35L is on sale on amazon for same price as adorama, actually being sold on amazon by adorama. Unfortunately the 25L sale price is only on adorama, costs $100 on amazon.

This is a slick price, for both but the 25L is really smoking

Reviews on the MPB35 seem extremely negative by anyone who took time to write a thorough review. Essentially they stated these are by far the worst 35L backpacks you can buy from pelican and that they seem to be closed to 25L not 35L. Main complaints being things such as you can't even fit a 17" laptop in the laptop sleeve which is embarrassing for this size bag.

For the price, you'd probably be better served by a $50 backpack from another brand as this is clearly around a $100 markup for the Pelican name alone. I assume if the 35L size is that limited than the 25L must be a real joke.

I would highly suggest seeing it in person prior to buying if you're not in the mood to return it. Seems like these are being discontinued and this is an attempt to clear inventory at still a rather high price for what it is.

As for the MPB25 version (25L) it cannot even fit a 15" laptop which is ridiculous for a $70+ backpack that went for nearly $200 at release.

I read the 35L is actually a really good size, while the 25L is too small for use. The 35L seems to have a problem being waterprooof though, but that doenst matter to me for my use. I'm just going to use for the gym, do care about the brand and style as well as appearance of build quality. This is for slow as much as function

For those looking at this 25l is very small, I'd caution against it for your use case... Even day packs I use for hiking have two water bottle holders I can't tell if this even has one.
You won't fit a towel, extra pair of shoes, etc in there without filling the whole thing up pretty much
