About the G-Tech Psycho

Ralph Graves
The G-Tech Psycho is more than a rugged backpack for your school essentials — it's also a great way to enjoy your iPod with convenient remote operation. The backpack's single strap has a control panel that connects to your player through a built-in docking cable. You can change the volume, skip forward or back through songs, pause and turn the power on and off — all while your iPod is tucked safely away in a dedicated pocket inside the bag.

The Psycho bag features a roomy, padded main compartment, as well as side pockets for your sports bottle, PDA, cell phone and other items. There's also a headphone jack built into the strap, so you can enjoy your music without headphone cords draped all over your backpack.

Features

Overview:  The G-Tech Psycho 5242 is a single strap backpack that lets you carry your books, other supplies, and your tunes - especially an iPod. The interior compartments are roomy enough to hold your books, with multiple pockets for the rest of your gear. On the shoulder strap there is a 5-button ElekTex® control panel, which allows you to control volume, pause, select or stop music from an iPod. You can connect your headset of choice via the universal headphone jack that runs through the shoulder strap. The backpack features a plush, padded back for comfort and the two straps with quick release connectors on the front of the backpack, finish off the look of the backpack.

Construction: The G-Tech Psycho 5242 backpack is constructed from a blend of ultra-cool 840D Duratex, hot Jacquard and super-strong 1680D ballistic nylon. The compartments are padded to protect the contents put into the backpack.

Shoulder Strap: The padded shoulder strap is adjustable and contoured for a comfortable fit. On the strap, there is a 5-button control that will allow you to pause, play, track forward, track back, adjust your volume and turn on/off your iPod portable player. There is a female stereo mini-jack headset connection above the controls that allows you to hook up any headset that you choose. The cable runs through the strap to the location where you can put your iPod.

The 5-button Control: This device is designed to work with your iPod only. The key pad features a keylock to protect against accidental operation. Keylock will automatically relock after 7 seconds of non-use. With these controls, you can pause/play, adjust volume up/down, and use track forward and rewind.

Side Mesh Pockets: On either side of the backpack there is a meshed pocket. You can use these pockets for quick access to accessories and water bottles.

Back Pocket: On the left back side of the backpack, there is a small zippered pocket where you can store small accessories like keys, change, etc.

Rugged Hand Carrying Handle: This handle is on the top of the backpack, and features a comfortable padded grip.

Large Back Compartment: This large dual zippered padded compartment is designed to store your books. Inside this large compartment, there are two mesh pockets, where you can store your iPod and other small accessories. You will also find an iPod dock connection cable with a ribbon connection that links the iPod to the 5-button controls on the shoulder strap. There is also a stereo mini-jack cable that plugs into the headphone output of your iPod and runs down the shoulder strap. The meshed pockets each have a single Velcro strap to secure the contents in place. The compartment's dimensions are: W=13.625", H=18.5", D=3.125".

Front Compartment: This compartment is a dual zippered compartment.  There is a plastic hook that allows you to securely attach keys. There is a zippered pocket underneath that gives you added storage space. Below that there are three smaller pockets that can store small accessories, like business cards, pens, batteries, etc.
