Great BagMay 12, 2011
By J. Leach This "back pack" is actually better than I expected. Well made, plenty of pockets with good proportions....not too big, not too small.
As with other reviews, the zipper may be the weak link. However the bag overall is a quality piece and I expect to get a lot of use out of it.
UPDATE to my previous review: Since purchasing this back pack in May 2011 (Today's date is 10/22/2011), it has been through the airports numerous times and has accompanied me on trips to Florida, Texas, Cyprus, Athens Greece and most recently to Ft. Yukon, Alaska. This bag has exceeded my expectations with durability and convenience. It still looks good, is sized "just right" and is comfortable to wear. Plenty of pockets which are the right blend of being secure yet accessible. I like it and would buy another without hesitation. And, so far the zipper has held up well!

Durable and StylishDec 29, 2011
By JP

I just picked this pack up a few weeks ago and here are my thoughts:
Pros:
+ Durable: This thing is the sturdiest backpack I've ever owned. If you're used to lugging your stuff around with a Jansport, you'll be very pleasantly surprised how nice and thick the material is. I've seen a few people complain about broken zippers, but they seem just fine to me.
+ Comfortable: The 'yoke' style straps are great and well padded. The back also has a very nice semi-rigid material that keeps it flat against your back, rather than bulging when things are packed in it.
+ Well designed: In addition to the previously mentioned rigid back panel, the laptop compartment keeps your laptop suspended above the bottom of the bag. This is an awesome feature, since it'll keep your laptop safe when you carelessly drop your backpack on the ground. The chest strap is also terrific. It's adjustable in two different ways and keeps the bag really tight against your body if you need it. Also, things like the fleece-lined, top glasses pocket are great little additions.
+ Perfect Size: Before ordering this backpack I was kind of stuck between this one and the Campus bag. The campus is a little bigger and since I will sometimes be using it for school I had concerns that I'd be able to fit all my books in the Factor. I definitely made the right choice. I'm a pretty small guy (5'6") and the Factor is ideal. It can easily hold a couple textbooks, a binder, and some other small things, but is still small, streamlined, and stays tight against the body when I'm bike commuting.
+ Cheap!: Seriously, at 25-40 bucks this is an awesome deal. I think I paid almost as much for my crappy Jansports. And I had to replace those every year or two.
+ Stylish: Sexy. What more can I say?
Cons:
- Hmmmmm...The only thing I can think of is that it would have been nice if there were a latch to hold the laptop in place on top. Not a huge deal.
AAAAAnd that's my review. This is a terrific product and well worth the money. Unless you're looking for something that can hold 7-days worth of food, traveling supplies and a tent, this bag is exactly the right size.

Great valueApr 03, 2011
By Spenser Washburn This product is perfect for its value. I wanted a mid size backpack for books and my laptop. I can easily put my two 1000 page books and my MacBook in this backpack and still have some space. It is literally a great backpack for school.
