"A backpack that actually holds what I need."

This backpack is the best I've owned. It holds three textbooks, laptop and lunch without making my back hurt. With heavy use it hasn't started to wear in the few months I've had it. It has also worked great for day hikes. It has the features to use a water bladder with it, and holds two Nalgenes in the water bottle pockets. The two small pockets at top hold all your little things easily within reach and the organizer pocket is far more functional than my old Northface Heckler's version. Completely comfortable fully loaded, and can hold everything you'd need for hiking or day to day commutes for work and school. And not as expensive as most of the similar backpacks I looked at.
I got this pack to replace my old school bag. Turns out this pack is going to get allot more use than it bargained for. I ride a motorcycle to school and the bag is water resistant to keep all my goodies dry. Also the pack has a sweet waist belt and chest strap to keep the bag in place and comfortable for the ride. It holds way more items than I thought it would and has very strategically placed pockets that optimize usage. This pack will deff. double as my summer time crag bag here pretty soon. Way to go patagonia!! love it.
This backpack has tons of space. I don't think I've ever filled it completly and I get a ton of homework. The backrest thing and shoulder straps are the best. The large main pocket is where I usally put my books, homework, or a lunch and jacket if I'm on a day hike. The smaller medium pocket is were I keep extra pens and pencils for school or gear when Im on a day hike. The clip open pocket on the outside is perfect for a nalgene water bottle and keeps it safe. The flleece lined upper pocket holds my ipod or sunglasses perfectly without scratching them.
Great pack. I use it for school and for my hiking adventures. I just used it the other day in a rain storm and while it's not waterproof really, it does keep the water out. It has a pocket for everything. The only misleading fact is the (bladder pocket) is really just the laptop pocket. It works just fine, but I wouldn't really call it that. I am super happy with this pack though.

The backpack is so sleek in black and the space and organization it provides exceeds my expectations. I can fit all my books and my jacket when the weather clears up unexpectedly. I love patagonia and I love this backpack. That is all.

i'm using this backpack to trek around college and for other various adventures and I love all of the pockets and everything, the laptop sleeve inside is very useful, when i go on trips I use to put papers or anything I don't want to get crumpled up. The straps are comfy, some backpacks I tryed the straps were too close together and squeezed my neck. I haven't really used the buckles for anything yet but they look cool :). I got the lime green color and its super cute, all in all a great backpack.
"Fuego is a great pack that goes beyond everyday use"

I drive a jeep wrangler that rarely has the top on, so I bought this to keep my computer in and anything else I would have to take with me and would not want to get stolen from the Jeep. This pack is a beaut, I now you use it for bikepacking, camping and day hiking. The compartments make is easy to stay organized. I have used it for weekend hikes and it worked well just strapped my tent to the outside in a compression sack. The only thing I wish it has was a pocked inside one of the compartments with a zipper. I have used this product everyday since I got it.
