I recently bought the Turbo Transit Pack to replace an old wheeled briefcase where the zipper had broken. When I found out that the warranty had just expired, I had to start shopping for a new bag. I commute via mass transit, and go to the gym on my lunch break some days. With the new Turbo Transit Pack, I have been able to carry all of my work materials, laptop, gym clothes in the special section on the bottom, as well as my lunch, my newspaper, my MP3 player, etc. The Turbo Transit Pack not only saved me from carrying several bags but cut down on my total weight. Now I can move through the train aisles faster, and when I get off the train I hit the ground running with all of my gear on my back. The Turbo Transit Pack is exactly what it is advertised to be. It is high quality and I know that if something goes wrong with it, L.L. Bean will take care of it.
This back pack is awesome for my boys for school. My one son actually uses the shoe compartment for his clarinet. When they are carrying around everything they need for the day this pack has a spot for it all.
Purchased this bag for my teen-age son who is in junior high school. He loves it! He has had no problem being organized since this purchase. The bottom compartment is large enough for him to store his jacket, gym equipment or lunch box. He loves all of the compartments for his technological gadgets for the bus ride to and from school. His suggestion - make it in more colors.
