A little heavier than the Curve backpack, but also a little heavier-duty. The airflow shoulder straps are more comfortable for longer hikes, but there aren't outside mesh pockets for water bottles. The compression straps are good for when I'm not carrying a lot. No laptop/tablet section, so I use a different pack when I need to carry those, but the savings in space and weight, particularly if those have their own protective cases, is worth the tradeoff. The separate full-length compartment is good for separating and protecting papers, maps and brochures. I use mine for general shopping. If I had a student in middle school or above, I'd choose the Fatboy, and the Curve for younger students.
Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Load, Good Padding, Good Suspension, Highly Adjustable, Large Capacity
I was very pleased with this product, and I knew I would be. I had ordered for High Sierra before, for my freshman year in high school, and I was surprised by the quality of the bag. Not only was it sturdy, but it was also comfortable. Now with me being in college, I knew I had to get a bag from here. There is heavier things I have to carry, and I have to walk across campus, with ten minutes in between classes. It's easy to slip my material into, my laptop, my tablet, and then I can quickly slip it into my back. It makes my walk a breeze, since the weight of my books don't kill me. I highly recommend this product, especially for students!!!

I bought 40 of these packs to help people who need a good backpack to carry their things. Everyone I have handed these to are appreciative of the quality and room for the stuff the need to carry.
I ordered two backpacks. I only received one backpack. The company still has not sent me the second Packnow or refunded my money. Poor ethics!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A strong, durable bag that works great carrying my heavy books. It is comfortable and the padded straps are the best. They keep the pressure off my shoulders from carrying a heavy load. I recommend this bag for parents who have teenagers and college students that carry heavy books, laptops etc.
