Ditto. I have tried other similar packs and none of them work as well as the LAPG3Day. Between work, being a boy scout leader and other stuff I keep 3 of them and my two sons each use it for a school book bag. Super sturdy and very good for the small cost. My only hit on it is the lack of smaller interior storage options, but for ~$30, I can't really complain too much.
