Pretty Good, Will RecommendOct 26, 2009 I like the backpack, maybe a little too many straps though. I mainly bought it for carrying books and my laptop and it works great, especially with heavy weight. I will also put it to use when snowboarding. Overall it's a good backpack, I would recommend it.
Great Day Pack /light backpacking back for a terriffic priceSep 29, 2009 I bought the black one and paid $49.95. What a bargain! I have paid much more money for much less pack. It's well made, comfortable, easy to organize and great for a grab and go hike. I wouldn't load 50 lbs of books in it and you can't use it for a four day backpack trip, but I have to carry a lot of water for my dog and this pack is a blessing. I have an arthritic shoulder and this pack gets the weight off of the painful spots and shifts it to the hip belt. I love it!
Great productSep 28, 2009 I never heard of this brand before. I brought this product and are pretty happy with it. But there are not too many pockets to hold all the stuff. There are only one main pocket in the front. If you are a neat freak this is not the product for you.

Good for a Day PackAug 28, 2009 This Pack is divided so it makes it very hard to fit alot of stuff into it. I used it on a 28 mile hike and after camping for the 2 days in the middle of the hike I managed to rip off one of the side straps and rip the top handle almost off. But I did over pack it. Not bad for the price though. Comfortable fit I am 5'9" and medium build.

Exactly what I was looking forAug 10, 2009 I was looking for a backpack that I can use for both day hikes and for backpacking (I pack light when i go backpacking!). This pack is extremely comfortable, and has the perfect amount of storage for carrying all my gear. It has a sternum strap (which has elastic so it doesn't constrict your breathing), and a waist strap. padding on all the straps, and the padding on the back of the pack itself, is plenty comfortable. There is a phone/mp3 player pouch on the left shoulder strap, and the top of the pack has a special thru-hole for use with a water bladder.
My only complaint is that the zippers are a bit tricky to use. The zippers seem pretty durable, but it can be a pain in the butt if you have to unzip and zip the pack frequently. I think other reviewers pointed this out too. It isn't a deal-breaker, it's just kind of annoying. There is a fabric strip that covers the zippers (like most backpacks have), and if you pull it away from the zipper before you try to unzip the pack, it is much easier.
As far as capacity is concerned, I am able to fit all my backpacking gear (sleeping back, tent, food, fishing gear, etc), my full-size camera tripod that collapses to 15", and two 1-quart bottles in the mesh side pockets.
