 best computer backpack September 9, 2007

One important feature that's not mentioned is how the design of the bag holds the laptop flat against the back, rather than hanging off it. Every other backpack I've tried or owned has always ended up with the bottom edge of the bag against the lower back, and the top of the bag falling away from the shoulders, leaving a gap between the shoulders and the top of the bag. But the way this bag is designed, the heavier the laptop, the more likely it is that it will pull flat against the carrier's back. That's the most ergonomic and reassuring carrying position I've ever had.
Every other reviewers comments about compactness, sturdiness, quality build, safe storage of delicate electronics is accurate.

This backpack is small. The only time this is a bad thing is when you try to stuff too much in.
If you can understand its size limits (no encyclopedias) you will love it.
The laptop section is well protected. A spiral notebook can fit in there, too. The camera holder is great.
The weight distribution is nice, although I have not worn it for longer than half an hour, yet. The clip in the front helps bring the weight across the shoulders and chest. No bouncing or loose straps here.
You will definitely impress people with this. Yeah I know trying to impress people is morally reprehensible, but get a grip. This backpack will make people jealous.
The top handle is very nicely padded. You could carry it across an airport just by the top handle. I got it wet tonight and there were no problems. I did not go to a water park, but the rain just beaded up and either rolled off or evaporated.
Holds a LOT more than I thought it would February 26, 2009

I received my Kata Ergo-Tech Series Sensitivity V pack today and decided to see exactly how much I could fit into it. I was concerned that I may have to leave a lens behind on an upcoming trip as others were only able to fit 2 lenses and a camera with an attached lens.
Here's what is in my Kata pack now:
* Canon Digital Rebel Xti with attached 50mm lens
* 70-300mm lens
* Fish-eye lens (in it's case/pouch)
* 18-55mm (kit)lens
* Speedflash (in it's case)
* Diffuser for speedflash
* Charger for Canon
* Extra Battery for Canon
* 2 CF cards
* External CF card reader (for laptop) and cords
* Lens care kit in pouch (air brush/ brush/ lint free wipes, etc)
* My cellphone (fit perfectly in phone area - it's a Sony Walkman phone)
* Ipod with headphones
* Notebook sized laptop (10 in screen - fit great)
* Cords/ plugs for laptop
* Assorted lens filters
I still have 4 pockets yet unused (1 each on the zipper sideways "u" shaped flaps) 1 on the strap and one on the side. I could also fit a magazine or paperback in with my laptop.
It seemed heavy at first but on the back it feels fine. We'll see how it goes after hauling it all over the islands.
My one minor complaint is the white logos showing you where things go (picture of a laptop, cell phone, Ipod). I'll be blacking that out with a sharpie as I don't care to advertise that I'm carrying those items. Also, for more security we'll be placing keyring loops on each of the zipper pulls so I can lock them together with a small padlock (since there are dual zippers on the top and bottom section).
It is gorgeous! I'm so very glad I chose this one. After searching for days for the right pack for my gear, I kept returning to Kata and the Sensitivity V. I'm so glad I did!

Not much to add to other 5-star reviews, I just want to point out that 2008 MacBook Pro 15" fits with a little pushing sideways.

I used to carry everything in a regular backpack made by Tumi, but I've replaced it with this bag. Being a lover of well-designed gear, I really appreciate the Kata Sensitivity. It holds my MacBook, Nikon D70 and 18-200mm lens, flash and another lens in the lower compartment as well has having an additional compartment on top to hold even more gear. I also like the small profile. Though very spacious, it is much smaller than a normal backpack, and as others have said, I don't hit things with my bag any more when I'm wearing it in a crowded place. There are lots of useful compartments, including one without a zipper that I use for my phone. My phone, a Treo 650, however, doesn't fit into the phone pocket on the strap. I don't have any problems carrying this on one shoulder using only one strap. Also, it is very comfortable when using both straps and carries the load sufficiently high, even when fully loaded, that I don't feel off balance. All-in-all, an excellent bag, I highly recommend it.
