This has two outside mesh pockets deep enough to carry water bottles, and looks good.  Other than that it’s just a cheap backpack.This pack had the two features that I have been trying to find for several years.  I wanted a small pack to use for day hikes that had two outside mesh pockets, one on each side, with elastic at the tops, to carry water bottles.  I also wanted it...

Going to school these days is no simple task I tell you that. Crazy children long tiresome classes and a whole bunch of projects, tests and exams is enough to be a burden on many a kid's shoulders however thankfully the new Nike Total 90 bag helps ease our load a little. I must say at first glance I thought I was never ever going to fit all my books in it but when I opened the main zip I wa...

I bought this bag because I am doing boxing and I needed a larger gym bag. It is very light weight when it's empty - probably less than a pound. It is made of Polyester. The color I bought was Black and Grey but you could also get it in Sky Blue and Electric Blue. Inside the bag is very large and it even has a built-in shoe bag. You actually access the shoe bag from a zippered pocket placed...

As you know, it is back to school time. My sons are going into the 8th grade this year. They go back and forth from year to year on whether or not to carry a backpack. This year they decided they wanted one. So, on our annual trip to WalMart for school supplies, Jamie picked out this basic backpack by Eastport.They have used Eastport backpacks before and they always lasted very well. I think th...

In the end, they tear and rip. But in the end, these ones don't! Roots backpacks are the longest lasting backpacks. They have several pockets and easy to organize. No matter how much load or put in them, these ones won't rip that early. Roots come in many colours and are very spacious. You can attach your headphones and listen to music as well.In less than a year, some part of the bag w...

Before traveling with my 2-year old, I spent time researching what type of gear I would need.  I was traveling to amusement parks and on a cruise.  I knew I would need something easy to grab and go and that would fit everything I would need for both her and me. I was looking for simplicity!Simplicity is what I found in the Messenger Sling bag by Baggallini.  It came highly recomm...

The kindergarten of today is no longer about fingerpainting and singing songs....there is actual homework and even some projects involved!  So when my son started Kindergarten, I took him to L.L. Bean to buy a good quality backpack.  I knew that this backpack would need to withstand lots of abuse, so I didn't mind spending $40 on it.  My son chose a deep blue....a great color...

My daughter has a ton of Webkinz. She has been longing for a Webkinz backpack. We finally got this one for her. Its soft and fuzzy. The colour is pink and has the pink straps so she can just throw it over her shoulder when she has sleepovers. It also has a velcro button to close the Webkinz in that she chooses to take in it. This one can hold five of her Webkinz in it.&...

I have had this backpack for as long as I can remember, which is probably about 8 years.  I've used it everyday at school for those 8 years, and it hasn't worn out on me.  Eastpak certainly makes quality products; I remember when I bought it it had a tag that said "built for life."It's still comfortable but durable, and holds plenty of books.  Since it is co...

At the beginning of this school year, our search for a new backpack lead us to The Disney Store, where we happened upon this brightly colored Disney Fairies backpack that my daughter LOVED!  Its primary color is a deep purple, my daughter's favorite!  Since I tend to steer my kids toward dark-colored backpacks (read: dirt-hiders!), this backpack was right up my alley!  There ...

I bought this backpack because I wanted something smaller and less complex then all the other backpacks I've previously owned. They were all filled with way too many compartments and needless pockets. This one had one large compartment, and two small compartments in the front. It was pretty lightweight and easy to carry around. Also it wasn't super bulky and didn't have any weird bu...

I have Ralph Lauren Polo blue back pack which I pretty much take it everywhere with me. It has 2 large zipper areas for bigger items as well as 2 smaller zipper pockets for smaller items. It also on each side of it has a cell phone holder and a water bottle or drink holder. I have taken this backpack to and from the gym containing clothes and personal items. I have taken this backpack on trips ...

  The Baggallini is perfect for theme parks, camping and hiking, as well as everyday use. It comes with an adjustable strap which can be carried over one shoulder or around and over your neck.  You can place it more on your back or side or front of your body, which is great when you are walking many miles.  The strap has a zippered compartment that can store credit cards, li...

I bought this pack for light duty use, and it has not held up even to that standard.  It was too expensive for such poor quality.There is only one thing that I really like about this pack, and it is the one reason that I bought it.  I needed a pack with something of a frame (this one is internal with aluminum stays), that did not have any part of the pack above my shoulders.  I w...

JanSport- I love these backpacks. They have one they call the Big Student. I love this backpack because it has lots of pockets.  It has five pockets that allow you to stay organized. It has the two large main pockets. Then it has three pockets in the front that are smaller for things like cell phones, pencils, calculator etc. One pocket can be used to store electronics like an iPod or a ...

I bought a Roots backpack for my son about 3 years ago and it is the same backpack he has been bringing to school for 3 years. I love Roots backpacks, because the backpacks are made of fine quality and don't tear or rip as easily as others do. They are also very appropriate for school, in the sense that the backpacks have pockets different sizes so that you can fit different things into you...

I own this Dickies bag  about 3 years ago and until now, its still usable. I bought this one before because I needed a bag pack for some out of town trail adventure. Looking at the local mall in my place, I notice this back at a Dickies store and  the design and the color even caught my attention even at first glance.  It looks neat and simple to me and my instinct really was to ...

I purchased this backpack / laptop case for work and trips. It's extremely well made and well worth the money. The laptop compartment is incredibly padded for extreme protection. My only two complaints: 1.) a few additional organizational compartments for smaller items would have been nice 2.) it's a bit large/cumbersome - even though it can handle a 17" laptop the structured back makes...

My previous pack was a Kelty Super Tioga, an external frame pack which carries almost 6000 ci of crap while weighing 8 lbs! So the atmos was quite a change being internal, ultralight (at only 3 lbs, i have only seen a few packs lighter, and none with a frame), and fairly small (3000 ci).My atmos is to small for me, I really should've gotten a large, however, it still works fine, and with lo...

I bought the North Face backpack three years ago and I am loving it. It is my first North Face backpack and was the most expensive backpack I have ever bought. But, it worth every penny I paid for because of its size, durability and design. I have been using this backpack for school, travelling, grocery and outdoor activities and it is still going strong. This design features a laptop sleeve wh...
