I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and size of this daypack. It's light weight, comfortable to carry, has plenty of pockets and room, and looks great. It is well constructed and still looks new, even after a 12 day adventure in Egypt!

Great backpack

 
Very solid daypack.

High-end shopper, Practical
Pros:
Comfortable, Durable
Best Uses:
Commuting, Hiking
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is a very good pack for the price. I caught this on a deal of the day type of sale. I have to say I was a bit skeptical when I made the purchase because it was so cheap. I've been using it for a few weeks now and have no complaints. It is very comfortable and seems to be built really well. I haven't had the chance to "really" test it, but I'm not worried. I think it's going to handle whatever I throw at it.

This seems to be a very well made and tough backpack. The zippers are large and work very well. The pockets are convenient. It has a durable "feel" to it. I expect this backpack to last a long time.

 
Nice Backpack - Could be improved
By depecheoneVerified Reviewer from Fullerton, CA on 3/16/2007
Describe Yourself:
Comfort-oriented, Stylish
Pros:
Comfortable, Lightweight, Soft back & strap padding
Cons:
Ugly perforated holes
Best Uses:
Commuting
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A very solid and comfortable backpack. Padded very well on back and straps. Good value compared to many competitors.

Eliminate the useless perforated hole on front pocket. Strap spacing at neck maybe too narrow for large neck or wide shoulder person. Handle could be improve and moved away from neck.

More padding needed

I purchased this while it was on sale, but it was worth the retail price. Could stand a pocket with a little more padding, but don't let that keep you from buying this stylish backpack.

Well I needed a backpack and having owned an EMS one before whish is still in great condition, I needed something for the spring and something a bit different and perhaps more trendy. Sure enough I found it and in the clearance section no less.

Have only used pack once. Plenty of features; pockets inside and out, separate storage areas, (could hold a hydration bladder nicely), well padded back, compression straps to name a few and a funky camo-type pattern makes it unique.

Describe Yourself:
High-end shopper
Pros:
Attractive Design, Comfortable, Lightweight
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I work at Park City Ski Mountain and need to carry my ski boots/snowshoes on and off lifts.
This backpack is light enough to wear while skiing and larger enough to carry my ski boots at the end of the day.

 
good, solid bag
By mikeliteVerified Reviewer from Chicago, IL on 1/31/2007

Attractive Design, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight, Roomy
Cons:
Too roomy
Best Uses:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

great product and not just because it was $[...]. My only complaint would be that the main pocket is so roomy that stuff tends to get lost in the space. loose items tend to just accumulate on the bottom in a mess. overall it's a good, solid bag but it could still use more pockets

 
Great bag!

Describe Yourself:
Practical
Pros:
Comfortable, Durable, Neat Features, Roomy
Best Uses:
Books, Commuting

I hate buying backpacks online and took a chance and am really pleased with this one. I'm using it as a work bag and there are pockets galore in various sizes for all my bits. Plus there are two main pockets so I can keep my lunch bag and water bottle separate from my books and papers. I have a compartment for the MP3 player, for my palm pilot and all the little necessities in a girls life.
