Jansport Gear Review

I have been using Jansport gear as a tote for my things to and from the gym, to the crag and for trips.  When I used to think of Jansport, I used to think of only school backpacks, however they actually have a huge line of Outdoor packs as well.  Web Link
Let me just take a moment to give you some feedback on several of the bags that I am using and love.
First on the list is the Snoqualmie, the perfect all around bag.
Uses:
- Couple day trip up to several months
- 5 Full sized compartments

When I first received the bag in preparation for my month long europe trip, my first thoughts were this is kinda tiny.  However, after several minutes of packing I realized that I was able to stuff about 30 shirts, 3 pants, 2 shorts, 2 sweatshirts, toiletries all into the main compartment.  (As well as some clothes + rope bag I picked up along the way) Whats nice about this pack is that when the main compartment is stuffed it does not intrude in your side compartments like some bags do.  I was then able to fit about 10 quickdraws into the first big side compartment and my socks and what have you in the smaller front pouch.  I still had another big side compartment and rear pouch left with which I filled with extra stuff.  What I am saying is you can fit a lot of stuff into this bag.  Consider this bag if you are in the market for a new travel bag, you wont regret it.
