The best backpack I have ever owned.
I purchased this backpack about 20 days ago so that it would be delivered before the first day of my freshman year in high school. It has the characteristics that I wanted and I knew it would be a great backpack for school. When I was reading the comments about "a lousy book bag" I was a little worried. Once I got it and put my belongings into it, I was amazed that someone would think that it is a lousy book bag. I have been one week with my Angstrom 30 Backpack and absolutely love it. It is comfortable and has plenty of compartments. Also, I have to say it looks cool too. As soon as I use this one until I can't anymore, I will be ordering the same exact one. Awesome backpack.

Great FAST dayback. Lousy book bag.
This pack has a very focused design. It is designed to be lightweight and FAST for a minimalist hiker/long distance runner. The straps are very thin mesh with barely any padding but they feature excellent adjustment allowing the pack to be worn VERY snug. The back panel is an awesome rigid foam with excellent lumbar support and ventilation. The fabric is very thin ripstop nylon and other lightweight materials to save weight. The overall shape of the pack is very streamlined and tapers to the top opening with compression straps. The combo of lightweight fabric, thin straps and streamlined shape makes this a very poor bag for a school bag or book bag. The same combo makes it fantastic as a fast daypack.

The best backpack around!
I purchased this pack for several reasons, one I live in the tropics and needed a light, cool pack. Second I needed a pack that fit well, had lots of compartments and when closed was secure for traveling around. The North Face Angstrom 30 Backpack met all these requirements with the most comfortable fit. After trying many different packs, this will be my one and only pack from now on!
