Holds everything I wanted with room to spare

When I first got this backpack, I thought about returning it, but I've since decided it's a keeper.

My #1 goal was to be able to carry everything I needed for a day at work in one bag with my hands free. It used to take me 2 trips from my car to office with arms full and bags or sweaters hanging from every available limb or finger.

The ideal pack needed to hold my laptop,
3-ring binder, spiral notebook, 32-oz water bottle, maybe an extra sweater and my large lunches (which include a deep cereal/soup bowl, at least 2 frozen dinners and some fruit).

This pack holds all that plus MORE (wireless mouse, a big wallet and other items from my purse, power cord, pens, etc.). It really does hold a TON of stuff.

As a woman I appreciate the adjustable chest strap.

Not sure I would recommend it for people with small body frames, though.

I'm about 5'5" and the pack is a little long for me. It has a pressure point that either hits me at the top of my butt, or if I adjust the shoulder straps, it seems to put the pressure point right in the small of my back and bunch up around my head/neck.

That's the only reason this bag doesn't get the 5th star.

Since my walks from the car to the office are short and I can get everything in ONE trip, this bag has earned my respect.
