The bag can carry much more than the average backpack can, due to its reasonable shape. The bag has very little wasted space when I put my books in the bag, as the bag is not overly tall, like the Ful backpacks I've tried. This backpack also lasts far past expectations and came with a lifetime warranty. It has plenty of useful pockets and storage space. The bag also has much better support than many comparable bags. I would also like to see an extra water bottle pouch.

This backpack has been excellent so far. Working at a camp I need a backpack that can withstand extensive abuse. This backpack has trudged through the mud, rain, and dust and is still all in one piece. All zippers and seams are still in perfect working order. A nice part is the rain cover. Its handy compartment keeps the rain fly from becoming bothersome in another pouch. Often times I have to carry a lot around with me and the Access can take care of that. Everything has its own pouch. A con though is there is only one place for a water bottle. A second mesh pocket would be helpful.

The backpack is great! The elastic shoulder straps add extra comfort and lighten the load. The back padding is also great. Although there are a ton of pockets, the backpack is well organized and built and it holds a lot of stuff, including my 15.6" laptop (with extra room). The straps can be tightened to pull the backpack together so that the weight is centered and I often go hiking, so this pack will make a great day pack as well. I've had no problems so far.

Got the High Sierra Access Backpack couple days ago, took it for a trip during the memorial day weekend. Plenty of space. You can also slip in a laptop in it securely. The straps are comfortable even on long walks. Product quality is excellent.

This backpack seems very well made and durable, I think that the rain cover is a plus especially for keeping your laptop dry. The reason I give it four stars is because the picture shows padded waist straps (which is the reason for the tuck-away compartment) and my backpack did not have any (just had regular straps) this wasn't really a big deal though but they were shown in the picture so if you are looking for them beware yours may not have it. Mine also did not have the zippered waterbottle side compartment (its just a regular mesh waterbottle holder). Overall its a very well made backpack with plenty of room and I was surprised out how nicely my 15 inch notebook fits in the compartment. Recommended for school and traveling. (I ordered the navy blue color in case your wondering)

The product is described in the following manner- " Best of all, the bag comes with both backpack straps and a carrying handle, giving you several carrying options in a pinch." The item has only one strap and should not be compared to a backpack having two. It does have a carrying handle.

This made it so easy to carry around the snorkel equipment. It fits my water bottle, fins, mask, snorkel, and snorkel skin easily. The mesh at the top and bottom of the bag allows for drainage and air flow. I also have a fish ID card that I clipped to the bag so we could quickly identify the beautiful tropical fish we saw as soon as we got back on board the boat.

Worked great on a recent snorkeling trip - plenty of room for gear & a small towel. A waterproof pocket would be nice, as would a second shoulder strap, but for the money you can't beat it!

Bag perfectly fits fins, mask, snorkel, tubes and water shoes with room left over for small items. Just what I was looking for.

We got one of these for each of our US Divers snorkeling gear. We went to Puerto Rico & Culebra, using these bags daily. The bags held up perfectly: its nice to have a light weight bag that holds your gear, and has room for sun screen, rash guard, etc. easily cleans off in the shower, keeps your gear safe. We snorkeled extensivly, this bag is going on our next trip!

This is a great bag if you don't need a lot of space. But at this price I was expecting more. Should've carefully looked at the picture with the basketball at its side - that's probably not even a full-sized basketball. Ended up returning mine (Amazon is excellent in that aspect!)

Good quality bag with lots of space. Love the shoe or wet compartment on one end and Ball net on the other end. Shoulder strap is comfortable and can be extended to be very long. I recently used it on a weekend trip and used the mesh net for odd ball toiletries that i didn't want leaking on my clothes. And fit enough clothes for my wife and I for the whole weekend. Great product.

I'm in the process of moving out of my dorm room right now and i was able to fit almost all the contents of my dresser into my bag. The only thing I had to leave out were my shoes!

Bag is made of good quality material.Only thing i didn't like was the mesh for holding basket ball was a bit small .

I almost shouldn't be doing a review on the backpack. I'm not of the era that really uses them, and I gave it to a friend to use for an European vacation as a carry-on. Was going to use it for a camera bag, but subsequently found a great bag that fits my gear and is not so bulky. Now the review- both I and my friend agree that this is of excellent quality with useful features, and more than a great value for the price.If you're of the backpack persuasion, go for it.

