BOMBER PACK

Rating:*****

This pack is the beez-neez! It's the perfect pack for someone who is obsessed with being ready for anything whether it be on your favorite trail or a bike commute to work or class. Lots and lots of pockets and nooks and crannies to this pack. The stretchy front mesh pocket is brilliant...I've put my helmet, light rain jacket, t-shirts, you name it in that thing making it so easy to shed layers without going out of your way to stuff them down in the pack or risk losing them through improv. storage. The sunglass pouch is smartly located on the front side of the rear main zip preventing your cargo from crunching your shades. The water bladder pouch is huge and has the potential for making this pack a comfortable one nighter in the woods if ever needed. I could tell this was a sturdy pack when either a strap or loop on my pack got hung up on my storm door handle and broke the door handle right off...more concerned about my pack than the handle I scanned my pack for a hole or damage and it didn't have a scratch or tear. ENOUGH SAID...THIS IS A GREAT PACK WORTH THE MONEY

This pack is exactly what I wanted... Plenty of space, the laptop compartment is padded at the bottom, front mesh pocket is very versatile, fits superb, more than enough pockets, good construction quality, and it was relatively cheap considering I switched from the Arcteryx Blade 24 (which I don't recommend). I'm going to use this exclusively as a school pack, but since I've recieved it, I can tell it's going to get many more uses. This is only the 2nd MH product I've bought, and I must say they won me over with this one. 5 stars.

B-awesome pack

Rating:****
I use this pack mostly for college and it works excellent. I've used it for a daypack as well and it's a little on the heavy side but overall I'm very impressed. I've had this pack for nearlly a year and it looks brand new, all the zippers work fine, and it shows very little sign of wear. The only beef I had was with the sunglasses pouch, if you like bent sunglasses then it's perfect but otherwise it's worthless

"The best pack I have ever owned. Period."

Rating:*****
If you like to bike, hike, climb, carry books, or just look cool this is the pack! I was a little worried about not seeing it before I purchased it but it was far better than what I expected. It can hold a bike helmet and all my books for class. I also use it while collecting rocks. It is very durable, I used it for 45 days in Antarctica carrying heavy rock samples everyday. Just buy it.

"The backpack of your dreams"

Rating:*****
This is the best backpack I've ever had. For anybody who as struggled to keep their load supported, tackled self-opening zippers, or suffered through an uncomfortable fit, this bag addresses all of those problems. The cut of the bag, high zipper placement and the comfortable mesh backing and straps makes this pack extremely comfortable to wear. The build quality seems really good and the pack looks cool too.

Phenomenal!

Rating:*****
This pack is awesome, tons of room. I am able to pack a change of clothes and extra shoes and I still have room for books. Side pouches are great for other items like water bottles or a bike seat cover. Plenty of phenomenal pockets inside. The back support really fits well on my back and it distributes the pressure nice and evenly.

"Buy it and give your old bag to someone who needs it."

Rating:*****
I needed a bag that had a place for everything. This bag is it. My laptop fits snugly and the tether keeps it secure. Baby nalgenes basically disappear in the outer side pockets. You'll sit there for hours trying to figure out how so much stuff can fit into a normal bag. Mountain Hardwear really hit a home run with this design.

Rockin Pack.

Rating:*****

This is a really well built pack. Lots of storage space inside which is well thought out.Small detail pockets are placed in good spots. Stiching and materials are first rate. Space for computer is right on. Waist belt is basically a strap. For me, travelling and the occaisional day outing, its more than enough.

"Pretty sweet!"

Rating:****
As a school backpack, I would say that this bag is a little big, but it is great for organizing everything and carrying a laptop. I have taken it with me on a weekend hike, and it conformed to my body very well. It has plenty of room for everything I needed.

"Great Bag, Lots of Pockets"

Rating:*****
A little long for those of us of the short persuasion but a great backpack overall. It has a plethora of pockets and the main compartment holds considerably more than it looks. This backpack is great for everyday use and is big enough for longer trips as well.
