Awesome Pack!

By Ranked #408 - Backpacks January 19, 2010

Like the previous review, I was looking for something I could put work stuff in (laptop, notebook, ipod) that would protect it all and keep a sleek profile; didn't want a huge bulky laptop shoulder bag, or a boxy backpack. This thing has the perfect amount of pockets with thick, heavy duty zippers that inspire confidence. I can load it up in the morning for work, and use it as a daypack for hiking or cycling. The main compartment opens from the side, so it works like a briefcase when you're packing stuff in; zip it up and throw it on your back and it keeps your stuff in place while maintaining a sleek profile.

The only downside is the chest strap is a funky interlocking piece; a buckle would've made a lot more sense. An external water bottle pocket would've been a nice addition.
