(More customer reviews)First, let me say that this backpack has not yet stood the test of time. I have had it for less than a week.
It does, however, look and feel like a well built and heavy duty backpack.
The backpack doesn't sag while you wear it, or pull/press on particular areas of the body. It feels like a solid mass which sits equally across the upper back. As such, it is very comfortable.
The bottom of the pack is made of a rubbery material which is thick and waterproof. You shouldn't worry about setting it down when the ground is wet.
As the other reviewer has noted, there are many small compartments throughout the pack. There are really more than I know what to do with. The large compartment currently contains my laptop (in a padded internal compartment) and my textbooks, including a hefty physics book. I haven't even touched the middle compartment yet, but I'm sure that I'll find something to do with it. It might be good for my field gear (i.e. rock hammer, etc.).
My one issue is that my laptop is 14.1". It fits very snugly in the laptop compartment with little if any wiggle room. This is great for me, but I don't know how you are going to fit a 17" laptop into it, as is advertised.
UPDATE 03/08/11:
I have now had this for a little over 5 months, exclusively for transporting school supplies. I haven't used it in any rough activity. Through normal use, the larger front pocket has gradually torn away just above the zipper for about the length of the zipper. A smaller tear is appearing in the small front-bottom pocket. A tear is also making an appearance near the zipper of the large pocket (which houses the laptop).
The laptop pocket appears to be sufficient, but the padding is nowhere near so. My Thinkpad's corner was cracked. I did not abuse it in any way, such as dropping it into the pocket haphazardly. Setting the backpack on the floor was enough for it to crack the corner of my $900 computer. That crack has grown to reveal parts of the circuit board.
I bought this backpack for $30, as it looked like a dependable and high quality backpack. I ended up with garbage and the inevitable loss of a really nice $900 dollar computer.
My 50 dollar Coleman backpack that this replaced lasted over 5 years, during which I used it for everything from carrying books and a computer around, to carrying 50lb of rocks from a quarry. It never reached nearly the same amount of damage as the Ful did, which never had the same abuse.
