This is a great backpack! It has tons of pockets and zippered pouches to hold all of your gear. I recently used this as my carry-on for an international flight. This bag held all of my stuff with room to spare. The head phone pocket is great and fit my SkullCandy Crusher perfectly. I also really liked the fleece lined sunglasses pocket and pouch for your iPad/lap top. I am a big fan of Dakine's luggage and backpacks as they hold up really well for travel. It was well worth the money.
