All Around Perfection

By Ranked #81 - Backcountry January 30, 2011

This backpack is the most versatile thing I have ever strapped on my back. Stuck with me through a full year of college, and after that went on a full DCI US tour with me. I have never had a single problem with this backpack. It has a ton of space to fit anything/everything you could imagine. It has an extremely spacious main compartment that also has a laptop pocket and extremely durable lining. The front pocket has 4 pen slots, 2 phone or mp3 player slots, a back wall zip pocket, and and a deep bottom. Worked out perfectly for the things I needed to be able to get to quick. The outside pockets are great for smaller things you may need like flashlights or a bottle of tylenol. Considering I am not a snowboarder, the goggle pouch works perfectly for sunglasses as well, even spacious enough to hold two pairs at one time when I was on tour. The straps are padded very well and the backpack sits squarely on the back with a nice comfortable fit; would be perfect for riding. The backpack itself is made out of super-durable materials. I've thrown this thing around a lot in the time I've had it, and it has never come out with as much as a scratch. I could probably pass it off for brand new if I tried.
This backpack is pretty much perfect. I have absolutely no complaints, and I would HIGHLY recommend this backpack to anyone. It's a great pack whether you're looking for one for school, or one for riding and heavy usage.
