Review on Charcoal MindShift Gear BackLight 18L Backpack - Ideal For Outdoor Adventure And Camera Daypack by Joseph Campos

This is a good bag don't get me wrong! It's good but it's not a $169.99 bag! Not gonna 5 star it just because I happen to love Mindshift stuff.I found the quality of the used materials lacking. As a side by side comparison I bought the Lowepro Flipside 300 AW II. At the time of writing this review the Lowepro is $119.95. I have other larger bags from Mindshift and usually they are far more superior to Lowepro but apparently the trend does not carry to the lower end models from Mindshift. Despite the Lowepro being $119.95, it feels much more substantial and solid in the hand. I just hate when companies start to use their brand name to price their products (wink wink Apple).To be fair I have to say that I would give this bag 3 stars if it was $140 and 4 stars if it was if it was $120.Again don't get me wrong. This is a very good bag but its lacking in the cost/value department. You can get better bags for much cheaper.
