Great Backpack -
I love this backpack. I bought it for school because it said it is specifically designed for women. And it is true, it is very comfortable, just the right amount of padding so it is comfortable but not bulky. This back pack is fairly small. You can't carry more than a few 3ring binders, but this is good because it prevents you from carrying around too much unnecessary stuff. I like all the compartments it has and it seems to be made of high quality materials. Highly comfortable!

Decent bag -
I use this bag for my gym clothes. It's big enough, but the loose construction makes it a bit difficult to get stuff in there. The pockets being inside is nice, you don't have to worry about stuff falling out. Overall a good bag, I just wish it was a bit stiffer inside.

Great for work!
I bought this for work. I drive a truck when I'm working and needed a heavy-duty bag. Other bags got dirty and slid around while I was working. The rubber "foot" on this bag keeps it in place and the pocket on the top is perfect for my cell phone. It's a little bulky for everyday use outside of work and not as "pretty" as my other bags. If you're looking for something useful, this is your bag.

Love, love, love this bag -
This is zip-top tote #2 for me, if that's any testament to the quality/look of the bag. I bought one in the same size about four years ago and it was stolen last week, so I bought this new one to replace it. The bag is super durable, very stylish, has excellent colors inside and out, and holds more than you'd think. I use my bag as a carry-on and for everyday use. I absolutely could not be happier with it. I also own one of the large size non-zip-top totes that I also love. Great product.

Perfect!
I ordered this and the "small" tote and was going to return one...I'm keeping them both! These are great little tote bags that will truly last forever. The rubber bottom is the reason I bought it. It makes the bag a little heavy, but it really serves it's purpose. Love this bag.

Great Camera Bag -
I bought this bag for a Canon G9 camera. Wanted a bag that can hold the camera w/ strap, battery, charger, and memory card. Holds all. Tried some of the smaller, belt attached LowePro bags and they just didn't fit everything. Only improvement that I can see for this bag, is some way to zip or more securely close the main compartment (only in the case the strap came undone). Seems durable and looks professional.

Better than a fanny pack -
I wanted something to hold keys, cell phone, etc. while engaged in moderate exercise such as walking, slow jogging and horseback riding, which was less bulky and dorky than a fanny pack. This works reasonably well. You can wear it over the shoulder with the strap adjusted short, or on your belt, and its flat enough not to create too much bulk under a jacket (assuming you haven't put something bulky-shaped in it). I don't like that the main compartment doesn't zip closed, and I'm not sure the velcro belt attachment flap will last very long (or, for that matter, the little strips of fabric that you attach the shoulder strap too--although at least it's a pretty heavy fabric).

Nice Little Bag -
I bought this as a Christmas Gift for my husband; it is a nice little "man" or woman bag. It would be great for a small camera, credit card holder, change - think of it the next time you need a place to put all of those little things when you go through airport security....

Versatile unisex mini-bag for daily use -
My husband now uses this to carry daily items that would otherwise be pocketed or clutched before inevitably getting misplaced. Now his "things" are always at hand and neatly contained, e.g., PDA/cell phone, wallet, keys, Swiss Army Knife and more (don't laugh--the tools on the knife have saved the day many times over the years)!

Ultra Pack -
I got this pack about 2 weeks before The Tahoe Rim Trail 100 endurance race. The pack performed better than I thought it would. Very little bounce as I ran and a fair amount of storage space. The mesh back panel is a great design and let my back breathe well through out the event!! I highly recommend this pack to anyone!!

Best bag ever---hands down!
This is my second Tour and I absolutely love this bag. Just the right size to fit gear for a day on the trail, or a show at the park. It's extremely adjustable and fits even my tiny frame to comfort. I love the new more padded shoulder strap. Kudos to Mountainsmith for a continued favorite of mine!

Great Bag -
This is a very well made bag. I'll be using it for short hikes carrying my digital SLR and a additional zoom lens in it's own padded lens pouch (This bag has no protective padding). The suspension straps are great and weight distribution is awesome, they keep the bag stable when youre running or climbing over obstacles.

Awesome fit on this pack. The design really does keep your lower back cool and dry. I was hoping for a little more storage space in it but if you just have keys, wallet and maybe a Power Bar, it's perfect!

Sling pack to DC -
Just got the 8L Sling pack and traveled to Washington DC for a week. Great travel bag through airports. There are compartments a plenty. It allowed me to carry everything I needed for an urban day trip through all the monuments in DC. Just wish it had a water bottle holder.

Good design -
The Mountainsmith's Sprint Lumbar is very comfortable in the most extreme heat because of the design to keep the pack away from your lower back by use of the brace and sweat does not form as it does in others. The waist strap does slip while running and should have been a secured with velcro. The pocket to hold a large iPod is too small and is not accessible while running.

The Perfect Backpack -
I love this backpack; it is the perfect size, no extra hanging straps. It is lightweight, with plenty of inside pockets, and two handy outside pockets. My laptop and books, work stuff, snacks, and anything else I need fit perfectly.

Great all purpose Bag!
I have purchased two of these Mountainsmith Tote bags, one of the gray and one of the green bags. And I think there great! It has plenty of pockets for all of my things and the interior is yellow on the inside, for easy finding. Like my magazines, water bottle and my mp3 ect. But I, use it as an Handbag" everyday. Cause it is not just for traveling. I love the fact that its water proof and it has this thick rubber that is on the bottom of each of these bags for protection, from the daily use of wear and tear. These bags have plenty of room already that, if you need more room? These bags have it! It also comes with shoulder straps as well, which is great also. Considering some places the straps cost extra.

Perfect Travel Bag!
I have been looking for this bag for YEARS! It's a cross between a weekend bag and "I'm going away for a month" bag. It has a great expansion feature and then a system of great ties to bind it down to the size you need. Handy outside pockets for stuff you want to reach for without unpacking. It was a little heavier than I thought it would be but it feels very sturdy. And no matter how you grab it to pick it up you will find a handle or strap. Very well designed and 5 BIG STARS have been earned by it from a very picky bag person.

 |  | I don't know how you guys (and girls) can get any better than you already are! Your service is excellent, and its the best online service available. I received a shoe catalog in the mail this week and saw a pair of one of my favorite shoe designers, Stuart Weitzman, sport boots. Without thinking, I got online to order them. At check-out I realized their online security wasn't adequate, so I didn't finalize my order. As they were 'new' shoes for fall I didn't think Zappos would have them yet. I should have known! Zappos not only had them, but I saved $30.00 and a longer wait to get them, and you provide a strong security web site. Having been a recent victim of Identity Theft, I can't stress enough how important this is for someone like me. I had sworn I'd never order anything online again. You are wonderful! Thank you, thank you. |  | ~ Jeanie P., August 08 2008
