Love the cheetah print, it’s subtle but not boring. It seems to be very well constructed, I think it will last a long time. The inside linings are cool too, but this particular style “Prom Pack” has a really annoying problem. When you set it down, it always tips forward and falls onto the front of the pack, so it will get dirty if you put it on the ground or floor. I don’t know why this bothers me, but I find it hugely irritating. I constantly have to maneuver it to lean against something when I put it down so it doesn’t tip over and spill the contents. And, since it always wants to tip over, it’s really hard to get my books out. I feel like I’m always fighting with the stupid thing! IMO, it only holds about 3 big books. I can only fit 2 giant sized microbiology books, a 14″ mac laptop, a thin notebook and plastic 3 pocket folder in the pack, so if you need to carry more, pick a different style-the cheetah pattern comes in other styles besides “Prom Pack”. I found the pockets on this bag to be fairly standard, with the exception of the soft lined sunglasses pocket on the top, and the little pockets on the sides. I put keys, lip gloss, gum and other small stuff in them that I don’t want to dig for. There’s also a pocket that’s lined for food, but it’s only useful if you eat flat food, and I seriously doubt its insulating power. I’m impressed with the quality of this brand, just not the Prom Pack style.

It has lots of room for all of your books and many pockets for other items. It is made tough and rugged. Just love it.

backpack for my 16 year old daughter. It was quite a process for her to pick just the right one. It arrived the day after ordered it and she is very happy with it.

The Dakine backpack has a very nice design and size. Mine is in the “cheetah” color.
Formerly, I had a bulky navy Jansport bag, that was too big and not stylish at all. I decided to look for another bag upon starting college and stumbled upon this one. The reviews and price were reasonable, so I bought it. And I’m glad I did!
I can fit a lot in it and it never feels uncomfortable. The shoulder straps are nicely padded so shoulder strain is not as high. It has several compartments; I put my books and notepads in the first one, cellphone, mirror, mp3 player, calculator & other necessities in the 2nd compartment, and my water bottle & snacks in the smallest zipper compartment. There is also a front pocket, 2 side pockets, a laptop holder, and a pouch at the top of the bag. That’s a lot of space! It fits everything I could possibly need on any given school day. The inside design is also very colorful and pretty.
If you need a durable backpack that fits a lot of stuff, but don’t want to give up style or a compact size, the Dakine Prom Pack is a great option. There are many different styles/patterns available as well. Great for college students, high schools students, and so forth. Highly recommended!

The bag is sturdy and well-padded, comfy to wear even when full of overlarge physics textbooks. It’s made of waterproof material, so my books never get wet and my notes aren’t ruined. My 15.4 laptop fits fine in the laptop pouch. Currently the bag has a laptop, a 1-inch binder, a folder, a medium textbook, a solutions manual, an agenda, and a pencil case in the main pouch, and it could hold a bit more. I’m sure the front cooler pocket would be good for lunches, but I can’t really say as I actually keep my hat and mitts in there. The medium pocket has a smaller zipped pocket in it, as well as some of those little open-top pockets for a cell phone, an iPod, and pens. There are also two other small zippered pockets on the bag, and a collapsible water-bottle holder.
My favourite part is that the bag doesn’t have those elastic cord thingies on the outside, like it’s pretending to be a camping backpack or something. It’s a school bag for college students, it works like one, and it looks like one.
