into the top compartment...you'll want to wrap your dirty stuff; (b) the bottom compartment is fairly shallow, about 5 inches (lay a ski boot on its side and it's about that height) but because the compartment divider is mesh there is some stretch to the compartment space.

Looks It's a really cool looking bag.

The big wheels are GREAT for lugging over tarmac, on boats, up stairs, etc, and the pull handle is SOLID. It also snaps/locks into the bag nicely so there is no danger of the pull handle slipping out while in a cargo hold and snapping.

The goggle compartment is excellent, although it does obviously take up some internal space in the bag that you have to learn to pack around.

The semi-hard back and bottom plates help the bag stay upright (this is a problem with a lot of other rolling duffels)

There are handles on the side, top and bottom of the bag which is GREAT since you will be pulling this bag out of trunk spaces, train overhead compartments, etc and a lot of duffel bags just don't provide enough convenient handles. The handles are well designed and pretty flush with the bag so still looks minimalist.

Other design elements: the adjustable straps on the outside are more form than function...they don't do much; all the zippers have lock holes so you can put a TSA-compliant combination lock on them which is good for check-in luggage

Cons:

Note that the outside fabric of the bag is black with small white dots. It doesn't come through in the product photos so don't expect the bag to be jet black. It actually looks very cool (it still looks manly and serious), but the white dots do get abraded over time so the bag will probably look worn faster than, say, a ballistic nylon Tumi or Victorinox bag.

The Thule logo is matt silver and looks very cool. However, it's like some kind of decal applied onto the bag...it looks pretty well bonded but you can take a look at it and know that it will start flaking off over time as the bag gets abraded.

Other notes:

The inside fabric is pale blue...it isn't cheesy but I think it will tend to show dirt more than a black or gray material.

The outside fabric is not as tough as the ballistic nylon that Tumi or Victorinox uses, but it's still pretty tough and the bag is WAY lighter than others as a result. I had it sit out in the rain for a while and my clothes stuff stayed dry. The fabric does absorb a bit more water than the Tumi/Victorinox though, because the fabric is thinner and lighter.

I am so pleased with this suitcase and evidently have raved about it enough that my boyfriend has also decided to buy one. Very very sturdy and good quality build I can't imagine the material ripping or starting to look used. For me, one of the best features is the fact that the wheels are huge, and therefore there's a reduced likelihood of the suitcase rocking or tipping if you go over a bump. The protective goggle section is extremely strong too and I would have no issues loading it up with fragile items (to a certain extent).

Overall a very good suitcase, which definitely justifies the price. I would so rather purchase a suitcase like this every 7/8 years rather than a lower quality one every 1/2 years!

AWESOME DUFFEL!!!!!! Just received this bag in the mail, it came really quick considering I'm in the middle of the desert in Kuwait. This bag is sturdy, rock solid wheels and handle. This duffel rolls soooo smooth. Other bags tip over, fall sideways, or the handle bends. This duffel is QUALITY. I'm a professional scuba diver...I can fit my fins, boots, and BCD scuba vest all in the lower compartment. In the upper compartment I have plenty of room for clothes, shoes, regulators, wet suit, towels, etc. The crush proof compartment will be perfect for my scuba mask. I was so impressed with this bag that I am buying the Thule backpack for my laptop. I found this bag listed as used: like new, as it turns out this bag was brand new still in the plastic, it was a killer deal.

Great bag as far as size and usability. However, after less than 6 months, the top soft handle pulled out while loading it into a car trunk. It looks like the stitching wasn't done well.

I travel internationally frequently, so I was looking for a yet another replacement bag that would last more than 10 round trips, which seems to be the life span of high quality bags when I check them. I bought Thule because of the aluminum frame. It was a choice between Thule or the ugly bags the flight crew purchase (they have replaceable parts, aluminum frames and curdura nylon).

This bag is light, it has smooth rolling, durable wheels. The buckles are actually made of the same aircraft grade aluminum (the plastic ones only last 3 or 4 flights). I think the handle is of great quality. The rails are also of the same aluminum. The layout of the two compartments seems to work better for me than the typical evenly divided 2 compartments. With this bag you have a shallower tray at the bottom half and the other side is a large duffle that you access from zipped panels inside or outside the bag.

The possible weakness is the material. It seemed a bit thin to me. Now after 2 round trips the is a small cut at the bottom of the bag. After examining the cut I see that the bag has two layers of fabric and the under layer seems to be more durable. I took a star away for this but it may be unfair of me. We'll see in a year

Another feature it should have is a D ring or something at the top to attach a strap to for a second roller. I've had to connect off the handle, which, not being rigid, isn't ideal.

