When I strap on a photo back pack it's usually for the day. That means food, water and other personal items and  in most cases the backpacks out there just don't have any room for all the goodies one needs for comfort ( I have 6 packs of different sizes and styles ). This pack finally can hold all my gear, 4 lens, flash, extension rings, filters, tripod, camera, and you get the idea it has pockets for everything I own and a lot of room in the upper compartment for items like food, water, etc. It's made well out of water resistant canvas and has a hidden rain cover in the bottom pocket. It's very comfortable and hangs well off the shoulders and is supported by a wide hip strap. I'm 6 feet tall and so far the 6 hours I've worn it have been a joy.  Love this Pack.

This is a basic backpack of very good quality.  It doesn't possess any spectacular or unusual features but it does what a backpack should do very well.

Pros:
-High quality material.
-Adjustable and comfortable shoulder straps.  My son wore it all week on a San Diego vacation with no complaints.
-Handy front pocket with zipper closure.
-Both zippers on the backpack operate smoothly without any problems.
-Has a pocket on each side that can hold a water bottle or similar object.

Cons:
-None.

I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review.

The little time I have had this backpack, it has not disappointed me.  It has plenty of room and is comfortable to carry.

In the past, I have never had a High Sierra backpack.  Actually, I have never had anything from High Sierra, but I have heard that the products are of high quality and are affordable.  Now, the main use for this backpack for when college begins in August, as my JanSport has just had too much wear and tear.

When the backpack arrived, I packed it to capacity and carried it around, attempting to simulate something similar to what I will be experiencing in a little over a month.  As I was wearing it, I noticed that even though the back-padding appears thin and of little protection, my back was cushioned and the weight seemed to substantiate itself, meaning that it didn't feel like the backpack was falling off or weighing me down.

This backpack has many compartments and can hold a laptop comfortable with other books and/or supplies.  One downside is that it doesn't contain a separate laptop compartment, but things can be done to compensate for that.  There are about five compartments on the bag; one main one, two other normal sized, and two compartments that can hold smaller items such as a wallet or a smartphone.  The shoulder straps are also quite comfortable and help with adjusting the weight and assisting with posture.

I would have to say that I am impressed with this backpack, but let's see if this holds up during the rough college months ahead.

This bag holds almost as much as some backpacks. The back is comfortable and fits well on my back. The attachment of the straps is unique and very important. Note that the front attachment is on the FRONT of the bag. Almost every other bag has both attachments at the back. If the pack is heavy, the bag may not be stable and roll if both the front and back straps are at the back of the bag. It also has a large waist belt that is really comfortable. The pros out weigh the cons, but there are a couple. This great bag has NO PADDING on the shoulder straps. DUH. The expandable backpack is orange. That may be a plus, but I'd prefer it to be brown or OD green of camouflaged like the pack. Finally, the zippers are all covered well, and that's good in the rain. Be aware, though, that it makes them difficult to open on corners that are less rounded. Those corners, though, let you pack more into the bag.

It is a good-looking backpack that is of the right size and is padded where needed.  I would definitely buy this again.

This backpack holds all my books and has enough padding in the straps to be comfy to carry.  It works perfectly for what I need. Good front compartment for extras. Comfortable straps for heavy loads.

Very high quality bag. I've used this backpack everyday for about 4 months now. The straps are very comfortable, even when the bag is heavy, and don't strain my shoulders. The bag is surprisingly spacious, I've included a photo of it easily holding my laptop, notebook, 3 folders, a 1L water bottle, and my lunch inside the main compartment. My one critique of the bag is that it doesn't have an external water bottle pocket on the side, but the inside is big enough to hold one. I don't own an ipad so the ipad pocket does not perform its intended purpose, but that pocket still functions as normal pocket. Except slightly softer, they lined it with something nice.

Also, as an FYI, the bag is definitely as bright as it looks in the picture. It's orange and proud. You will never lose it. It will never blend into the background. Cars/people/bikes will see you easily. The osprey logo is a bit darker than shown and has a bit more contrast with the rest of the bag, which I like.

Works great for taking 14" laptop, notepad, cables, and a small book and is all comfortable. Pockets are good size as well.  Overall, I would recommend this bag.

Outstanding high quality backpack which comfortably fits my 17 inch laptop inside with lots of extra room. This pack is very comfortable to wear. I replaced a 20 year old day pack with this one and it was a great move.

comfortable and holds a lot. Love the drain holes in the boot part. Big compartment in the middle fits jacket, snow pants, helmet, gloves, snacks, and wallet. straps are comfortable and adjustable.

The bag arrived today and I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it is. I really like the four outside zippered compartments plus the bigger outside pocket with the magnet closure. The inside has a couple of slip pockets plus another zippered pocket.  When worn as a backpack, it is quite comfortable. However, I am returning this because the adjustable straps aren't long enough for this to be comfortably worn crossbody style. The strap is just fine as a shoulder bag, but I prefer to wear purses across the body to keep the stress off my shoulders.  I wear a size L for tops and typically I need to shorten the straps a little to keep the bag in "just the right spot". With this bag worn across the body, it is just below chest level. If the straps were maybe 4-5" longer, it would be easier to adjust to that sweet spot.

The quality of the bag is excellent. If you don't need a crossbody bag, you should give it a try.

This backpack worked well for my 3 week trip to Italy.  It fit the carry-on requirements for the airline. This and a small day-pack handled everything I needed.  Aside from the fact that there's no need to check baggage and wait around for your luggage to get spit out on the carousel after your flight, backpacks are much easier to manage then wheeled luggage when moving on foot - especially on stairs and uneven surfaces.

This Kelty 44 was fairly comfortable with lots of space in the main compartment and many smaller pockets for better organization - socks, underwear, t-shirts,etc.  Zippers and compression straps all worked well.  Waste belt and chest-strap were satisfactory for short term moderate conditions. The handle on the outside of the front compartment is a handy feature.

I'm not sure it would be rugged enough for longer term camping conditions but it worked well for routine travel!

Good backpack. Has many pockets and straps to really adjust it to the best of your fit and store items nicely. Slightly heavy because of the frame but the comfort it provides makes it worth it.
