I usually love Dakine's products, and this one looked exactly as pictured when it arrived in the mail, I thought it was a great quality. However, when I wore it hiking in yosemite it was VERY uncomfortable. The strap near your neck hits you all wrong, and gave me a neck ache. I adjusted the straps but there was no way to really fix it. I think this backpack would be fine for short periods of time, but not for hiking.

I TOTALLY love this backpack! I got it in the Ocean Plaid color... SOO PRETTY...LOVE IT! Today is Wednesday- I bought it on Monday and it got here this afternoon.. so it came really quickly!! I also love the laptop pocket, and it's really padded(probably about 1/2 an inch). Actually the entire backpack is fairly padded itself, which is great,and means it will probably hold up fairly well, and probably wont leak if it gets wet. The organizer pocket is great too, I have a Razr Cell phone and a Ipod Nano, and they fit perfect, I even had my head phones wrapped around my ipod and it still fit. Also the mesh zipper pocket is pretty roomie.. my cash, coins and student ID fit in there great..The fleece pocket is huge and very soft, I fit two pairs of glasses and my digital camera in there, and you can still barely tell there's anything in it. Amazon also gave me a amazing deal on it. If you sign up for their credit card, they give you a $30 discount.. All in all this backpack ended up costing me $26.23. You can't hardly buy a store brand backpack for that.. so I'm totally impressed. I would deffinately buy more DaKine products.. I think their patterns are so adorable.. they even had a purse that matches my backpack... next purchase perhaps? probably! I will report back if I find any flaws with my purchase... but until then.. I'm a totally happy Camper!!!

This bag rocks!! i love it! its the perfect fit for my laptop, has a compartment for my sunglasses, cell phone, ipod..etc. even an insulated pocket so i can put cool stuff in it! amazing bag, totally worth every penny! and great designs also!
