great backpack, really. Comfy, has awesome perks like a an anti-rain coat that you can pull out as needed. However, the buttons on mine, two of them, fell out within the first week of wearing it.

This is a great computer bag. It has plenty of room to carry extras. It has plenty of padding for protection. Also, if you must carry it in the rain, it has a rain cover built in on the bottom of the bag. Just pull it out of the compartment and stretch it over the bag.... neat.

When I first started looking I really liked this thing and all the features, but since I wanted it for when I ride my motorcycle I've experienced the downsides of the bag. I wish my experience were more positive, specially since I paid almost $80 for a backpack, but the features are all good-natured however they seem to have fallen flat.

When it was delivered it didn't have the attached key fob piece inside the front compartment, but I didn't think that made a big difference so I thought I'd try it out. The "fits most 15" laptops" claim is pushing it a bit. The 'hidden' compartment for the laptops has the same curve as the top outside of the bag, but is a smaller diameter, which means my 14" Toshiba felt as if it barely fit. Having the built-in rain cover is nice, but it creates some annoying lumps at the bottom of the bag which means a non-flat surface for books and laptops to rest on. I thought about taking it out to refold it, but I could tell it was so rigid I didn't want to even mess with it. The cell phone pocket looks like it would fit one of the old Nokia's, but I didn't even try to put my Droid in it as I knew there was no chance - it's not very wide of a pocket. The side pockets might be able to fit a small 16oz. water bottle, but not much bigger. The biggest thing was that the chest strap broke on me the first day I tried to ride with it. I need that chest strap to help keep the weight spread evenly on the shoulders and it's not sewn onto the shoulder straps, it has a small piece that will let it slide up and down. It didn't take much pressure to make it pop off. I could try to put it back on, but I'd rather have my $80 back and keep riding with my rucksack. I can also see how the other person mentioned their buttons popped off. The way they're attached is really good, but potentially loose.

If you just want a nice backpack with great features for commuting to school or work by car, foot, or metro, this would be great. When I ride my bike I need to pack whatever bag I'm using pretty full, and this just doesn't seem to fit my needs, which is sad cause I thought it would give me what I needed.

Side-note: the description for this bag is vague (mentions olive in the title but black pic and describes it as black). I contacted STM and just so you know the model number ending in -1 is Olive and -3 is the black one. The title is correct in this case.

I jsut got this bag today and its pretty slick. The pull out rain cover is awesome and pretty snug, and there is a tuck away waist belt in the back lining. Its also pretty rugged, the laptop portion (the large back one) is lined with what feels like plastic sheets, the rigid kind, so that makes me feel pretty good when i put computer or xbox stuff in there.

only thing though is it says the laptop thing is hidden... well it sorta is but don't count on someone going through your bag and missing it. Its pretty obvious where it is, but it can kinda tuck away under the zipper flap. Other than that the pads are thick and its an overall rigid construction. thanks stm.

After long reviews and you tube videos i had to order this bag. looks good, and i like all the features that it offers. It does say for 15 inch, but it is perfect for 13s. I have a 13 MBP with incase cover and it fits great. Pockets seem to fit my needs, and the big pocket will get some use once i get back to school. i do not carry books, so its good if big pocket is not that big, even though it is. Many have not like it because of the overall space it offers, but just look and review all the different bags out there. It took me many trial and errors to finally hold this bag. Always take in consideration your needs, and wants. The padding is great. Straps for chest, and waits are good, but i will take them off, i do not need them. Its a backpack not a hiking pack, so dont try to jam your whole house in it and expect the straps to do magic. You try to get the best bang for your buck, but cmon people will still complain even if it cost 20 bucks. Rain cover is pretty good add-on. The reason i gave it four stars is because the laptop cover would be great if it had a zipper instead of Velcro, but hey the Velcro does the trick too! Happy bag hunting everyone.

I got it as a replacement for the old revolution M because I didn't like the new one's flat exterior, I thought this one would look kind of cool and tough. Not really, the buttons on the front make it look like a bib or a pair of boobs or something, and its far smaller than it looks, at least new, I wanted something slightly bigger than the revolution m and this, at least brand new is definitly smaller. On top of that the "comfort back padding" angles directly into my back so its just makes rug burn right on the side of my spine. The chest strap easily pops off and the laptop case section is harshly angled so the 15" thing is nonsense its really 13". The exterior pockets are useless as well, if you put any reasonable amount of stuff inside, the exterior pockets wont hold anything, and the side pockets even empty wouldn't hold a full plastic water bottle i honestly have no idea what could go in them. Its much more for looks then practicality, and I think ill probably return it at the end of this weekend and go for a swiss army
backpack.
