Mountain Hardwear's Enterprise Pack

It's that time of year again: back to school. Every year at this time students are out looking for a new backpack for the year, often having to replace theirs every year. Why not go ahead and get a pack that will last, one that will stand up to the rigors of student life?

I want to highlight the Mountain Hardwear Enterprise pack in light of this. Sure, there are other high quality daypacks available, but lets take a closer look at this one.

The Mountain Hardwear Enterprise pack is definitely a school/work backpack that crosses over to the trail, not from the trail to the classroom. That in mind, it features Mountain Hardwear's same great workmanship.

The pack is 1900 cubic inches (31 Liters) in volume, only a meager 50 cubic inches bigger than your average school backpack, but every little bit helps. It's plenty big for a few school books and notebooks, but don't try and carry your locker around with you; you can't do that with most school packs anyways. It weighs in at 2.5 lbs (1.14 kg) and is constructed from durable Cordura nylon.

The quality is truly in the details. The first thing you'll notice about this pack is the well-padded backpanel and shoulder straps. These are often skimped areas on school packs, but not so here. The Cordura nylon is beefy and should last a long time under normal use. What really shows the attention to detail is the fleece underside to the grab handle on the back of the pack. I grab it and everything just feels right.

In addition to the above mentioned features of quality, the pack also boasts a fleece lined electronics pocket, sunglass pocket, and organization pockets. The organization pockets feature one for phone and a padded one for an mp3 player. The Enterprise also gives you a spot for a laptop with its suspended laptop sleeve. Suspended laptop sleeves are designed to keep the computer from hitting the ground when set the pack down. If you can't picture, stop by the shop and we'll show you.

Well, there you have it. An overview for one of the nicest backpacks for the classroom or office. Give it a look yourself, I'm sure you'll like it.
