Unisex React
Reviewed by Kellen Bradley, Sep 26, 2008

"This backpack has been glued to my back for the last 6 months. The React has been to school, work, up the mountain, on the overhead compartment, along the Kalalau trail, Telluride. . . anywhere and everywhere I go.

The main compartment holds my Macbook with a sleeve with room to spare, suspended from the bottom of the bag, so when I set it down the laptop does not make first contact."
