I have this bag for over 4 years now. It still serves me well. After all these years people still ask me what it is, kinda annoying though.

Anyhow, the bag is a pleasure to carry, although empty it's a bit heavy.
You can stuff the bag full with crap and it's still ok to carry, all because of the lumbur thingy.

The back support also works, I've fallen many (not so many because that would make me a moron) times and I'm still alive.
So in all buy the bag and live long and prosper.

Peace.

PS I have the mat black (kinda rubbery) case with red accents, I call it the A-Team van.

I have had this pack for quite awhile and it really works well. It has gone through the Philipines and various bouldering/climbing trips. I have he ability to protect my camera gear/laptop and carry a bunch of things( ie my sleeping bag, climbing gear, and spare clothes ). If you buy the attachments you can carry a ton more. I have bought the sidewinders for my shoes, the lumbar cassette for my small items, and I even have the MT Cargo as a pull away bag to carry my personals( wallet, key, camera, etc. ). It is worth the money and you will even get a few looks.

I have one of these it is awesome, really well made too. one my roomate's dogs got to the straps that you use to wrap the bag shut and knawed em down to the thread, that was 2 years ago and the bag is sitll in full functioning order. I no longer have any back problems related to carrying around a computer and textbooks around campus at all. Its even got a nifty little compartment for your computer to hold it in place. Its expensive but well worth the cost, PLUS i can't even begin to count how many people have come upto me asking about the bag, i just tell em its either a rocketpack or a toboggan.

If you are like me and have back problems, this is the backpack for you. The sleek design and contour shape gives you extra support when lugging around laptops or gym accesories. Not to mention, this bag gives an urban edge to the average joe. (via boblbee.com)
