Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Power Pack is an excellent choice for frequent business travelers, for whom organization and convenient access to electronic devices are essential. As expected, it has an inner padded section for a laptop, but Outdoor Products takes it a step further by including two external power adapter pockets that open up to the inner laptop compartment. With this feature, you can charge your laptop without removing computer from the pack - great when you're sitting at the airport and need to recharge. Two front zipper compartments provide space for all manner of gadgets, including a cell phone, PDA, CD player, and CDs in a detachable disc holder, as well as keys, pens, and more. In all, there are 18 pockets, including mesh pockets for cables, a side pocket for a water bottle, and a quick-stash front mesh pouch with quick release buckle.

As with all day packs made by Outdoor Products, the Power Pack has a deluxe padded back with their Air Way back cooling system, which allows air to travel to hard-to-reach places. For extra comfort, padded shoulder and sternum straps help support the weight of the fully-packed bag. Side compression straps keep the items inside tightly packed during travel. The Power Pack has a capacity of 3,100 cubic inches. It measures 18 x 13.5 x 6 inches, and weighs 3 pounds, 3 ounces.

About Outdoor Products
Outdoor Products is a worldwide outdoor sporting goods manufacturer, established in 1973.

This retail establishment was noted for a wide array of merchandise and was the primary source for outdoor gear in Southern California during that time. The experience of buying and selling outdoor gear eventually led the Outdoor Products family to designing and manufacturing their own goods. Eventually, the new product line became the hottest-selling items in all their four floors of retail space. Outdoor Products no longer has their department stores but they still continue in their longtime retail commitment to customer satisfaction. This commitment is backed by an unrivaled lifetime guarantee and a desire to create the most innovative, quality designs at an unbeatable price for outdoor enthusiasts and novices alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Durable, Functional, Large Capacity, almost perfect backpack, May 25, 2005

This hard to find laptop backpack is probably one of the best constructed, well thought-out pieces of luggage I've seen in years. It easily accomodates laptops with widescreen displays up to 15.4"

An often overlooked benefit with purchasing this brand is that, unlike Targus backpacks, or other laptop luggage makers, this bag doesn't scream "HIGH VALUE LAPTOP WITHIN. STEAL ME!"

PROS:

The external power adapter pockets are great for charging up your laptop without removing your computer or the adapter during a layover or when you arrive home. Just unzip the pocket and plug the cord into an outlet.

The side mesh compartment is large enough to fit a 32oz. Nalgene bottle. This backpack is one of the few laptop backpacks that can accomodate such a large water bottle.

The individually labeled storage pockets are easily identifyable by black icons on an orange background for your PDA, USB cables, ethernet, additional adapters, CD player, cell phone, etc. The multitude of individual pockets help keep things organized and within easy reach for removal and storage.

The top mounted handle has a large, clear rubber grip which makes carrying your bag short distances from room to room convenient and comfortable.

The dual main compartments have a large capacity which allows you to carry your laptop and additional textbooks or files.

The compression straps help keep the form factor of the bag compact when you're not trasporting large loads, while they aid in keeping heavier loads balanced.


CONS:

The zipper pulls are either too small or only have pulls on the main compartment. Larger and brighter zipper pulls for all zippers would improve access.

There is not a side loading zipper for easy removal and storage of the laptop during airport security checks.

The height of the exterior front mesh comparment is too short. It is not very practical as you can't fit much in the existing compartment. If the mesh netting was a little taller it would be a great pocket to store airline tickets or boarding passes so they're within easy reach.

The interior color of the backpack should be white or a lighter shade of gray to aid in finding small accessories such as adapters,pens, and pencils that can be overlooked with the existing gray color scheme.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, August 29, 2007

Mr. Nosey "SBT" (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Outdoor Products Powerpack Travel Laptop Backpack (Sports)

I bought this pack for my first year of graduate school. I was initially impressed with how light and comfortable it is, but was somewhat put off by the absurd number of compartments (however, if you like to have a seperate compartment for each thing you want to put in the pack, this is the one for you). Admittedly, I put this bag through a serious amount of use. At times I used it to carry my 15-inch Powerbook, adapter, iPod, numerous textbooks, folders, spare jacket, etc. I carried heavy loads in this pack on a regular basis. After two semesters of use I was disappointed to discover that one of the shoulder straps was ripping away from the top of the pack. This turns out to be unsurprising given how "light" the pack is overall. A close inspection reveals that little if any of the stitching is reinforced, and that the materials used are not of very high quality. However, if you don't carry heavy loads or abuse this pack very much, I imagine it will last longer than mine did.

Wow what a great bag. IT fits all kinds of stuff plus has great support with comfy padding and a chest strap! It's also great because it doesn't scream "laptop inside" for those who might be looking to take it off your hands. Highly recommended!
