Used Pelican MPB25 Water Resistant 25L Backpack, Black undefined

The laptop sleeve doesn't reach all the way down to the bottom (which makes sense for protection) so it will fit up to a 12 inch tablet/laptop.
I have a 14.6 inch that perfectly fits into the outer part but not the protective sleeve itself.

Nice that it has adjustable chest straps but something about it feels awkward since bigger bags will have both chest and waist straps.

The front and top zippered pockets are a bit smaller than you'd think and the secure zipper loops are useful but just as annoying to fasten/unfasten for everyday use so I don't use it as often as I should.

I like the minimal roundish turtle shell design. It forms right to my back and doesn't look/feel too bulky.

Had it for about 2 weeks now and it's good so far.

Overall great with minor issues

I purchased this for my 30 year old who travels a lot. She loves it and it looks extremely sturdy. Great value!

Great Value!

Great backpack with all the room and function you need.

Great all-purpose backpack

This bag has excellent components and build quality.  The water resistant fabric and zippers are great.  The convenient pocket on top for your sunglasses is highly functional.  Everything works as you'd expect.

But I hate mine.  It's too small.  When it tips over, it's always on its face (like your toast, jelly side down; this is just physics but it's annoying).  The slash pockets on the sides are useless for me because I can't figure out what you'd put in them.  The main pocket's zippers aren't long enough to open it the whole way.  It's probably fine if you're bicycling and just need to carry a Macbook and iPad (or similar) and a paper tablet and a pen.  If you want to carry your lunch, however, try the next bigger size.  In fact, no matter which bag you choose, immediately order the next bigger size.

This bag has a volume of 25L if you multiply its nominal length, width, and height.  But you're not going to get as much stuff in it as you'd get in a 5 gallon bucket because of the way it's divided up into a bunch of too small pockets.  I can barely fit 3 magazines, 2 file folders, a notebook, and my lunch in it without jumping up and down on it.

Maybe this is really a lesson in online shopping.  Shopping online works great if you're ordering a generic sort of item like a candy bar.  But if you need something that fits you and your lifestyle, it's better to visit the store where you can see what you're getting.
