I was looking for a bag for more than my laptop that I could trust while traveling. When I came across the Mountainsmith Network, I knew that I had a winner. I already love Mountainsmith products and have come to rely on them in the backcountry. The previously posted reviews only confirmed for me that I needed this bag. Here are some of the highlights:
1. The laptop sleeve (which is less like a sleeve and more like a pocket) is large enough to hold my old Toshiba notebook. It is also surrounded by closed-cell foam padding on both the exterior side and the center divider of the bag. The foam adds even more protection for my laptop without taking up a lot of space in the bag.
2. The two main sections of this bag are spacious! The laptop side is about 3″ and the other side is just a little less. The non-laptop side also has a zippered pocket which is 5.5″ x 9.5″.
3. The front compartment (the panel that has the Mountainsmith logo on it) unzips to reveal tons of pockets (from pens to calculators). There is a key hook. There is a fleece-lined pouch for glasses hanging from the exterior panel as well as a mesh zippered pouch that velcros to hold glasses in the pouch beneath.
4. On the exterior of the bag, there is a drink pouch on one side which isn’t large enough to hold a Nalgene 1L bottle, but is more the size of a 20oz. water bottle. On the other end, there is a velcroed pouch that could hold a cell phone or a couple of granola bars.
5. As stated below, the interior of this bag is a bright yellow which aids in locating items within the bag. The exterior is rugged and tough.
6. The shoulder strap is padded with foam and has a grippy-like material on the padded part of the strap.
7. On the back side of the bag there is a sleeve that fits over the handle of wheeled luggage and is secured with a bit of velcro. There is another pocket on this panel as well.
