Is this pack suitable for school purposes? I know its for tactical purposes, but may it be used for a university setting?

I use the black Condor as a backpack at my University. The back support is 10x better than my previous pack, which was my main purpose for getting it. The pack is not conducive, however, to carrying multiple textbooks, loose papers, and my laptop in the main pouch because everything sort of falls to the bottom. I would highly recommend the pack, but only if you buy some sort of dividers to go in the main pouch.

This pack is great for book bags! It is the same size as a typical Jansport bag, but much cooler.

Yes, it is smaller than it appears in the picture. Lots of pockets, padding could be better. I sent mine back and went back to Oakley but I needed a rugged hiking backpack.

I dont know why not. It is a great size. Has lots of room and has a place for a water bladder if you get thirsty. Also very sturdy.

That's what I use it for. I really like it. The only negative is the bag is a little narrow so some books are a little tight. I would carry my lunch, gym clothes, 2 notebooks, planner, scientific calculator, three medium textbooks, a water bottle, chrome book it's charger, and some other little things.

GI boots with a full uniform? No. Hiking shoes (not boots)? Probably, but it would be a tight fit. If this is your b.o.b. you might want something more sustainable packed in there than boots, which this pack wasn't especially designed to carry. You will be able to fit two sets of combat clothing comfortably in here, though, along with several days (3 max) of minimalist rations (MREs) and some minor gear like radios. If you have paracord, it can be lashed underneath the pack and shouldn't be in the main compartment anyway.

It sounds to me as though you're looking for the same thing I was when I bought this bag. I do property inspections so I carry camera, tape measure, small notebook, small light, etc and honestly I had high hopes for this bag and it failed miserably for my purposes. I'm sure it's a great school bag but it doesn't have the reinforcements necessary to hold it's shape or provide easy access. Don't get this bag for what you're doing. I bought a UTG Multi-functional Tactical bag and it's perfect. I also like the Bestek SLR DSLR Canvas bag for what you're doing both of these bags I got from Amazon. I carry either depending on my location. Good luck and I hope this helped.

Most definitely it would work for college. Maybe Jr college. Wish I had had one of these when I was working my way through school. The sections in the back for various subjects are a help.

Should be no problem holding a few heavy textbooks, notebooks, pencils/pens, etc. The material is heavy duty - military grade. The bag is a litlle larger than a regular size day pack.

I think it's a perfect size if they have a laptop to carry around with other stuff. However, it would be very easy to over stuff it with books and paper, which might make it too heavy. As long as they pack it wisely and don't over load it, it should work great for students!

I find it perfect for college students. However, I think it might be too big for high schoolers. Too big is better than too small though right? I must say though, most of my class-mates have smaller bags. It really just depends on you personal preference. If you have monster textbooks, a computer, and more, this bag has the space. It's really heavy as a result, but that's just going to happen. You can't really get around that.

I think you'll be fine with this pack. It wasn't very big. As for space available, I used it to hike Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs. I filled the bladder and still had room for a spare bottle, extra gloves, and snacks for the day.

Probably not a good idea as the pack is not quite that sturdy. I use mine for light day trips and hiking. I sometimes take my iPad and that's about the max size I would take. Hope this helps.

You could get two hefty textbooks, maybe three if you are ok with a bulging middle part of the bag. It's only about 3" 'deep' with three sections(laptop, tablet, and aux.) It's a great laptop around the town bag, but not sure how durable it'd be with 20lbs. of books and school stuff in it... :-l

Yes it and from my basic use I think that it is a great pack. My last pack of the same sort was Jansport, and since they have not made it in year I have turned to Guerrilla Packs. This was also a great move by doing this. So I would say that this is the pack for you.

Yes Jose, I think this would be great for school. Each section does not expand very much so if you have a lot of papers it will not work. It's made pretty sturdy so could last for awhile. Good luck.

This worked as a day pack for banging around Scotland and could hold a couple of rain jackets, snacks, maps and a bottle of water, but I can't imaging it handling a stack of books. The image makes it look roomier than it is and as another commenter noted, there is zero padding. I'd check out other options, perhaps a rolling backpack.

Yes, it could definitely fit. You may be able to find the exact dimensions online somewhere. The backpack is honestly pretty huge compared to a normal school-type pack (the north face etc.)

This is the best backpack I have ever owned, I am a junior in high school. So yeah you should be good.

Coats, yes, no problem. Backpacks, it depends how heavy. Sounds like you are at an elementary school, you should probably be okay.
