There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I looked through hundreds of packs, read thousands of reviews, and redefined my personal requirements dozens of times, to the point that it was almost too late to buy something before my last trip. Exactly a week before I left, I finally bit the proverbial bullet and bought the Drifter II. In all my research, it was the one pack I kept coming back to, and I finally decided to give it a chance. Boy am I glad I did!!!
For starters... this pack is absolutely enormous (on the inside). I mean, it's deceptively large. Let's break down the overall pack, shall we?
Main pocket: What I'm denoting as the 'main' pocket really isn't by any normal standard. It's actually NOT the largest pocket in the pack, but it's definitely the most important one. This pocket features an integrated notebook sleeve which easily holds my 16" notebook. Additionally, by integrating the sleeve, it also provides a second protected pocket which can easily carry a second laptop, tablet, or whatever... I use it for an external keyboard. Additionally, the main pocket has a smaller mesh pocket (about 3" deep and the width of the pack) sewn into it. Ideal for small stuff like cleaning cloths, USB cables, or whatever else you want to keep close.
Top pocket: The 'top' pocket is what probably my second most-used pocket. It's admittedly small, but it's well padded and provides quick access to commonly used accessories. In my case, this means it gets to hold my wireless mouse, phone charger, and my emergency phone battery charger. I usually end up throwing my keys and wallet in it at airports to expedite the TSA checkpoints... it's plenty large enough for it.
Secondary Pocket: This is really the largest pocket in the pack, and is the closest to what you'd expect in a traditional backpack. It's enormous! On my last trip, I fit two full changes of clothes and two boxes of 100 business cards in it with plenty of room to spare. Additionally, like the 'main' pocket, this has a small (roughly 4") mesh pocket in it.
Tertiary Pocket: This is roughly half the size of the secondary pocket in width, but is the full depth of the pack. For reference purposes, it's about 1/3 wider than a carton of cigarettes. Don't really use it myself, but too much space is better than not enough!
Equipment Pocket: The smallish pocket on the front of the pack is divided into numerous smaller pockets to facilitate storing pens, pencils, and other assorted supplies. I generally throw my laptop power cord in it, and a handful of USB thumb drives in one of the smaller pockets.
Mini Pocket: There's also a REALLY small pocket on the outside of the 'equipment' pocket, which I haven't found a use for, but whatever!
Each side of the pack also features a zipper pocket and a mesh pocket that are sized to fit a water bottle. Worked GREAT for lugging water during a conference in Miami! And... special bonus... there's a hidden pocket on the BACK of the pack which provides safe storage for things you don't want to 'disappear'... in my case, airport boarding passes and passport!
All in all, it's an epic pack that has (so far) proved to be extremely durable and versatile. For those who might be wondering... YES! It's TSA friendly!!!
SIZE: Perfect for my 13.3" laptop with plenty of room to spare in the compartment. Has multiple separate compartments for anything you can imagine (mesh pocket, padded pocket, and a netted pocket), great for chargers and smaller electronics, to deodorant and glass cologne bottles. Multiple zipper compartments in the front and on the sides. Storage for school supplies in one of the front storage zippers.
PROTECTION: Has ample padding around electronic pockets as well as a couple of velcro straps that help in restraining certain items from tumbling around. Water resistant bottom performs spectacularly. The bottom inch of the bag is a sort of rubberized, yet still soft, fabric that water cannot penetrate. Amazing addition to the bag.
QUALITY: All the zippers are heavy duty and can hold a great amount of force (you know, when you stuff too many things in your bag and you end up jumping on it to get the zipper to close). The strong , cable reinforced, handle has held up to vigorous handling by myself. I can throw it around while loading and unloading without having to worry about putting stress on the handle, no matter the weight of the bag. The fabric itself is very strong as well. The fabric resists tears from sharp corners or objects (obviously not intentional stabbing or slicing with a knife). The water resistant bottom is also quite impressive (as stated above). It surrounds the bottom inch or so of the bag so you don't have to worry about water seeping through the bottom of your bag.
COMFORTABILITY: The adjustable straps are just right and fit perfectly for me (I have reasonably large shoulders and chest). The elastic "spring" strips of fabric at the top of the straps perform great. They haven't stretched out or worn down, and you can even feel them stretching and absorbing pressure while walking. The padding for the lower back was more comfortable than I expected as well. And there's even a zipper pocket for either extra storage or padding in this area.
