    Sierra Trading Post has what appears to be a great deal on a handsome Victorinox daypack, at http://www.sierratradingpost.com/Product.aspx?baseno=82988

    I think the retail (It's on sale for $69.95, down from $200) is probably accurate - Victorinox stuff is really expensive. It looks nice and has a side-entry laptop compartment. Does anyone happen to have one of these to say whether or not this is a nice pack?

    FYI, in case anyone is interested, I received this pack today. I'd say it is very good in build quality but just OK in terms of features. It only has two zippered compartments and no rings to attach a keychain or pen holders. It has a side-loading laptop compartment but only two large storage spaces with no subdividers. Most importantly, from my perspective, the side entry for the laptop compartment won't fit my MacBook. The pack is going back to Sierra Trading Post.
