This backpack is best for those who want a smaller pack for school that will still work as a pack for day hikes. It fits my 14x10 inch Laptop, 1 text book, and 2 folders but still has what is needed to take it outdoors with chest straps that click into together and as well as the padded waist straps. The shoulder straps are thin and breathable so you wouldn't sweat as much. Your back is separated from the pouch by a stiff, flexible, and malleable board accompanied by foam padding down each side of the spine. It is designed with one main pouch that zips open like any normal backpack with a smaller poach on top of that that zips down the back. There are water bottle pockets on both sides and comes with a waterproof rain cover that collapses small and hides away. This pack is very light in weight; 1lb 14oz. Some might not like this because they may think its too thin and may call it cheap, but it is designed to be light and is very high quality.

I was looking for a daypack for moderate length hikes, something to carry water, food, layers, and a camera. This is a perfect daypack. It has a large, well padded hipbelt that takes to weight off of your shoulders with minimal adjustment. The included rain cover is also a great bonus. The lower price on SAC made this purchase a no brainer. Note: I was not able to fit my laptop with a 15" screen in the sleeve since there is a good half inch of plastic between the screen and the edge of the laptop. You may want to measure your laptop if you plan to use this to carry it.

Great product. Great service. Can't ask for anything more!
