Review: Keen Burnside Backpack


Of course I bought it at REI for around $99 and it's on sale at Buy.com for $79. Fucking REI is always so expensive. Here it is at Buy.com: http://www.buy.com/prod/keen-burnside/q/loc/16234/207506180.html.

However this is a great pack! Nice padded shoulder straps, vented back for sweat while I commute. Sweet padded laptop sleeve. Cool side entry. Nice sipped mesh pockets internally. Nice sturdy feel.

I use this primarily for commuting and wish there was a way to attach or clip my ipod to one of the shoulder straps in an accessible place near my chest. Not so much. I also wish there was a strap or loop to clip a light to, so I can continue my streak of not being run over.

For coolness factor, comfort, nice design, and sturdy construction I give this a "recommend", especially at $79. I am biased, I love KEEN stuff. B+.
