Review on Oakley Kitchen Sink Backpack Stealth Backpacks by Victor Kakaruk

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not just an office bag

I've had this backpack for three months now. It replaced the Swiss backpack I had for 10 years until the zippers wore out. He is physically tall and appears solid. I really like the latches that close the top flap, especially when it's full of clothes. I flew with him twice on crappy American Airlines planes to Chicago and Charlotte. Although the seats haven't gotten more comfortable, I managed to pack a week's worth of clothes in my backpack and they fit upstairs as carry-on luggage. It fit well but I rammed it in and tucked in the straps to close the top basket - no problem. The side pockets are quite large and I know I haven't used them all. The only downside to this backpack that keeps me from giving 5 stars is the lack of pockets. Top flap pocket for Oakley sunglasses. That's cool, but I need to keep my work safety pass and keys in an easy-to-access place so they can go there with the pack of gum. There are some small pockets in the bottom compartment but they are small and strange. I managed to fit some pens and markers in one, some thumb drives, nail clippers and a knife sharpener in another. I just wish there were more pockets in the main compartment as the design makes it cramped in the bottom compartment when the main compartment is full. The separate bottom flap to separate your shoes from your clothes is a feature I didn't originally think I would use, but now I have it double. It won't stand upright on the ground by itself when you're looking for it. He is big and loves to be filled. When I first received the bag I thought I'd send it back. After two trips without having to pay for checked bags, this is really starting to get me excited. If you're looking for a basic bag with lots of compartments for work, this may not be for you. If you're looking for a bag that can be used for week-long trips with no checked baggage, go for this one.
