Buyers Remorse No More!
By KriticalKorean
Initially, I had buyers remorse after purchasing this bag due to it's hefty price. I considered canceling the order before it shipped and purchasing one of those Swiss laptop backpacks that I see all my fellow Metro Rail riders wear. What kept me from following thru was that nagging feeling that I was just going to fit in with the herd and regret not going with my gut reaction after falling in love with the Kitchen Sink once I saw it on Amazon.Just received my package from Luggage Base (free shipping a plus) on Monday and everyone, including my neighbor who received it for me from the delivery guy was amazed. We all were impressed by the sheer presence the bag has alone. It definitely looks like a mans-mans kind of bag. I began transferring all of my messenger bag contents into the Kitchen Sink to see if it was more form over function.Here is the break down of items: 2 text books and pad folio full of notes in the laptop section. A large Stanley thermos (1.1 qt), a Zojirushi Classic Bento Vacuum Lunch Jar in the main compartment. A 27oz L.L.Bean stainless steel water bottle in both side pockets. All of my pens, markers, high liters and correction tape went in the front pocket. My Gerber multi tool slid in perfectly into one of the rigid pockets inside as well as my portable digital storage devices. The hard undershell top case holds my shades, of course, as well as my ear plugs for my iPhone. I need to mention that every thing I stuffed into the bag still left me room for more. I'm considering using the wet pocket that zippers open from the bottom for more water bottles since I try to stay hydrated enough to pee clear (sorry if TMI).Now to test out how comfortable it is to lug all this on my commute to/from work. Let me first mention that I decided to remove the padded strap that goes around the waist. Didn't feel comfortable having that thing dangling and the buckle clanging around. The bag already draws enough attention. It easily comes off by the Velcro attachment point behind the sleeve (you'll see). Now on to the function part: I take a rapid commuter bus with small aisles between the rows of seats. Somehow I didn't need to take the pack off to walk down the aisle with both straps around my shoulders. I take this bus to the Metro station and ride up one stop where I transfer to another line and ride that to the end of the line. The verdict: I love this bag!!! I barely feel the load because of the suspension system in the chest and shoulder strap combo. I wonder how much better it would've been with the waist strap... I also love the attention the bag gets - even from other Oakley bag owners (Not Kitchen Sink). I still haven't seen one yet on my commute during rush hour btw. My only gripe is that you have to unclasp the cool hook thingys that secure the top flap in order to access the main compartment. I only have to open it once when I get to work to unload my thermos and lunch container though since my pad folio and books are accessible through the side zipper. Other than that I see why the Kitchen Sink is all that and then some. Push 'Buy Now' and enjoy forever!

By Wood Wren
I have one of these packs. It is a man's pack. I am a girl; a smallish girl at that. I feel absolutely mortified walking around with a "men's" pack on my back. If the stares and snide remarks do not stop I plan to tie pink ribbons to the various clips, spray the thing down with Channel and possibly attach some sort of cute little furry stuffed animal to the top. But other than the gender problem, I do love this thing.The pack itself does not weigh all that much. There are scads of pockets and pouches, clips and hangers along with zippers and clippers; neat and useful stuff all.The pack is very well made. I tend to haul all kinds of stuff constantly, some if it quite heavy and I have hand no problem with tearing or stretching.The mobile phone pocket is great and is handy. It does indeed hold my laptop and protects it well. The padded storage compartment for the glasses dose indeed work...I have dumped this pack right on that compartment several times and my sunglasses have survived, which is good as they actually cost more than the pack. The inner compartments are well organized and hold a lot of "stuff."The pack straps are easily adjustable and the entire thing, fully loaded with all my useless stuff is extremely comfortable.The little clippie thingy for the lock is nice, although I never use it...but I like knowing I could if I wanted to...as it stands, I could never remember a lock combination and I am sure to loose any key I would lug about.The entire pack looks great; it is extremely attractive...in a "manly sort of way," grunt, grunt.You might consider this to be sort of pricy, but you got to remember that you get what you pay for.Good and useful pack...looks good, is extremely serviceable and the price is good here in Amazon Land.Perhaps if I let my hair grow longer and ceased wearing combat boots and covered a couple of my tattoos ....hmmm.

By Artem
The looks:The backpack has no rivals in tough design. I've read a few reviews saying it is not a comfortable backpack, but i've found it to be one of the better packs that I've owned/tried on at stores. The metal handle up top sounds like a great idea, but it's not, it's less then comfortable and kind of small (not for those with larger hands) if you plan to use that handle at all. I often used that handle on my Swiss (Wanger?) backpack to lift it before putting it on. Not a big deal as i killed that habit after a few days.The straps are nicely shaped. If you are hiking a while, I found the straps to create a more comfortable fit (especially the top strap). If you're just walking from your car to work then straps would just be silly.The large hard front pocket at the top is rather nice for my essentials i don't want crushed (sun glasses, portable hdd, etc).Two side pockets are nice and zippers are easy to use with two hands, but with one hand you may just pull the backpack towards you instead of opening. That is actually a positive as i've had similar zippers get caught on stuff and open up the pocket without me knowing it. So the zippers don't get stuck, they are just a little tighter then say a normal zipper. I noticed another review complaining about the zipper being to tough. I guess if you want an easy open zipper, get a LLBean.The middle front pocket is not easily accessible, you'll need to undo the metal clips on right and left to reach the zipper (unless you don't close it all the way). This pockets is a pretty good size and has several compartments mounted inside for you to put your cell, etc.The front large compartment is 2 sections, laptop and other (book?). Great news is that the laptop section can be easily accessed without undoing the metal clips, unfolding the top pocket and then undoing the zipper. Oakley put a zipper on the side so you can easily slide your laptop/tablet in and out of the backpack (a great idea in my opinion as otherwise it would be too much trouble to undo everything every time i need to get my device for the day.The bottom pocket is great for wet clothes. It is made of waterproof material and extends into the 'other' pocket next to the laptop pocket (if you needed that extra space). The entire bottom pocket is isolated from the 'other' pocket with waterproof lining, so no worries about your stuff getting dirty. The bottom container also has drainage holes which again comes in handy when you have wet stuff/shoes in the bag.The bag is a little pricey at full price. Amazon had it for 169 when i was buying it and they had extra 20% off which i had trouble using until i contacted their customer support (total paid just under $133).Headphone port - the description mentions a headphone port, which i keep hoping will be an actual port to plug your headphones in... no such luck, the backpack has a slit on top of the hard pocket so you can slide your headphone wire through. A little concerned with how well that slit on top will do during rain. I think I may close that hole so that i don't have to worry about my stuff, placing your device into the backpack while hiking in my opinion is silly because you can't change the song, but that's another story.Overall the pack is very sturdy and looks great.Cons: A little pricey, but it's a rather nice pack so i think it's worth the money. It is the first backpack that has people asking about it and commenting on it. Not really the goal here, but it does look good.The top handle is my biggest gripe as it is a small thin metal handle. Not comfortable by a long shot if you had to lift the pack, especially if it is already loaded. The thin metal puts a bit of uncomfortable pressure to the hand the previous (Swiss) pack did not and since the hold for the hand is small too, then it's even harder to grab if you normally use this.Front pocket takes a few seconds to open up. So if you want quick access to that pocket, i suggest you look at other models. If the laptop pocket is enough for your quick access, then that is covered. That's all i needed, so i'm good.None of the gripes above were enough for me to take a star as they don't really effect me, but they may be things for you to consider before buying.
