The only backpacks I know are the ones the kidlets use for school, whick I firmly believe will spawn generaions of adults with back problems. So I am truly amazed by how balanced the Tumi ABK is in my back, how even the weight is distributed, how not tired I am from carrying it.

For my purposes, there is ample room to carry my electronics, my stuff and a change of clothes, if I am overnighting somewhere. There are plenty of compartments to keep necessary items separate and easily available. The color is a good neutral, and the material and zippers are standing up well to use. I don't either feel or look like I'm carrying my home on my back.

I never thought I would need a backpack but this product is converting me. I'm recovering from a sprained knee, and it's so convenient for me to use this to keep my hands free for using my cane. As far as I'm concerned, the Tumi ABK seems to give value for its cost, and is worth getting if you need a backpack for daily usage.
