JanSport Whittaker LR Backpack - 4400cu in
Jansport designed the Whittaker LR Backpack with the help of Peter Whittaker of Rainier Mountaineering. Because of its durability and adjustability, this weeklong pack is the guide's choice for summiting Mt. Rainer. Dual-density foam sternum and shoulder straps reduce friction while climbing with a heavy load. The harness plate adjusts easily to fit torso lengths from 17 to 19 inches, and the shoulder width adjusts up to two inches. This internal-frame pack features access at the top as well as the front pocket for quick gear stuffing. The Whittaker's soft-form helmet recess offers light protection from falling ice or rocks, and reinforced center compression doubles as a vertical snowboard carry option. Side and internal compression also help keep the pack close to the body and the load manageable.
Bottom Line: With 200 Mt. Rainier ascents under his belt, Peter Whittaker knows what a great alpine pack requires. The Jansport Whittaker LR Backpack is proof of that.

Perhaps you don't understand how big this backpack is. 72L is enormous. It will certainly fit your laptop, but whether you'll be able to find it again is questionable, because your arm probably won't reach to the bottom of the pack. If you want a casual, day-to-day pack for school or around town, this is not what you are looking for.
