I got this backpack from Jansport when I sent in my trusty old Luna for repair. Instead of repairing the broken zipper & waist strap buckle, they replaced it with a new Equinox. At first, I was thrilled that they had sent me a new bag, but then I tried carrying things in it.

The Luna was a women's specific design, and the Equinox is not. The straps are very wide, flat, and hard. They are also set very wide, which makes them sit on the very edge of my shoulders, pulling them back uncomfortably. Normally I'd use the chest strap to pull them in a little tighter, but at the highest point, the chest strap on this bag goes right across the fullest part of my bust. Not comfortable or flattering. It can adjust down, but no higher up. I didn't try using the waist strap, but it is much thinner than the one on the Luna, which I think would make it somewhat uncomfortable. The back was also too rigid- it felt like I was carrying around a piece of plywood on my back.

I did like the configuration of compartments, and the fact that it has chest and waist straps are good features (the waist strap can also tuck into little compartments in the back panel which keeps them from hanging down and getting caught on things when not in use). I know Jansport doesn't make the Luna model anymore, but I wish they had sent me a women's specific design as a replacement...

The Equinox might work for men, but I don't like it at all.
