Just enough
Just the right size for a laptop, files and books for several days out of the office without feeling too big. Many of the competitive bags are bulky and feel overweight even when empty.

Solid Product
One of the nicest packs that I have ever owned. I started looking for a new pack after I got my laptop and came across the Osprey Flux. This pack fits my laptop perfectly and still has plenty of room for the other things that I carry to and from work and on the weekends when I am traveling. I really like the small feel that this bag has, but it has tons of room to get everything for a day hike in it or for carrying things around campus. The thing that I really like are all of the big pockets in this bag, it really allows you to organize the gear that you are carrying around. I think one of the only draw backs on this pack are the small water bottle pockets that is has. It is hard to fit a standard 32 oz water bottle in the pockets, besides that no other real complaints on this pack. I would highly recommend it to anybody looking for an active pack to use for work, school, or day hikes.

Excellent Pack
I got the Flux Daypack for my new Mac Book. I wanted someting that I could use on campus but could also be used outdoors. It has plenty of storage for books or gear and it has great back support for hiking and other outdoor uses. It is great.

very good, but room for improvement
I started looking for backpacks with a strict criteria - I needed a decent sized day pack which was comfortable for riding (I ride my pushie to and from work), I also needed a laptop sleeve. After heaps of searching I found the flux. I have a big laptop (dell inspiron 6000) so I thought it best to go to a store to check it out in person to make sure it fits, etc. I found it very comfortable even with my laptop strapped in. The compartments are relatively spacious. Compared to my previous daypack - northface recon - it seems a taller, but also thinner (ie it doesn't protrude far out from your back) - meaning once you have a laptop in, there's not much space for bulky items. You could probaby fit in another set of clothes for an overnight stay, not much else though. I do miss having a stretcheable mesh front to whack a jacket/helmet in, etc. but it doesn't really worry me. Overall it's fit my criteria nicely - a few adjustments and you'd have a little gem. This is the best I've found amoungst the very limited range of "active" laptop bags!

Great pack but has an issue.
My MP3 player lives in my backpack so I thought I would get this one seeing as how it has a pocket specificly for an MP3/CD player. But that pocket is also the lid for the laptop pocket. This creates problems when trying to get out your laptop with a bulky 40 gig zen in the way. Other than that it's an absoloutly awesome pack. Fits really tight to your back and makes an excelent urban bike riding pack. Has plenty of nifty pockets and will keep your stuff dry when walking/riding in a light downpour.
