Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The JanSport Odyssey Daypack offers comfort and versatility over rough, rugged terrain. JanSport combined an urban daypack's organizer panel and media pocket with the suspension and support of a heavy-duty hiking pack. Tuck the padded hip-belt away when you're on campus, and use it at the trailhead when you need the support. The internal frame sheet and aluminum stay disperse weight evenly, whether you're carrying gear or a bunch of textbooks. The Odyssey features side water bottle pockets and a built-in hydration sleeve. Daisy chains let you clip your Nalgene or climbing harness to the outside of the pack, and reflective hits increase you safety at night."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Take it into the backcountry or haul all the school supplies you'll ever need, either way the JanSport Odyssey Backpack offers spacious organized storage and a comfortable suspension system for adventures of the wilderness or academic kind. The Odyssey is one of those backpacks that you can stuff with 25 pounds of gear or books without worrying about suffering from an achy back. AirLift shoulder straps made of a unique shock absorbing material distribute the weight evenly, and a tuck-away padded hip belt works in tandem with an internal frame sheet to share the load with the shoulders when necessary. For hikes or hot afternoons on campus, the JanSport Odyssey Backpack includes a reservoir-ready hydration sleeve so you can easily arrange for hands-free drinks on the go. Side compression straps keep the load from shifting when scrambling over rocks or quickly descending an uneven path, and reflective details add an element of safety if your usual route home involves a bike ride or roadside walk."

From REI:
"All you could ever ask for in a pack! Loaded with ''bells and whistles,'' it's the ultimate in multi-use packs. Airlift® shoulder straps offer cushioning where you need it most, a Flovent breathable window and a mesh grip underside for ventilation. Built-in frame sheet and aluminum stay give you support and protection from a heavy load. Padded hipbelt can be tucked away when not needed. Hydration-ready sleeve holds a reservoir of your choice (reservoir sold separately). Dual main compartments allow you to separate and organize items. Drawbridge pocket, large front pocket and stash pocket give you choices for optimal packing. V-loft security pocket for your valuable items. Two side mesh pockets expand to fit 1 qt. water bottles (sold separately). Compression straps allow you to pull the load close to your back for improved balance. Daisy chain and ice axe loop provide gear-carrying options."

"More compartments than you know what to do with. Holds a lot. Seems really sturdy but is a little heavy."

"Originally, I bought this as a weekender bag after getting tired of the 8 lbs. empty Arc’Teryx Bora 80. I bought it sight unseen as it was a overstock from REI. Getting the bag and unpacking it, found a few features that really appealed to me in a day-pack."