Sunrise Rolling Backpack Color: Love Black

Sunrise Rolling Backpack Color: Love BlackThis backpack is everything I dreamed of and more. I bought it to use as carry-on luggage. The backpack has plenty of room to store extra clothes (just-in-case), entertainment items (books, electronic devices), and a small purse. I used it as a backpack when I had my suitcase with me, and otherwise as a rolling suitcase. There's a mesh pocket in the back to keep the backpack straps out of the way when not in use. I've only taken it on one trip so far, on Southwest Airlines. I prefer to keep my carry-on under the seat in front of me and this bag fit perfectly (although tall people note, it stuck out the tiniest bit not a problem for a very short person like me). A Dasani water bottle fit in the bottle mesh on the side and did not fall out. There's also a handle at the top that I used walking down the aisle of the airplane. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase.

This backpack is a good size, plenty of room for books and supplies, and there is a cushion on the back for comfort when carrying. The color is actually navy blue with accents in white and green, the inside is a light teal. A little over-sized on someone with a small frame. I love the fact that my child can roll it if it is too heavy to carry and she likes it too.

The backpack is of decent quality but the main reason for purchasing a rolling backpack is for the quality of the handle and the wheels. Unfortunately, the handle is not good and it gets jammed making this effectively useless since it's too rigid and heavy to be used as a regular backpack.

Case Logic 17" Laptop Messenger Bag

Case Logic VNM-217 17-Inch Laptop Messenger BagI bought this for my new 17.3" laptop. I read a lot of reviews trying to find a bag that would actually fit my new computer, and I was running out of luck. When I found this one I decided I liked the style of it so much I'd take the risk, and it was so worth it.

My 17.3" laptop fits in the laptop compartment with about a finger's width leftover. The laptop compartment is well padded on both sides.

In the flip part of the messenger bag is 2 separate compartments, which easily fits my drawing tablet. It'll probably fit files and documents easily, too. There's a zipper compartment in the front as well which has a few pockets and pen holders, and other little things. The zip pocket on the outside of the bag isn't as big as I thought, but I think it's mostly decoration. It'll fit a cellphone and a few other small electronics for easy access.

Overall the laptop bag is great. The strap is comfortable. It's not bulky or awkward. As another reviewer said, the clips for the strap are made of a mix between plastic and metal which could be built better. But unless you're known to destroy purses or backpacks, then it shouldn't be a problem.

My only complaint is that the inside of the bag isn't that pretty baby blue as advertised. It's more of an aqua green. It's not a bad color, but that was part of what sold me on this bag was the blue.

I like the look of this bag, and use it as my new work bag, taking my laptop to/fro and my daily papers. There isn't a lot of space in the bag, though -I mean, it's rather narrow from front to back, so I have difficulty fitting much more than a couple thin books and my laptop in it. For those who were wondering, considering it's flap front, it is NOT a messenger bag, but rather a fairly stylish, slim, yough'ish looking laptop bag.

Pros:

* It fits all my 3 laptops (13.3", 15", 17") with ease (separately), and with reasonable padding.

* It's fairly stylish -more on the younger person style than and older more staid person's.

* Easy access to zippered pockets, including the one on the front which is surprisingly well placed

Cons:

* Too thin from front to back -it's not very forgiving, and doesn't fit larger objects with any reasonable width.

* The front flap, after a couple weeks of normal wear, is starting to butterfly out, as if the plastic / cardboard lining is out of whack

* While stylish, it isn't really "professional" looking enough to use it if you're going to take your laptop with you on a business trip where you'll be running into clients (in my opinion).

* I fear the clap which buckles the front flap to the body of the bag will eventually stretch out the nylon belt it grasps on to.

* It's wide -I'm 6'1" and a pretty big guy, and this definitely goes fully across my back. It might be too big for some people's preference. IT took a little getting used to in my case.

On the whole, a good bag, but given the option again, I think I would choose something else.

I finally got a chance to test out this laptop bag when I traveled last weekend, and I thoroughly liked it. I have a 17-inch laptop that's plenty heavy, plus I like to take the cords (with their big power brick) and the mouse, so the fact that the bag added little extra weight was a plus. I was able to pack the computer and all its gear, plus two stacks of CDs, a fat paperback, and a magazine, with room to spare. I've always liked Caselogic products, from way back when I'd buy them for the cassettes in my car, and this bag was no exception. It can't be beat for the price.