This is a handy daypack and was an excellent value for the price. It holds a small laptop computer and seems to be well made and sturdy. I got mine as a Today's special for 14.99 and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for an everday bag for carrying a laptop and several other items.

Its a good backpack, not a great deal of protection for your laptop, but adequate.

This backpack is good for school. It has a large main compartment with a padded computer sleeve (holds a 15" laptop computer). The padding isn't all that great...I can feel the computer pushing up on my back when I ride my bike to campus. The bag also has two dual mesh pockets that can hold two 0.5 liter water bottles, which is great for biking. The media (cell phone, I-Pod, etc.) pocket on one of the straps is really small. It won't hold most cell phones and it definitely wont hold any of the older generation I-Pods. Overall, a decent bag.

Good size Good material space well distributed Nice look I gave it four stars because the pc protector is not very safe.

My wife and I used this for our first time snorkeling in Maui and it was a pretty decent little bag. We could carry our fins, masks and snorkels, but it did get a little crowded after that. If we end up snorkeling on a regular basis, I might opt for a larger bag or a second one of these, so we could each have our own. One huge improvement would be a dry pocket that you could put a phone, but for a simple snorkel bag, it's pretty good and I felt I got what I paid for.

The only reason I give this a 4 star review, is that I would have liked a second sholder strap at times when you are carrying a lot, and it slides off the one shoulder. Most of the time one is sufficient, but I guess I am just a two-shouldered backpack geek. Other than that, it is perfect. I love the capacity. We fit two full sets of gear (Fins, masks, and snorkels) without mashing anything important. That even left a little room for something to go in the outer pocket, but we didn't need that much. The quality is great. It is sturdy, and still has good drying ability when putting things away wet.

This bag provided great space for my fins, mask and accessories without added bulk. Easy to get in overhead bin on plane and easy to carry in crowded airport. A great purchase for travelling.

bag holds 2 pairs of fins, 2 snorkles and 2 masks and has extra pocket and straps to hold valuables and towels. It can be slung over one shoulder and carried to the beach. get it ...you will love it!

I purchased this bag for a four day trip to Oahu. I was able to carry 2 pairs of 22 inch fins plus my mask in the main pouch plus an additional mask and sunscreen in the smaller pouch. The bag is sturdy and I know that I will get several more uses out of it without a problem. I did alot of walking with the bag and the strap was comfortable, even when I was wearing it and carrying a kayak at the same time. This is a good bag for the money!

This bag is roomy enough to hold 5 snorkel sets and 5 pairs of fins. We used it as a carry on bag for all our equipment on the plane and on the beach. Simple and comfortable, no dry pocket though, as was mentioned in the description, so I gave this product four stars.

We bought this back in Feb., 2007, more than 3 years ago. We used it whenever on vacation to carry snorkeling gear for the entire family or toys to the beach. It's large enough to hold snorkeling gear for 4 people - we could easily fit four U.S. Divers Cozumel Mask, Seabreeze Dry Snorkel, and Proflex II Fin Snorkeling Sets in it. It's also used by one of our kids, twice weekly, whenever he goes to the gym. Well, after three years of intense usage it looks today as good as it did more than 3 years ago and today's price is not one penny higher than what we paid then. It's probably worth saying that this bag has no pockets whatsoever. It's designed for carrying 'things' that sometimes are wet and the mostly 'mesh' sides ensure that water, possibly sand, drain quickly. It's made of what is clearly a very good quality nylon, complemented by the rubbery plastic mesh seen in the picture. There is a big zipper, an adjustable shoulder strap and handles for hand-carrying that can be joined together with a Velcro and that's it. Like I said, three years later, everything works and the bag looks as good today as it did the day it was delivered. We are going to use it again this summer on our vacation.

Good H/D bag, mine showed up as an all black Aqualung bag, pretty happy because the one pictured kind of looks lame. Big enough to carry my BCD, wetsuit, fins/snorkel/mask, and my regulator set up. Comes with a shoulder strap as well.

nice sturdy bag but beware it does not come with dry pocket. just a bag with no pockets.

The Bag is very roomy, but there is no inside dry pocket, bring a hefty bag if you don't want your wallet or phone to get wet. So disappointed that there is not a dry pocket on this bag because that would put it over the the top.
