This bag caught my eye around Christmas time and we never picked it up. With two small children and the need of a baby bag I couldn't stop thinking about this bag and all the pockets and room and durability. Not to mention it is not feminine and my husband wont hate carrying it around when he has the kids. Well I recently bit the bullet on the cost and purchased the bag. It was such a great decision. This bag is great! I know where everything is and I can fit everything in it. Its prefect for what we are using it for and now when I say "its in the baby bag", my husband know exactly what I am talking about! Its a great purchase!!
I have been in the Army Special Forces for 20 years! I have carried a lot of packs in my time,and i have been using this pack for a year in Afghanistan and it has been great and has worked out very well.I would like to see this bag made a little bigger like 3500 CI that would be great!!
I've been using this rucksack for 2.5 weeks as a laptop/accessories/textbook bag heavily loaded with about 30 lbs while on an extended trip involving multiple flights, the TSA and a lot of abuse and rushing around. OVERALL: I love it, it's almost perfect. I highly recommend it but not for very heavy loads because of the thin shoulder straps. This is more an urban rather than a heavy-duty outdoors pack. PROS: It’s larger than you think but doesn't look bulky; attractive, good classic rucksack design, looks great; extremely functional; lots of space & easily fits a lot of oddly shaped stuff; excellent as a laptop & accessories pack; sturdy & well constructed; sturdy zippers; in spite of the thin shoulder straps this pack is comfortable to carry even when heavy. CONS: product description doesn't list exterior pocket measurements; side pockets should be longer to fit 1LT water bottles; shoulder & pocket closure straps need more buckle holes; no chest strap; shoulder straps are thin and get easily twisted/deformed when the pack is loaded heavily (so 4 instead of 5 stars).
i just received my new rucksack and i already love it. It is stylish without being flashy.I like the feel of the fabric and the leather and brass detailing. I do digital photography. I think this pack will be the ideal overnight pack and will double as a camera bag as well.Before deciding on this pack i looked at hundreds of photo backpacks. None of them measured up to this product in form and function.This may be the last pack i buy judging by its looks, it will last a long time.Its quality is top notch and priced right.If you are looking for a great ,multi-functional pack, look no further. This is it.
