I got this bag when I started Grad School. Wanted something to lug around all the books and my laptop and lab gear. Not only does this carry everything, with room to spare, but it's really comfortable. The shoulder strap doesn't look that thick, but whatever it's made out of is fantastic. Super comfortable to carry a fully loaded bag all around campus and the city.
What I wasn't expecting the first two weeks of school was two hurricanes back to back. After trudging through subways and across the city in torrential downpours I was a little scared of what had happened to my stuff. Not a drop if water inside. Laptop, books, papers . . . all bone dry. And of course theres not a scratch on it from the normal wear and tear of getting it caught on train doors, shoving it under the seat in lecture, etc.
Really a fantastic bag. Plus it looks really cool!
