Smith The Roll Pack 15L with Pockets

This bag is lovely to look at and very sturdy/reliable. Highly recommended.

I bought this 15Ltr backpack a few weeks ago and have now used it a couple of times. Love all the pockets and storage options. Comfortable to wear and very well made.

Have not yet had chance to use backpack but am looking forward to doing so. I was unsure which backpack to choose and emailed for advice. Glad I did cos it focused my mind. Pockets definitely a must for me. Love the look and feel and design.

I've had this bag for a couple of years now but I think I will have to sell it. I think I've been holding onto it based on looks alone and have been ignoring the flaws that frustrate me.
As I've said the bag looks great and seems to come in a nice variety of colours. There are also loads of pockets, some for bottles, laptops, places to put keys, pens, notebooks the lot! But I think this is also the flaws. The bag seems to be very narrow so if you put a laptop and notepad in the main compartment it leaves you with very little space to play with. Or if you decide to use the two water bottle pockets on the side it also greatly restricts the space now left in the other pockets. The same goes with the main compartment, if you put your lunch and a couple of layers in there then the outer pockets become too tight to use.
Maybe I expected too much from this bag or maybe I should have just got a bigger size but I feel it's very frustrating to have many useful pockets designed in such a cool way but then find in reality you can only use one or two of them completely at the same time. I'd like to go for the 25litre but fear there will be a similar outcome.
I can't knock the quality of the bag though and I'm sure for most it will be all they want but for me it's a frustrating bag.

The perfect bag
