Love it!
The district 18 has been my daily carry for the last month of a resident masters program. I carry a laptop, mouse, charger, notebook, etc. Every day and it still looks like it did out of the box. Stitching and materials seem to be quality and it feels comfortable. The only thing I can't fit into it is my lunchbox. 10/10 would take to the county fair; 3/10 would take to war.

All around fabulous
Recently bought this to be my work backpack (office job with bike commute), and used it as my personal item on a long overseas flight. It's also been good as a small day pack for outdoor climbing. The pockets are great for keeping my things organized and it fits comfortably, plus the water bottle holders are perfect for Nalgenes/similar. It holds about the right amount of stuff for work/travel/short day trips, but would probably be a little small for a bigger day hike (and has no hip strap). Overall so far it's been absolutely fantastic for everything I wanted to use it for! Only flaw is the velcro on the front, I wish it was magnets or snaps or even just a blank flap instead.

Perfect book bag for college
First, as always, top quality build. Second, many bags/packs marketed for school are huge - not so for the District 18 - the volume is just right for the essentials need for class Third, the design allowing to open like a folder (and yet not have stuff spill out) prevents items from being lost at the bottom of the bag. Forth, unlike other dark interior bags, the bright orange allows for easy viewing of items inside the pack.

Worth it
Good buy, will last for a long time. Pack is a solid build nothing, new from Mystery Ranch but I do have some small nitpicky issues, but none of them are keeping me from using it everyday. I switched from a pack with more organization slots so I had to group most of my smaller items in little pouches that fit perfectly in the slots provided inside and re-organize. Once i got over this i've had no issues. Great bag, recommend.

A good but incomplete EDC backpack
Backpack has a basis but it just has a general feeling that it was designed until someone ran out of time. Bottom line: I should have not have convinced myself that it would work for me and should have returned immediately. I look forward to future revisions. Pros: **Feels good on the back. **I like the interior organization of the main compartment. Several open pockets that allow for relative ease of use. **I came to appreciate the hybrid half-zip/clam shell design of the main pocket. There are interior flaps that prevent the bag from opening completely but can be undone to allow a clam shell opening. Cons: **Front pocket is underdeveloped. No admin pouch which I thought would not be an issue but quickly became one of my main irritants. No mesh pockets or pen holders. It does barely fit a Steam Deck and generic charger **Top pouch is extremely shallow to the point of being virtually useless. Not felt lined. **Laptop compartment is not suspended from the bottom **No strap keepers. Just an odd omission **Water bottle holders are technically made of a stretchy material but are unable to keep anything but the largest bottles in place.

So much better than a briefcase
This is a great pack to replace a briefcase or computer bag. My computer fits in it well, plus there is a ton of pockets for organizing all the rest of the junk I need to take with it. Plenty of room for cords and drives and truck keys and lunch and everything else plus it's comfortable to carry.

Well made
I have been using this for three weeks and it is great. The interior is white _ outside blue if you care _ the white makes it so easy to find things. My old black pack made it easy to loose things inside. The quality was top notcha s alwways.

Fits 17 inch laptop in main conpartment
Bought thinking my work laptop was 15. It was 17. Luckily it fits in the main compartment. Very good build quality. Side pockets are great. Zipper layout is great. Pockets and sleeves in bag are good. I wish the two long were either bigger to fit a small pair of shoes or flip flops or not there at all. The only part I am not sold on is the Velcro flap. It works well only time will tell for how long. Wish it was velcroed more on underflap.
