Gear Review
Pretty good
By Ryan Wheeler

It's a pretty decent pack, nothing special. I'm not a very big fan of the top snowboard strap because you have to unbuckle it every time you want to get into the pack. Also I will probably end up cutting most of the straps shorter because they are all pretty long. It fit's pretty well to my back and has a low profile which is nice for me. Seems like it would work well for carrying a laptop as well.
