Mountain Hardwear Defender Backpack - 1700cu in

Item #MHW0868 | 4 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Good, but small

By Ranked #474 - Laptop Packs and Bags February 27, 2009

I like this backpack. It's definitely made for taking your laptop and maybe two textbooks and a notebook (if you squeeze them) and nothing else. I've had it out in light rain and no water gets in, but I haven't gotten drenched with it on yet. Overall it's good; I like the two buckles coming around the front. They keep it in place when biking around. The mesh pockets on the outside are nice. I'm not sure if the pocket for your iPod is waterproof if you have the headphone wires coming out or not though.
