CLOSEOUT! Sportour Laptop Backpack
Product Details
Web ID: 1216748Not quite as good as expected
I searched a long time for a perfect backpack. While this one meets the criteria on paper, in use it is not perfect. I found the luggage strap on the back very difficult to use, both inserting the suitcase handle and trying to remove it. The lightweight fabric (which I searched for) does not hold its shape, so the pack falls over every time. It is marginally too tall to fit under plane seats, although I got away with it. While there are several compartments, I don't think there are too many. The compression straps help take the pressure off of some seams and also keep the largest compartment from coming unzipped from the weight of the cargo.

Hopeful for the perfect backpack
I have not yet used the backpack on a trip. I wanted a lightweight pack with a luggage strap and a water bottle pocket on the side. I do not need a million different pockets, but I do need one pocket to be wide enough to hold my video camera case. I use a backpack as a carry-on for all the items I do not want to check (medications, electronics, cameras, paperwork, light jacket, and spare underwear if there is room). Because it gets heavy to carry all of the time, I needed the pack of have a luggage strap so I can attach the pack to my rolling suitcase whenever possible. On paper, this backpack will meet my needs.

Love it!
I was looking for a backpack that had a lot of room fir my gym gear. I saw this backpack and decided to give it a try. It was everything that I wanted and more. I love this backpack.
Great backpack
This is out favorite!! We love this because it's lightweight and holds up very well for school!!
Bought it because it is very light-weight empty
but once I filled it and did a test run (I hadn't yet cut off the tags) the entire backpack weighed down into my lower back. I couldn't keep the straps where I wanted them. So unfortunately I'm still on my quest for a new backpack as I did return this one.
Seems to be just what I need
I'm just using this for the first time this weekend. It was easy to pack. I stuffed it so it was heavy but when I put it on my back it was really comfortable and easy to manipulate. I have another backpack that is so big my friend calls it a weapon. So I really don't use it much. The other things I like about this model is that it's VERY light before you start packing it. It also has a place in the back where you can put it over the handle of a rolling suitcase.
Disappointing purchase
I really want to like this pack. I purchased it along with the rolling duffle, which is fine. I used it once to carry personal items for a trip. Within the first day, one of the shoulder straps began to pull away at the seam at top of the bag as did the yellow strap for carrying the bag. I returned it. Also note that there is no chest strap to secure the pack if you are walking with it on your back.
Light and Roomy
Great amount of room for everything that I need for a week end trip!
