I was surprised at the quality of this product. It is very well made. I am using it for my photography accessories and there is an amazing amount of room in this bag. I apparently didn't pay attention to the dimensions as it was a little bigger than what I expected, but I have put it to use and love it! This is a superb value for the price.

Numerous pockets are great; see additional reviews about how awesome this pack is at holding lots of stuff. The strap is thin and has a “purse” feel to it (since I’m male I’m a bit worried about looking like I’m carrying a purse). One huge problem is that the strap’s buckle doesn’t fit under the strap’s pad. This means that the buckle digs into my back when I sit on the train seats. I suppose I could buy a better, thicker strap. But those start at around $10 which means that this bag would then cost ~$30. I also don’t suspect I’ll ever use the “fanny pack”. Another complaint is that the water bottle pockets don’t really hold water bottles. They may be able to hold 12/16 oz water bottles, but at the expense of the main compartment’s capacity. I carry 32 oz water bottles, so I have to put them in the main compartment, which isn’t a big deal. I suspect that if you want to use those pockets with a 12/16 oz bottle, then the main compartment can’t be full. Those are the two main complaints that I have. Sure there are better day packs out there, but they are far more expensive. In other words, this is the best value possible. It’s a great “starter” day pack for those who are just getting into hiking or venturing into the city and want to bring a book, camera, and a water bottle.
