JanSport Big Student vs Tortuga Setout Divide Backpack

The only downside is that it doesn't have a cushion thingy for laptops. I can survive without it though.

At this price point if should be included • It would have been nice if it had a designated laptop-only section that you can lay flat on the X-ray belt • The included hip belt is over kill. This uses the same hip belt as the larger Tortuga Men's Setout 35L and 45L bags. They really need to design a hip belt that is proportionately sized for this bag. Still, there are only two or three other companies that make a bag that fits ALL these requirements

especially the sturdy handle and comfortable back support, but it’s too small. Any recommendations for something that combines the 2 backpacks? I work in the tech industry and am also a graduate student, so I carry a mix of technology and books with me on a daily basis.

The padded straps were very cushiony upon purchase but with time and heavy textbooks, they did eventually rip. If you know how to sew, it can be fixed though.

\- The accessory straps were a hassle to take off the bag, especially the lower one on where it attaches to the back of the bag by the hip belt. Took me a solid 8 minutes just to unhook this thing, because the attachment point on the back of the bag is much tighter than the one on the front. \- Speaking of the hip belt, I don't really see it as being very usable for distributing weight.
