 "A really great daily bag" 2010-08-04
By Brett Neilson (South Jorda, Utah)
I recently picked up this bag to replace my High Sierra Access Backpack, which by the way, was my favorite backpack until now. Over the month and a half that I have been using the Outdoor Products Power Laptop Pack 2.0, I have come to really like it as a daily bag. I typically carry quite a bit with me. Being geeky by nature and an Amateur radio operator, I am always totting along several electronics.



Typically the problem I find with bags is the built-in pockets simply do not fit what I need to put into them. Even more frustrating is when the pocket is sabled for something, like a cellphone, but mine wont fit. With the Laptop Pack 2.0, I have not found that to be an issue at all. The built-in pockets are all of great size and fit the intended gear as well as the other odds and ends quite well.



One of the biggest selling points of this bag to me was the dual drink holders on the sides of the bags. Quite frequently I would find a great bag, but it would only have a holder on one side. Or the other issue would be that they were zippered and larger drinks or stuff would cause them to open up or the holders would not be breathable (mesh). The side holders on this bag are elastic top with a mesh pouch (the perfect combination). As if that were good enough, Outdoor Products also included a zippered pocket behind the bottle holders. So this means there are actually 4 side pockets (2 on each side). The mesh pockets hold my coffee tumbler and my Camelback water bottle very well, even with stuff in the zipper pocket behind them.



All in all this is a great bag. I really enjoy bags and I have to say, this is one of the best I have seen and am VERY happy I purchased it.

 "Great Bag!!" 2010-04-04
By Jim P (PA)
I just bought an HP 17 laptop so I needed a travel bag for it. This bag has tons of support and sooo much room. I love the front section that has all the slots for different items and cords it is a great way to keep things organized. There is also tons of room in the center compartment for larger things and it is separated to keep things organized. I would definately recommend this bag for any one with a laptop especially a larger one.

 "The best computer backpack I've seen" 2010-03-14
By Dylan Ginsburg
I have kind of an obsession with computer backpacks. I've owned a number of them and spent countless hours looking at pictures and reading reviews. I've never been completely satisfied with a bag but I think that has ended. I happened across this Outdoor Products bag at an REI when shopping for other things. I couldn't believe it. Someone had finally made my perfect bag. In fact, it's perfecter, because it has features I never thought of.



What makes this bag so great?



- Pockets, pockets, pockets. This bag has tons of pockets. It has a large pocket organizer area with a mix of elastic and zippered pockets that are inside the bag. The pockets are labeled so you can remember where you stashed all of your little things. This is perfect. It also has 3 small zippered pockets around the exterior.



- The laptop compartment is isolated and padded. You don't want your laptop jostling around with all of the other stuff in your bag. You also want quick access to it as it's the thing you'll be pulling in and out all the time. And you don't want a big hemisphere zipper that goes all the way around the bag to get at it. And it has a removable padding insert so it will securely hold anything from a 13 to a 17 inch laptop. Again, a perfect solution.



- Sunglasses pocket



- Elastic mesh pouch for a water bottle



- Flat bottom so it is freestanding



- What they call a "quick stash pouch". This is the exterior, front flap you can see in the picture. This is an expandable area you could quickly toss something without fussing with the zippers.



- The back is well padded with channels for airflow.



- One of the coolest features and something I've never seen before is the "retractable check-in slider". This is a pocket running down the center of the back of the bag (against your back). Inside the pocket is a stiff, airline ticket sized wallet that holds a ticket and ID. The wallet has a loop to pull it out and is permanently attached to the bag with an elastic band. There is no risk of losing it or it being stolen. It's hard to describe but it is absolutely the best solution I've seen to what to do with the stuff you need to access when flying.



- There's also a "hidden" pocket on the back for valuables. It's actually the underside of the padding and is inaccessible while you are wearing the bag.



The only design flaw I've noticed is the elastic cell phone holder on the shoulder strap. It's a good idea to give you a spot to put the phone where you can reach it while wearing the bag. The problem is it's too high on the strap and hard to reach.



This bag is a hidden gem. I've never seen it mentioned the many times I've gone searching for the perfect bag. There are hardly any pictures or good information about it on the net. There's actually a cardboard product booklet attached to the bag that does a great job of highlighting it's features with pictures. It's too bad the company doesn't digitize this and make it accessible online. Outdoor Products' website has the tiniest pictures. Their marketing department gets a big fail. (BTW, the most detailed online review and pics you'll find if you google it is for an older version that's quite a bit different. Be sure to compare any pictures you find to the one here. It's easy to tell.)

