Great bag for multi-use
I was looking for a bag that would work for day use, carrying books, files, and 15" laptop. It does all these well and should for a long time due to the durable materials and fine stitching. I like that the computer section suspends the laptop above the bottom. When the bag is set down (or dropped) it cushions the blow to the computer. The only negative I found is that the two side (water bottle) holders are cut from solid fabric instead of mesh. There is no way for bottle moisture (condensation) or spills to drain out - a tiny hassle. Finally, I avoided some of the larger bags because I needed to use the bag for flying. This bag slides nicely under the seat yet carries all I need.
Great Backpack
Especially for school. Fits excellent. Good weight! Holds my laptop which is 15inches no problem.
Great Pack
Have been testing/using this pack for the last few weeks, and it's great. Stitching and materials are top notch as one would expect from Mountain Hardwear, the organizational pocket is simple, yet effective. This bag may appear small, but can accommodate quite a bit with some thoughtful packing. Laptop sleeve is another useful item, and will accommodate most laptops. This pack will definitely get the job done for your next weekend hike, trip to the office, mission, or operation.