I have a 17.3 laptop and the bag is able accommodate the size of my laptop,the power cord,a mouse and my sketchbook and a folder with little room to spare. The bag is definitely meant for those who travel light. I love the contemporary style of the bag. The minimalist aesthetic was what i was looking for in a bag.However, the durability of bag is questionable. I have had the bag for a month and the nylon strap that messenger flap clips on to is already beginning to tear away from the bag and the zipper for the speed pocket is not functioning properly. I will be definitely be taken advantage of the warranty once I figure out how to.

I LOVE MESSENGER BAGS!....

Post-Katrina I seem to have collected them, I generally break `em at the strap and start over losing lovely bags... plus-side the Caselogic messenger bag has a 25 Yr. Limited warranty, thankfully. It has top-load access for laptop and loads of zippered pockets and additional storage with practical organizational details. It fits all 17" easily and w/padding.

The overall principle here being you can carry everything you need in one easily to find it unit. If Considering travel by plane or simply using the unit for work it is pretty cool. Plenty of additional storage External Speed Pocket for securing phones or timey-wimey accessories, billfolds maybe keys all for easy access. Internal Power Pocket holds cords and power-bricks or other tech accessories. Inside accessory pockets to organize portablables (mini-mouse, MP3 and pens). Document organizer for folders and/or mags.

It Sports a luggage strap for attaching messenger to rolling luggage. This model's External dimensions are 17.75" x 13.75" x 3.25". I do Love the nylon-microfiber make of the bag but, on the downside, the front-flap is a weaklink, overall the case may not be big enough for much more than your 17" laptop & its accessories, if you are using this bag for a smaller computer it is loads more convenient. Overall, sturdy and stylish, but a but unwieldy.

Osprey Packs Escapist 20 Backpack

Osprey Packs Escapist 20 BackpackI ordered the Escapist 30 (s/m) so the size is actually 27 liters I believe. The quality, workmanship and features are just as I've read about and seen in you tube videos. The fit is great with ample adjustability. I use it everyday, but bought this model specificially for when I ride my bike to/from work (60 KM round trip.) I can pack my clothes, shoes, lunch and other accessories and not feel overloaded as the Escapist just fits great on my back.

I love everything about this backpack. It contours to fit your back and is the perfect size to carry needs for commuting to work.

Well thought out and great quality

JanSport Right Pack Monochrome

Jansport Right Pack Monochrome BackpackI've been holding out on buying a backpack because I wanted to make sure that I found the right one. I had been looking for a solid colored, good quality, spacious backpack with compartments for better organization, and I finally found it. I bought the New Storm Grey color and it is a bit lighter than what the picture shows, almost silvery looking, but still a nice color. It is spacious on the inside and has a compartment for laptops, which is a plus. Another plus is that it has a leather/suede bottom, which I like because then I don't have to worry so much about the material getting dirty when I set it down.

It was also delivered within a week, which was great, and I was so happy to see how good it looked. The only thing that I wish is that it was a little smaller because I have a small frame, but eh, I'll get used to it.

When I initially purchased this bag, I did it because of the color and the quality. I've been using it for a couple of weeks, and I don't have a problem with the quality at all. The only thing that bothers me is that the color was not as dark as it seemed in the photo. I expected a darker shade of purple but it's kinda light. Besides that, it's a good bag.

It has a a medium compartment for your pens, a pocket for whatever you want to store there, and a front zipper pocket for something else. A few classmates have asked me where I bought it, given me positive comments like how awesome it looks, asked me to seel mine to them. I loved it overall. Recommend it!

Antler Liquis 33' Large Lightweight Hardside 4 Wheel Upright NavyI live in East Africa and travel all over Africa, Europe, India and the USA. My luggage is beaten up all of the time.

Kipling New Large Baby Bag with Changing Mat TM2406 - Black

Kipling New Large Baby Bag with Changing Mat TM2406 - BlackThis bag is very nice and I'm sure it will work just fine. My only issue is the size. From the photo I imagined it to be slightly larger so I was a little disappointed. I'll be delivering my little one soon and just packed this bag with his/her hospital and homecoming essentials. I was able to fit two cloth diapers, two newborn outfits, one swaddling blanket, and my Moby but I can't see much else being able to fit in there. So again, very nice bag, just not as big as expected.

I really love this bag, that is exactly the one I'm looking for, a bit disappointed about the delivery, should have been warned that I still have to pay the tax separately as I order this bag from US to UK.

