I bought this backpack when the free corded sack I got from a charity walk broke and I realized how much I had been using it.  I only expected a replacement: a bit of nylon with some cords running through it shaped vaguely into a backpack, but this thing is amazing.  The material and design seem insanely sturdy, it looks great, has a bit thicker canvas on the bottom for when you set it down.  I'll definitely be ordering a second one.

But, the real reason I decided to review was because of the "Foam padded, ua branded drawcords."  I read that in the description and couldn't believe they were actually including the type of draw cord as a selling point, but these things really are nice.  They are about the thickness of a bic pen (or a bit thicker) and the padding really does work.  I hadn't realized how much the shoelace like straps on my other bag had been digging into me until I replaced them.  All other things being equal, these cords would still convince me to buy this pack.
