*Patagonia/PJ20 backpack review*
On a scale from 1-5 stars, rate the backpack in YOUR opinion. This will give people who didnt get one a better idea and help decide if they still want to trade "BENNY" for one!
My vote is 5 stars.....
Here are some pics:
The arrival (it shipped in a white plastic mailer from ups)
top zipper pocket that has a soft flannel like material
Sturdy & thick straps
top handle (thick plastic?)
front view (the "patch" is actually embroidered into the fabric)
front zipper (fits the vault cd and still room to roam...)
side pocket
side pocket (holds 3 dvds comfortably)
other side pocket holds flip flops perfectly
inside main zipper (room for several notebooks, shoes, paint brushes, etc. )
15inch laptop
fits right in the laptop pocket!
2nd zipper fits cell phone, has key hook, pen holders, coin pocket, fits books and still has room...
here is a comparison of my quiksilver backpack that i've toured/traveled with for 7 years. the red bp is a bit wider and bulkier but the straps are now worn out.
here is pj20bp on its first short trip to a meeting it got lots of attention!
Here is the whistle i wasn't aware of! the only grey clip on the bag!
here is a PLASTIC bottle the same height as the SIGG and a bit wider. Fits perfectly.
Heres the opening to the "straw compartment" that i never knew was there! I didnt have a bendy straw so just used any one i could find.
the opening INSIDE leads strait down to the inside pocket behind/near the laptop strap.
My vote is 5 stars.....

4 out of 5.
wishing it was a tab bit bigger. my personal laptop will fit in the big compartment easily. but might be a tight fit for my 17'' work laptop.
still a great great product and well worth the purchase.
i had a great north face for YEARS that took a severe beating, almost on it's last leg, this PJ20 pack popped up and it was a good opportunity to get a new one.
i travel a lot for business & personal and love to hike and camp. this should fit the bill nicely, but if you are looking for something a tab bit bigger, i would go with a north face.

Thanks, good idea, I like North face's other stuff, thus a good bag would make sense.
thank ya!
in MY opinion? its PERFECT for carrying those items. if your lenses are in cases, you could probably fit one on each of the side pockets and theres awesome straps that secure everything. your camera could easily be accessible in the very front zipper where i have my vault cd or, in the middle zipper where my cell phone was. the laptop fits perfectly and is off the "floor" so you dont have to worry about impact. im in LOVE with this thing!

And you're in Montana. I'm in New York, so I'll probably get it Columbus day. I haven't been this eager for something I ordered in years!
Thanks Senrock for all the pics.

i've never owned patagonia. i've always stuck to quiksilver becuz they've all lasted me for yeeears and are weatherproof! as for size....this patagonia is slightly smaller than ones i normally get but.....theres space/compartments for everything basically. i travel a lot and carry my quik bp on the plane and i always have a hard time fitting it under my seat! this pj20 one will be just right!

A couple of things: I wish it had the stretchy straps on the outside to stick a jacket or other stuff in. I like a small zipper pocket on the inside to put small stuff like jewelry, coins, pills, hair bands, etc, and there is none. There is a small zipper pocket on the top outside, but the hydration tube hole comes through it. So if you have a hydration tube you will have to leave the zipper partially unzipped. Or maybe that small zipper pocket is to store the tube.????
And one final thing: I am going to have a hard time keeping the shiny black exterior looking clean. It will show dust and dirt very easily. The Mountain Hardware I had picked out was a dark red.
But overall I am very happy with it and glad I ordered it. By the way I have a "bigger" day pack that I use for hiking and day trips where I need to take extra clothes and stuff. This one I plan on using as a carry on for travel - as my vacation day pack.
AND I got mine today in Kentucky.
what?!...thats where I am...however, my town just voted to sell alcohol last year....we're a little behind i guess