Kipling simply makes high quality, long lasting products. I own many of their handbags and have found that they just last and last. When i saw that they offered a diaper bag, i could not resist. The material and style are great. Washable and durable. The zippers are heavy duty. I am expecting twins, so i'm not sure yet this will be big enough, but it will be enough for most trips. If you want a bag with tons of individual pockets, then this is not the bag for you. For me it has the right amount of pockets, otherwise i end up opening and closing everything looking for stuff. The two front pockets are velcro but the strips are very small and not too loud.

Thule Crossover 19 Liter Sling Pack

Thule Crossover TCSP-213 Sling Pack for 13' MacBook Pro and Pro Retina DisplayLike many people, I am always seeking the perfect bag. Like many others, I realize there is no perfect bag and instead have a collection of bags, from which I choose the one best suited to the immediate purpose. Some bags of mine are narrowly specialized, like the map case I use for my tablet and accessories. That bag is well over a decade old and has been put to a variety of uses.

This Thule bag is more generalized. I can use it for a meeting at the local coffee shop or a cross-country trip.

The bag is medium-sized and does not offer serious competition to a good-sized backpack. It holds my Lenovo X220 with its 12.6" screen and slice battery comfortably, but a 15.6" screen computer will not fit.

At the back of the pack, nestled snug against your back, is a slide in pocket for the computer. It is not well padded, so you want to be somewhat careful about how you handle the pack. There is a single large mesh-fronted and zippered pocket to hold accessories. I would be happier if this pocket were divided into two sections. The way it is, if you load with AC power adapter, mouse and other accessories, they are going to wind up jumbled in a mess. This main compartment is large enough to accommodate a pretty thick stack of papers or a change of clothes.

Continuing to the front is another zippered compartment with five small pockets which can be used for media players, small cameras and the like. There is also a larger mesh-fronted zippered pocket6 for more small items. This compartment is just a bit too small for carrying 8.5 x 11 documents.

At the front, there is a single zippered compartment, only a few inches deep, suitable for a cell phone and other small items. It is not divided into smaller compartments, so the contents may become jumbled.

There is also a large holder on the side for water bottles or whatever else you would like to store in it.

Construction is totally top-notch. The bag fabric is sturdy, the stitching appears sturdy. Zipper pulls are large and the tabs covered with a rubbery substance. The back has two large foam pads to ease the burden on your body. The strap is wider than most, adjustable to fit almost any girth and very nicely padded in the shoulder area.

Overall, this is an extremely comfortable bag, even for people like myself with back and neck problems. The bag is capacious enough for most needs. My only reservation is that I would have preferred more segmentation in some of the compartments. But, if I use mesh bags, I can pretty much overcome that problem.

In my opinion, the Thule Crossover 19 Liter Sling Pack merits serious consideration.

Jerry

I picked up my sling pack at the post office and immediately put it to use. The (boxed) case for my iPad and two other packages fit in easily. As I ran several errands, I kept adding things to the pack. Everything, including my purse, fit in comfortably.

The designers at Thule have thought about just about everything. There are more than enough compartments for you to organize your cords, accessories, and maybe a book or two. The case is reinforced, so you can lean back with it still over your back and not worry about cracking anything inside.

The strap is wide and well-padded. Very comfortable. In fact, the whole pack is strategically padded for comfort. Not only does it adjust good fit for short people but there's a velcro tab to keep the excess neatly wrapped. An external zippered compartment on the strap, designed for sunglasses, will be perfect for my house keys and MetroCard.

The look is sleek enough to be appropriate for professional events and rugged enough to withstand travel and rain. I'm currently juggling my belongings and a cane, so I really appreciate the easy access and the lightness of the pack, even when fully loaded. I also like the extra handle that allows you to carry it in your hand. The only possible problem with this product is that it does not seem possible to wear it over your right hip. Still, it sits firmly enough on your back that this shouldn't be an issue. It's the most comfortable and functional pack I've ever owned.

The Thule laptop bag is a handsome and very functional carrying case for my 13"

Macbook Pro. The computer slips easily in and out of the padded interior pouch.

There are plenty of interior pockets including two zippered ones to keep cables and

other accessories in good order. In addition to the zippered main pouch, a second

zippered pouch offers further storage options. There's even a small zippered pouch

on the padded shoulder strap.

This bag is very well made with great attention to details. The wide padded shoulder

strap is very comfortable and comes with an attached velcro strip that allows excess

strap to be neatly folded and secured. The back of the pack has two pads to cushion

impact against my side or back. Two small handles are sewn in at convenient points

allowing me to grab the bag easily without having to pull it up with the strap itself.

