"Pretty great bag" - Review of Osprey Packs Elroy Bag

I don't carry a laptop, so I can't really comment on that aspect of the bag, though the padding is very thick, and seems like would protect an expensive notebook rather well. I use this bag mostly to carry my lunch, water bottles, and the crap that won't fit into my backpack to and from school and work. The random biology textbook (I'm a grad student, and they're pretty hefty), two Nalgenes, lunch, a jacket, sometimes an extra shirt, and frequently even more junk find their way into the bag. The organization potential is great, and the space is utilized very well, so I never have a problem fitting everything in an orderly manner. And the seatbelt webbing strap+extra awesome shoulder pad make it rather comfortable to carry-even with my huge Mountainsmith Guide stuffed to the brim on my back. I was originally attracted to this particular bag because of the environmentally friendly manufacturing process, but the bags features and durability have made me more than happy.
