Is this an assault bag and could you fit text books and regular notebooks for school in this bag or would a 20L bag be better

You could fit some text books but very few. Don't get me wrong it's a great bag. But if u using it for school I have u don't have a lot of book. A 20l bag would be better

You could fit text books but it's a little smaller than standert school back pack size

Text books would not fit. This bag is small and could be used for a camelback for water. It's a lot smaller than it looks.

Yeah, I got a random email saying someone replied to this. Did a slight double take. =) It certainly would have helped me before I bought it. I'm actually alternating between this bag and a 15" Swissgear Maxxum backpack I modified to fit my HP dv7 depending on how much I'm carrying. When I've got several heavy textbooks, a backpack is so much more comfortable than a messenger.

I have mine full, and I mean very full. I have the matching 65L Seal Line dry sack inside the bag. Mine is about 29" high by 18" wide by 14" deep, but that's including straps, lid, and tools that I have MOLLE'd to the sides like my shovel, knife, and hatchet. If you're concerned with space, you could trim it down somewhat, but it's still a big bag. These measurements do not include the assault pack. The size of the assault pack is close to a small backpack.

I have taken my Osprey Talon 22 Litre with me to both Peru and Belize on excursions and it was the perfect size. It had plenty of extra room if i needed it and fit everything that i needed. I also used this backpack my last year of university and it fit all of my books very comfortably. So if you are just using it for school or 1-2 day backpacking trips 22 Litres would be the perfect size.

Hi Luke, yes this bag would for sure hold a text book and a spiral notebook or two depending on how wide. Very roomy, but not bulky.

It sounds to me as though you're looking for the same thing I was when I bought this bag. I do property inspections so I carry camera, tape measure, small notebook, small light, etc and honestly I had high hopes for this bag and it failed miserably for my purposes. I'm sure it's a great school bag but it doesn't have the reinforcements necessary to hold it's shape or provide easy access. Don't get this bag for what you're doing. I bought a UTG Multi-functional Tactical bag and it's perfect. I also like the Bestek SLR DSLR Canvas bag for what you're doing both of these bags I got from Amazon. I carry either depending on my location. Good luck and I hope this helped. It sounds to me as though you're looking for the same thing I was when I bought this bag.

You would be able to fit all your books, gym clothes, and possibly a science project in this bag. The next size down is nice, but it was too small for my 15.5" laptop, so it depends on what you'll be carrying.

This bag probably has a smaller capacity than the average bookbag used, say, by a high school student but more capacity than a child's bookbag. I really like the size because it isn't too unweildy to use in place of a handbag, and I like to carry a lot in my handbag. I guess it would depend on whether you want to take lots of diapers and changes of clothes or a more modest amount. For example, I wouldn't include regular-size box of baby wipes in it.

This bag is huge. If you really intend to store a large laptop and alot of books, then it would be the right bag for you.

Hi... you will be able to fit in two laptops easily...and then two to three books can easily fit in.... and the cop holder is easily accessible... but given that you have loaded all these in to the bag.... it gets really heavy that you would not be able to walk carrying it.. also I would like to emphasis that the empty bag itself is heavy. I carry one laptop and couple of note books... I feel much comfortable with the bag... I love this bag for its quality

This bag is perfect for yoga blocks, change of clothes and towel along with yoga matt And water bottle. Not really for a lap top and text books. It does hold quite a bit but just not sure it will hold all you school supplies.

Depending on the size I'd say easily 3 large textbooks or 5 mid sized. I am not a student, but the bag can easily handle my large 17" laptop (but not in the laptop sleeve), my lunch bag, and at least 2-3 books.

I brought this bag for my daughter who has it at school right now but she fits her laptop (regular size, not mini) into it for school. So, I would say yes!!

I think you are better off with the larger of the two. Straps are adjustable and the issue of space for shoes and ball is more important. It's not like a school pack where more space for books makes a bag too heavy. Most of the stuff in a soccer bag is light except for the water bottle. Plus as he moves up to full size ball and bigger shoes you'll want the room.

20L might suit you better. The 10L is about the size of a smallish backpack. We took it to Disney and had two raincoats, a 32oz Nalgene, snack bars, and a few 16oz waters inside no problem. The 10L definitely wouldn't handle 4 full size towels AND other items. It's a fantastic bag. Built well and the material leaves you confident that it is indeed waterproof.

Yes. Depending on the size of the textbooks, you should be able to fit a couple of books in there, too. I have the aqua blue bag, and I love it. I cannot use it without people stopping to admire it and asking where they can get one.
