HUGE!

If you need space you'll find it in this backpack. It's massive! This has more pockets than you can remember where you put everything. I'm sure you could pack three days worth of stuff if need be. The organization of the pack is good and the pockets seem nicely planned for almost any need. Although I have not hiked with it I do wear it while carrying other items ie. lunch box etc and it fits the body nicely and the straps have some stretch to them that seems an intuitive feature. The one thing I have become annoyed with is that each compartment is not separated at the bottom. When you stow stuff in one section it works itself over time to the bottom and the bottom is not segregated so what you are looking for may actually be residing in a different area then where you left it. A small thing I suppose but annoying just the same. I'd say it is worth the money. And I likely would buy it again. Great bag all around.
Bought this for my husband. He had an old Targus backpack, which had a similar (yet different) layout and he likes that a bit more. No faults with this backpack, but he just liked his old (but needed to be retired) backpack more.

So happy that he loved his older backpack so much. Hopefully, with time he will come to love this one just as much. It is a customer favorite.
This bag has lots of space and different areas to organize all the things I need to carry daily. It is also very durable and light.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This Targus TSB238US 16" Drifter II Laptop Backpack failed within several months of use. Seam failed, Zipper came off pocket material. No way to repair. Don't recommend this backpack despite appealing design . Past Targus backpacks in use for years without problems.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
