How well does the Monsoon handle textbooks? Right now I am using a Lunada, which is perfect as a (netbook) computer and EDC incidentals bag, but I am finding myself wanting just a bit more room. I've also started taking some night classes and find it...

This bag will easily handle some textbooks.....this is my "airport" bag and I carry 2 days of clothing, scuba reg, dive computer,dive mask, snacks, books and personal items in it when I am traveling to dive sites.

You could get two hefty textbooks, maybe three if you are ok with a bulging middle part of the bag. It's only about 3" 'deep' with three sections(laptop, tablet, and aux.) It's a great laptop around the town bag, but not sure how durable it'd be with 20lbs. of books and school stuff in it... :-l

Although a laptop could fit in this bag I would see it more fit for carrying a tablet or something similar... I personally carry a small Kindle Fire HD and it fits comfortably along with photo gear. Its definitely an odd bag, but very useful and well constructed. The design is rather strange for most folk and the user has too appreciate the fact that it doesn't look like a camera bag. .. hope this help you w your decision!

Another question for the "better informed." Has anyone gotten a laptop bag that fits? I need one that also will haul the mouse and ac adapter. I think the 12" are for the 11.6 netbooks. Any suggestions?

I use this bag for college as well. I bought the medium and it fits one giant textbook and my small binder perfectly. There's also room for my planner, small makeup bag. The notebooks will fit good and one textbook. The medium is spacious and recommend it, but if you want to carry ALL your textbooks then checkout the large one and compare sizes :)

I just found out that they have a rain cover for the Atlas and pretty much most of their other lines too. http://www.everki.com/products/more/laptop-accessories/shield-backpack-rain-cover-detail product # EKF821 unfortunately according to the website and my quick searching you can only purchase directly from them. I would have no problems with this except that they charge $15 for shipping!!!! Talk about ABSURD. If anyone wants to get a group buy on these suckers, let me know!

Hi, I have totally loved my canon bag - I have 2 bags , one that is a rucksack and can hold my laptop/books etc and this one. Since I have had this one I hardly use my other one ! A good buy I would say. Hope this helps.

once its in its case, its really the same size as most laptop computers, so you can just use any computer bag. I recently got a swiss gear backpack that carries this and a laptop together easily, with plenty of other room.

I can just fit my Lenovo Yoga2 13" in the front zipper compartment. It is not well padded in there, and it will not fit with a padded sleeve on the laptop. Prior to this laptop, I've been carrying a 10" eeepc in its padded sleeve in that compartment for very many airline trips. No problems at all. I'd say 12" with a sleeve, 13" without should fit. For myself, I'm shopping for the next larger basics bag to better protect my laptop.

I purchased the 5.11 All Hazards Prime Bag for my laptop and EDC. It is absolutely perfect. I suspect the 3 Day Rush would be a bit big for EDC to the office.

This would handle a few books well. It'd be a bit trying with let's say a Intro to Biology/ Chemistry book. THat'd just be one heavy load out for one arm. It would hold them, but you would just murder your shoulder. I usually kept a folder, notebook and 1 textbook (Medium size).

Yes and yes. I love this bag. Got mine on amazon, close out for $49. Well worth it.

OK... I usually keep it in this bag for extra protection and also when I just want to bring it alone... SwissGear Lunar 10.2 inch Netbook/ Ipad Sleeve, BlackAnd then I can put the entire setup (above) in any of the following bags for carrying: http://www.targus.com/US/productdetail.aspx?sku=CVR211 Targus Intersection Netbook Case for up to 10.2 Inch Netbooks (Burgundy) TSS09601US

I carry a laptop and books in it. My laptop is a Think Pad about 15" size and there is room for a little larger computer. I can put about 5 good sized text books in as well along with note books, cords, snacks, drinks, etc.

This bag will hold several smaller books, writing utensils, cell phone, tablet, etc. but not a binder or a textbook. I can put in several file folders with my Chromebook. It's just not really large enough to replace a full-fledged book bag.

Hi Luke, did you find any suitable caddy for your ACER E5-571. I have the same laptop. I was wondering which caddy worked best for you.