 "Excellent mult-use backpack" 2009-11-10
By M. Moore (Baltimore, MD United States)
I bought this bag at an REI in Maryland. I spent about 45 minutes looking at the different backpacks they had and this was absolutely the best one. None of the North Face bags were as appropriate for me as this Outdoor Products bag is. I always carry a 15" laptop, portable hard drive, large water bottle, various notepads and sketchpad, lots of pens and pencils, my ipod, a tiny journal, among other miscellaneous items. This bag carries all of these items and more (sometimes I toss my SLR camera and a lens in the bag) and I don't feel like a giant turtle. The "nipple strap" removes the load from my back in an amazing manner.



Basically, I use this all of the time and it is very comfortable, even when loaded with a ton of stuff.



In addition, there are two "secret" pockets that are on the back side. One is perfect for money, ID cards, and a passport.

 "One of the BEST backpacks ever" 2009-10-31
By Stephen Mayeda (Fort Worth, TX)
I really researched the right backpack for Heavy Travel while lugging around a Laptop and Photo Equipment. I travel around the world, and I need something that had a lot of space, organization and would hold up. In looking at backpacks it was a toss up between this backpack and the North Face Surge. I ended up with both and eventually ended up with the North Face Surge. That being said, I have owned a previous Outdoor Products backpack, and it has held up for 9 years of heavy use. I have traveled all over Europe, South America and Caribbean with it, and used it for business.

The Power Pack 2.0 is not only improved from the original Power Pack, but it is so efficient and well made you really can't go wrong with it. Also the price is great.

It has the BEST Laptop Slot and works with even my 17 inch MacBookPro.

Tons of space.

The only down side is that it sits a little bit harder on the back. The reason why is because it expands so far out, if the backpack is full it can not sit flat on the back.



I literally researched every backpack that you could use for Heavy Travel and Business. This and the North Face product are the BEST.

I would highly recommend.

 "Looks great so far" 2010-04-22
By James R. Welch (Boise, ID USA)
I am guessing the Access 40 must be a fairly new model because it is almost impossible to find any review on it, good or bad.



This pack has yet on a trip, but here is the story and my first impressions thus far.



In about 10 days I am heading to Sikkim and Nepal. Traveling light is important to me. So I was looking for:



a. A pack that I could take on board a plane and not have to check it. I was looking for a pack that would push the size limit.

b. A pack that was reasonably light. It is funny that packs this size can very about 1lb very easily.

c. After looking at a lot of brands, I chose Jansport because of their dominance and reputation in the marketplace. There was another brand which was about $15 less. It generally had good reviews, but a couple folks were bummed about the weight and the the zippers tearing. I can email you the brand if you are interested.

d. This pack has some great pocket features, without having to many. For me, to many pockets means I am carrying stuff I really do not need. Usually where ever I go, I can purchase these types of items in the country. So why pack it over the pond?

e. Lastly I wanted a pack that I could use for other activities rather than just travel. This fits that bill.



I leave in May, or that is the plan, so maybe I will have the opportunity to give a post trip report.

 "Roomy Backpack" 2009-09-04
By William RasorRenee Rasor (California USA)
This backpack is ideal for packing clothes and small items. There are three zippered compartments; a small one, a medium sized one, and a large one. There are plenty of compartments inside for your odds and ends. I love this item because you can easily pack enough clothes for a full week, with room left over. The color choice is also good (purple just so happens to be my favorite color). This backpack seems to be well made, and appears to be durable. My husband has an Outdoor Product backpack that he has had for over 5 years, and it has held up to some rough handling. We are very happy with the performance of these products.

 "Sturdy Bag for Price" 2009-08-12
By Merinski (Brooklyn, NY)
I had my reservations about this bag, because it doesn't look like it could handle a lot of heavy weights and abuse. However, I was desperate and bought this pack in a hurry, for the purpose of traveling for a week in Africa. I had to be a savvy packer and wanted something small- I didn't want to run the risk of leaving my luggage in the storage below the bus. I needed something with substantial room that would fit underneath my seat for my bus trips and as a carry-on. I packed this bag to the max with a week's worth of underwear, all my toiletries, bathing suit, small towel, two pairs of shorts, 2 pairs of lightweight pants, sandals, socks, and 3 short sleeve tee-shirts, some tank tops, and rain jacket. I was even able to lock the pockets with my valuables. There are many useful pockets inside for documents, ipod, and even CD pocket (which I used to store my compact digital camera). This pack traveled with me for a week in Ghana, was abused and battered and made it back in one piece. My friend was traveling with a North Face Reacon bag, and even she was impressed with how well my bag held up considering what I paid for it. I gave the pack only four stars because the mesh pockets only hold very small bottles- my 1/2 liter water bottle fell out all the time and I ended up carrying it a lot. The mesh pockets are useful for smaller items like lip gloss, sunglasses, or sunblock. The bungee cords are useless and are only there for looks, the straps are thin and very uncomfortable if you have a heavy load, (however there is a sternum strap which did help a little- but no waist belt). In addition, the bag was only outside for a few minutes with light rain and my contents got soaked rather quickly (cheap zippers is the cause). Luckily, I brought a small dry bag with me to keep my socks and camera dry. I recommend getting a rain cover if you plan to spending a lot of time outdoors with the pack like I did. When I came back, my boyfriend started using it immediately as a gym bag and takes it with him on the subway to work almost everyday. For that purpose it is a great bag. My macbook even fits in here perfectly with a case on. Overall, I can't knock the pack too much, it is great for the price and has held up well.