This is a very nice feature. Zippers are heavy-duty and quite visible. There's an

outside pouch for pens and other small items.

The shape of the bag is more like a small gym bag or backpack than a standard

rectangular computer bag. I like the fact that the Thule bag does not look like a

computer case. When traveling, it might make me less of target for a thief. On the

downside, it is not as effective as the standard rectangular case when it comes to

storing notebooks, file folders, or other paper documents.

This backpack is perfect for a young person with a good back that needs a way to carry their laptop efficiently. The large logo gives it a retro sport look rather than a subtle simple look that I personally prefer, but this can't be beat on simple functionality. Very sturdy construction, and the dividers are well padded, allowing several tech items to be carried together.

Great, great bag. I wore it for the first time during this year's Comic Con 2012, and couldn't have been more pleased. Super light weight, easy to access, all around well designed. Immediately accessible items, handy handle for when it's not on your back, low profile color scheme and logo, and heavy duty zippers that seem likely to last and unlikely to jam. Highly recommended.

Baggallini Luggage Geneva Quilted Cross-Body Bag

Baggallini Luggage Geneva Quilted Cross-Body Bag, Black, One SizeI love this bag. The strap is very long which I like so the purse actually hangs at my hip rather than my waist. Very well constructed, the quality of the bag itself is fantastic. This is not only a very good small purse to travel with, it is a great everyday purse.

I recently used this bag on a 13 day trip to Turkey. It securely holds everything and the heavy metal zippers add to the security. It is fairly flat, so can easily be worn under a raincoat or slicker. Crossbody style is very comfortable.

Bohemian Embroidered Ripped Razor Cut Sling Purse Handbag AND Backpack

Bohemian Embroidered Ripped Razor Cut Sling Purse Handbag AND BackpackButton fell off the first week. I wish it had a zipper for the main part because I get paranoid about things falling out, especially when it's in backpack mode. Other than that, great item.

Just as described and pictured. The mcg should show a photo of someone wearing the bag to get a better idea of size and length. It's longer and larger than I thought it would be but was easily knotted to shorten.

Vintage London Style Backpack Shoulder Bag Fashion Great Britain British Flag Knapsack Canvas Bag

Vintage London Style Backpack Shoulder Bag Fashion Great Britain British Flag Knapsack Canvas BagThe zipper on the small compartment on the back of the backpack broke with first use.

I emailed Victoria's Deco.

They suggested I take a picture of it and send it to them?????

Also, the "red" color on the flag is more of an orange.

I am still waiting for a resolution from Victoria's Deco.

The quality of this product is very poor. Gave it to my niece for her birthday. Within 3 weeks the strap broke and the zipper split so it is no longer usable. Contacted the seller and they wanted pictures sent to them. Sent the pictures but they will not accept the return because the item has been used. Unfortunately my niece lost out on her birthday gift because this company does not stand behind their product.

Maxpedition Condor-II Backpack

Maxpedition Condor-Ii BackpackAs with all Maxpedition packs, the Condor II offers top notch quality, expandability and quality workmanship.

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."

Great bag! My daughter loves it. Lots of pockets inside and lined in pink. Buying the rolling frame for it is a must. It can also function as a seat and the wheels move well. The wheels even light up when the frame is pulled quickly. It's a little pricey, but good quality. I would recommend this to anyone who loves cow print and travels often for overnight or weekend getaways. I would not recommend buying it without the frame.

Wenger Swissgear UPLOAD Carrying Case (Backpack) for 16 Notebook - Black

Wenger Swissgear UPLOAD Carrying Case for 16 Notebook - BlackI saw an industrial serviceman that had one of these packs and asked him about it. Because he works all over the world and carries his backpack every where, he said backpacks normally last him six months. His backpack was two years old and looked like new. We were near a computer so I asked him to help me find it on-line. I went to Amazon... Looked up Swissgear backpack... as soon as we found it I wiped out the charge card a bought one.

I've carried everything from my 16" notebook to a small two ton capacity hydraulic jack in it. It's the most indestructible backpack that I have seen or used. I love it.

As soon as I opened the box and saw the backpack, I loved it. It's built well, looks great, and has a lot of room to fit so many different things. This backpack will get a lot of use (graduate student) and I don't worry about whether or not it's up to the challengeI know it is. If you're on the fence, BUY BUY BUY!
