[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the High Sierra Access Pro from TryIt Sampling for my honest review. I cannot tell you how much my college student loves this bag. There are so many useful compartments. It's perfect for his laptop and tablet. Awesome color (gray). It's lightweight and easy to clean. Very durable and hip.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great carry around bag

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple weeks ago for my daughter to use on a camping trip for school. Had more than plenty of pockets and compartments for everything she needed to carry with her on hikes. Held through the wet weather they had while hiking. Another great feature to this bag was the strap that came around the front from the straps as to provide the bag from slipping off your shoulders. With all that hiking my daughter had she thought it was a great bag. Also has a padded and water resistant compartment for tablet, computer or any valuable like that. I would definitely recommend this bag to anyone.

Surprisingly comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Long hauls it's comfortable. There are plenty of pockets to organize your things. Build quality is good, and seems to be able to handle quite a bit. The arrangement of the pockets also seems to allow to great use of space without sacrificing the compartmentalization.

Awesome pack!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pack is really really nice! It’s easy to access and opens plenty wide to put all of your stuff in it, and it keeps everything nice and condensed. Even when it’s full, it stays nice and compact. The straps are easy to adjust and are very comfortable. It has plenty of pockets that are easy to access. The carry handle on the top is very sturdy and padded so it feels great in your hand. The external water bottle pockets are nice and tight and hold my bottles well. Overall, this is a great pack!

Back pack upgrade.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The High Sierra Access Pro is a stylish functional pack back that can go from urban groove to country hike.
I will tell you what sold me on this backpack. The back section of the pack is the laptop sleeve (actually two sleeves) and at the bottom of this sleeve there are a series of straps that suspend your computer above the bottom of the bag. It is about an inch or so, but this extra suspension will add years to the life of my computer. I have on many occasions pulled my heavy backpack off my back and let is drop to the floor and then realize that yes my computer is in fact inside and that may not be the best thing for the laptop. I never had a computer break in a bag, but I am sure if added to the wear and tear it experienced. So, I new right away this was going to be a good backpack for me. As I mentioned before the laptop slot is actually two sleeves, the front one is a little smaller, so for me that would be a tablet holder and the back for laptop. I often have books or papers that need a flat tight spot to keep them from getting messy and the extra sleeve will do nice for this as I only have a laptop and a tablet if I was traveling, but not for everyday commuting to work.
Being large enough to hold a 17” laptop, the shape of this bag is squared off and roomy. Sometimes bags with a square shaped main section, often may you look like a High School kid on finals day. This bag has a fairy sleek shape considering how much you can fit in the main pouch. This was another big selling point for me. For travel, camping or hikes, the spacious main pouch will come in handy, all of these are times when you are carrying things of different shapes and sizes and a room bag is an asset. Also for hiking, or other times you might want to bring a decent size water bottle, the very front of the bag has a easy access space that is great for water bottles. It puts your water bottle in the front and center of the bag which is a huge plus, a heavy water bottle can really unbalance the weight of a bag if it is is one the side. There are two side slots on either side for water bottles as well. But, I would prefer the center one for comfort.
My Access Pro is called Sliver Heather/Steel Grey and the look is stylish and muted, while not screaming outdoorsy. The Silver Heather fabric on the top of the bag gives it an upscale look. This fabric is also front facing on the straps which means while you are wearing it, the heathered straps will be the first thing people will see. Backpacks are my “briefcase” and I prefer something stylish that can feel professional as well. That can be hard to find in a backpack. What struck me at first was that the fabric feels lightweight and a little high tech. It’s durable and a little crinkly to the touch, but still soft and pliable at the same time. It does not appear to be water proof, but seems to hold up well in light rain or getting wet in general. It seems durable and easy to clean. On an interesting note, the tag for the product that would list what the bag is made from and how to care for it. Has been placed deep in the computer pocket and is not readable unless you cut it out. Considering how many other pockets they could have used to place the tag, this seems like and unusual choice.
This backpack feels like a upgrade to me. I look forward to giving this new pack a workout both in my daily commute and taking it outdoors to test it limits.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good quality, great for travel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The High Sierra - Access Pro backpack is a great backpack for travel. There are several other small and large compartments throughout the backpack. The front compartment keeps closed with 2 magnets, one on each side of the front opening. Once opened, it reveals a zippered pocket on both the inside and outside of the large pocket. Behind that is a large zippered compartment with a little mesh zippered compartment on the inside. I used this large compartment to store 2 days worth of clothes for my travels. The zipper underneath the handle reveals a very small compartment, maybe large enough for sunglasses or similar in size. My sunglasses fit nicely in this compartment.
Behind the first large compartment is the laptop compartment. It has a large section with a laptop hammock that prevents the laptop from sitting on the bottom of the backpack. It's a great feature, especially since I'm worried about my laptop hitting the ground when I set my backpack down. There is another pocket with a Velcro enclosure that would fit laptop cables or anything else you can think of. The back of the backpack has a thick, sturdy section in the fabric to give support for the laptop and your back. The outside of the backside has mesh padded sections that is very comfortable on my back. The straps are padded for comfort as well. The top handle is thick and sturdy, with soft mesh underneath. I have several backpacks and have traveled with them all. This is one of my favorites. I like that it prevents damage to my laptop sitting at the bottom and I like the numerous compartments for everything that I have. This is a high quality backpack, you can't go wrong with this one.
