great product, great price!
THIS IS A GREAT BACK PACK. I PURCHASED IT TO HOLD ABOUT FIFTY POUNDS OF SCHOOL BOOKS THAT GET TRANSPORTED TO AND FROM SCHOOL EVERY DAY. IT IS AFTER ALL A NORTH FACE. IT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE THAT THEY HOLD UP THE BEST. I'VE TAKEN OTHERS ON BACK PACK SNOWMOBILE TRIPS IN THE ADIRONDACKS AND UPPER CANADA. I USE ONE FOR MY GEAR FOR MY SWAT TEAM. THEY ARE ALL STILL GOING STRONG. NO TEARS, ZIPPERS ALL WORK, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I'VE SEEN SOME OF MY TEAM MATES WITH OTHER BRANDS. THEY DON'T TAKE THE ABUSE LIKE A NORTH FACE. THE PRICE HERE WAS VERY REASONABLE. I SHOPPED THEM FOR OVER AN HOUR. SHIPPING WAS WITHIN LESS THAN A WEEK. NICE JOB ALTREC! I'LL BE BACK FOR MORE STUFF!!

Great
I'm a dude who didn't want a huge pack to take to school. The old mentor looked terrible compared to this one. It looks really sick, especially in black. A lot of room but not too big. Really great.

Well constructed but not enough room
This daypack is very sturdy and will probably hold up well. The fabric, zippers, and stitching all seem durable. However, it only holds the laptop and one binder and book, tops. It works for one class, not for someone who wants to set off for a day's worth of classes. The fabric doesn't have give, either, so it doesn't stretch to accommodate just a little bit more.

THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE MORE TO THE BAG!
BAG IS ALRIGHT. NOT A VERY BIG BAG, BUT I CAN SEE IT APPEALING TO SOMEONE IN COLLEGE. IF IT DIDN'T SAY IT WAS A LAPTOP BAG, I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS AN ORDINARY BOOK BAG WITH A BIG INNER SLEEVE. PADDING FOR THE LAPTOP IS MINIMAL, AND THERE IS NO WAY TO SECURE A LAPTOP IF IT IS UNDER 17". I WOULD SAY IT IS A GREAT EVERYDAY BAG, BUT NOT SO MUCH OF A LAPTOP BAG.