 "Kelsyus Mesh Backpack Outdoor Chair Review" 2010-08-17
By Rhino (Arizona)
These chairs replaced a set I bought about 7 years ago that I stored outside and the nylon webbing rotted on the armrests. The old chairs are more comfortable than the new ones. The new chairs seem more confined and not as ergonomical. Looking at the two chairs, they appear very similar but you feel the difference as soon as you sit in them. My girlfriend wants me to figure out how to replace the arm straps on the old ones because she does not like the new chairs.



The second issue I have with these chairs is the materials build quality. The first time I got out of the chair, I leaned on the arm rests with my elbows and heard a rip. Upon examination, the nylon webbing is only attached at the front and the back of the blue armrest panel. It would be much better if the strong webbing was one continuous piece, supported the bottom of the armrest and prevented stretching and ripping out of the stitching. On my old chairs, I plan to buy some 2" nylon webbing and make new heavy duty armrests out of them. I bet I will need to do this on the new chairs soon too. The metal frames appear to be OK and my old chairs work fine without the armrests- but I still prefer having the armrests there.



The adjustable back is a bit of a gimmick. The chair is only marginally comfortable in the upright position and you have to contort and really push to get it to lay back. I played with the bungee cord that controls this function so that the chair would more easily tilt back. As soon as I sit down, I push it in the tilted back position and the loosened bungees do not try to automatically make it return to the upright position anymore.



Finally, price was clearly a factor in the design and construction of these chairs. I suspect they were trying to keep these in a specific price range to remain competitive with other beach chair designs. I must admit, these are very cool chairs for the price and I did want to replace the old chairs with the same product. Since I bought them on Amazon, I did not get to sit in them first though. I would rather pay more and have them be sturdier. The design will surely limit the useful life to 2-3 years. I plan to redesign my new chairs' armrests when they tear and become unusable, which could easily happen in the first season of use.



As far as beach chairs go, I still think these are the nicest chairs out there and love the mesh material that keeps you cool and lets your bathing suit dry. It also prevents sand and water from building up in the bottom of the chair. I gave these chairs 3 stars because of the comfort, quality and design issues. I would give the older chairs 4 stars because they are more comfortable and I got a reasonable amount of use out of them and I still will be able to use them after I fix the arm rests. If the nylon did not rot on the old chairs, they would be good for 5 stars. The design clearly has a finite life. If you can find some of the older design chairs out there somewhere, buy those over the new ones. I recommend you find some of these in a local store and sit in them to make sure they fit you OK before buying them on Amazon.

 "chair can be a challenge" 2009-11-04
By P. Mcneal (Huntingdon, PA)
Bought 2 of these for the beach, hoping that we could stuff them in the golf travel bag when we fly to our vacation spot. They are comfortable and I love the mesh as it keeps you cooler and no puddles to sit in. However, it is suppose to "recline" if you push back on it. We can not figure it out and have tried eveything to get the chair to slide in to a less upright position, without any luck. No instructions came with the chairs, so you are on your own. Couldn't find any on their website either. If you don't care about reclining (and we discovered it is not necessary), then it is a great beach chair.

 "defective" 2009-09-22
By Carole Leary (Baltimore,MD,USA)
the way this chair is supposed to work is that metal support slips into a sewn pocket on tne underside of the arm rest. I put assembled the chair as soon as it arrived. the material on the arm rest tore because it was not cut or sewn correctly.

A notice inside the box alerts the buyer to call the company rather than return the product to the seller. I called the distributor and was told the item was out of stock and that I could either call back next year or return it to the seller. the customer service person was not pleasant either.
