Oakley Kitchen Sink Backpack

I took the kitchen sink on a hiking trip to Colorado and tossed in down a 15k mountain 3 times. No tears, or breaks. Just scratches on the major clips and the secondary back zipper. Although, the side pocket zippers did open during each fall. In all it's a tough and durable backpack, perfect for a two day camping trip.

This backpack is beautiful and well built, there is no question about it. One of the reasons I bought it was so that I could carry an 18" laptop, a 15" laptop, plus an iPad, and all accessories for these devices. It does that wonderfully, but it does end up being pretty heavy. With the belt and chest strap that ends up being a non-issue as it distributes the load very well. The drawback to this pack is that it's not easy to get to things and so I have some issues with parts of the design. First, I think the zippers on the side pockets should unzip from the top, not the bottom. The way they are it makes it difficult to get things out of the pocket one handed without everything dumping on the floor. The outer back pocket cannot be reached without undoing the giant clips either, so there is no easy way to reach around and get things out without removing the pack. The pocket itself is well designed however with compartments for common items. I'm keeping this backpack mostly because it looks cool and it can hold a ton of stuff. This one makes up for inconvenience with appearance.

The "Kitchen Sink Bag" is an AWESOME bag!!! You really can get EVERYTHING you need in their...well, maybe NOT the kitchen sink...everything but... I've had mine since 2006 and it is BULLET PROOF!!! Love it and would recommend it to anyone.

Bought this for my son who is serving in the Peace Corp. He absolutely loves it. Well thought out design.

Well, It had an Oakley product with such an excellent craftsmanship. It is not light weight, but it can very well handle anything you may want to carry in it. I love it, because it very well protects my new ipad device among many other accesories I carry from home to work on a daily basis.

I love this backpack! Everything fits. There are many compartments. Unlike my old backpack, a Targus, everything gets strapped in with this backpack. My belongings are not flying around, which is better for my electronics. This backpack has individual places for a phone, wallet, pens, MP3 player, my lunch, a water bottle, a camera, umbrella, keys, my computer (18" Alienware), and more. It's waterproof (some areas) and sturdy. The metal, leather, and straps make this by far the sturdiest backpack I have owned. Finally, there are multiple straps. This was a little difficult to get just right, but I have it down now. Everything feels great for my 4 ten-minute walks through campus each day and when I travel. Oh, BTW, I get comments everywhere I use this thing. People are pretty impressed when they see it, which I think is kinda' fantastic!

I have just received this back pack and i am in love with it, it is perfect for any occasion, it fits a lot of things without leaving the sensation that you are carrying a travel luggage. It is made with a high quality material.

I am very pleased with the versatility of this backpack. Keep in mind that it is a bit heavy when empty let alone when you gear up. I would still purchase it again even it there are other Oakley packs with more capacity.

Absolutely love this thing. It can literally fit the whole kitchen sink. Great for stuffing my laptop and books with hardly any feeling of the bag being heavy. The weight distribution of the bag is flawless. Just yesterday packed the whole thing with my entire lunch box full of paints, paper towels, illustration boards, and water. Had no problem walking with it. The only gripe is the way in which everything zips open. All the zippers are situated to zip down so it can be awkward opening and closing, but this makes it a lot more secure than traditional backpacks. The side zipper for the laptop is super convenient also.

I love this backpack. My husband and I ride motorcycles, it holds everything. When we hike it has so many compartments that hold everything, and the silver brackets on the front hold every key alive. I have even attached my water bottle for easy access. It holds so much that I put my clothes in for the next day so its the only thing I need to bring in the hotel at night. It does a great job protecting my cell phone on top!! Men, buy it for women. Women just buy it, especially if you love compartments. I would recommend it to everyone.
