How many text books could fit inside this bag?

Of course this depends on the thickness of the text books. However, as I look at the texts in my book shelf I would say it will hold 2 of my thickest books (about 2" each) and a notebook, or 3-5 thinner text books.There is a lot of storage for everything else like calculators, pens, Ipod, phone, etc.

I would say 4 large text books. I wouldn't recommend for school. I use it for laptop & some work files.

My daughter carries about 3 large textbooks along with notebooks, folders and her iPad in this bag. It however does not hold her 15 inch laptop. Hope this helps.

Hi Luke, yes this bag would for sure hold a text book and a spiral notebook or two depending on how wide. Very roomy, but not bulky.

I thought the compartment for everything-that-is-not-your-computer was tiny, but then I discovered that if you unbuckle the two straps on the sides of the backpack, then the the aforementioned compartment can easily fit three large textbooks, my binder, my gym shoes, my laptop chord, a change of clothes, and my water bottle/thermos. In conclusion, anything compressible, like clothes, will easily fit in this bag; even three days worth of clothes will be fine (unless it's an overstuffed downy winter coat-then it would just be the coat).

Yes , I currently have 1 5-subject notebook , my math handbook , 3 notebooks & pens , pencils , erasers , sharpener and everything fits perfectly but you can't put textbooks it'll be too heavy for it , i suggest getting a locker for the books

I would say yes, I wouldn't put a ton of books inside. Find out the amount of books and folders that you're comfortable with. Then go from there. It can fit normal size binders the ones with the medium sized rings.Pens, pencils, markers, tablet all can comfortable fit inside. You can also add molle pouches to the bag. Modify it to your liking, even if you don't use it for day to day business. You will definitely find it useful for other things. But if you want larger get the Redrock Avenger.

I'm and IT guy, not a student but I think it would be great for books as long as you don't carry too many. I routinely carry my MB Air, notebook and a few files back and forth to the office, and business trips. I often have a book or tablet too. Perfect for that. If you carry 3-5 large textbooks all the time, you may be happier with a backpack. I have a Swiss backpack that I take on longer trips when I have to carry more gear.I love this bag for day to day use. It's fantastic.

Short answer yes. I too am a full time college student and use this as my primary bag. I also carry a 13 inch macbook pro where ever I go along with and iPad in this bag along with notebook or two and sometimes carry a graphing calculator. But it does get bulky when you start adding accessories and chargers etc. If the text books you use are large (e.g. my Accounting book), it will not fit. If you are planning to have ALL of your text books with you then go with a larger bag. overall the quality is great.

It is possible, but it will fit shortlly. I use a thin one and one or two books.

Gd! The book shelf holds 24-28 books per shelf depending on the sizes of each book.

Probably not. May fit a MacBook 13 and one textbook. Won't fit 3 ring binder. So unless you only carry a small laptop and occasional book you should opt for something else

I would say no. I carry my laptop and a couple of note books and a manila folder but I don't see multiple big thick college textbooks fitting well.

The compartments on the left and right couldn't hold a text book but would be good for supplies. The center compartment could easily hold standard text books. You could likely fit a few across and maybe stacked two high.

It can hold most textbooks and binders that I've used it with. In terms of how much, I never put too much but it can fit about 4 inches thick worth of books/binders/notepads. I don't advise doing so but that seems to be the spacial capacity. So while technically yes, very little. I advise using this bag for light loads, such as reading books + notebooks while avoiding binders and textbooks that are naturally just large/heavy.

Mine holds a lot of heavy textbooks, binders and notes for class, and all my food. So, I would say a lot.

I don't think you'd have a problem with the bag holding up. My only complaint was that it was too small to carry text books.

Absolutely! This bag is very large. It doubles as my bag for school. 4 college level books with a two inch binder and I still have room for a snack, my wallet, and other incidentals.

Short answer : Yes. There is not a lot of room in the top compartment but you should be able to fit 2-3 books in the front section and more in the rear section which runs down the length of the pack or you can put an ipad or small laptop in there.
