Great packpack

This seems like a good bag and will work well for the trip I am going on in a few weeks however it is the wrong color. I ordered the green bag because green is my favorite color and it looked really close to my favorite shade. When I opened the package I was disappointed to find the gray/black bag. However, this is overall a really good quality bag

I love that this backpack has tons of compartments and zippers, that's a plus. However, I find that the clasps for the buckles on the front don't stay latched very well, you have to line them up perfectly for the magnets to attach, and the material which imitates leather looks cheaply made. I wish companies would not cut corners when it comes to leather, but I realize it comes down to the bottom dollar. It just makes items look so cheaply made. That is my main complaint with this backpack. For the price, I feel that it could be nicer. I'm keeping the backpack because I do like the look overall and the spaciousness it has. The color is also fabulous! I hope it will at least hold up for a few years for my travels and hiking.

I like how this backpack looks. It also feels like it's much higher quality than my old backpack (the embark jartop one from target). It's not as flimsy, and it keeps it's shape when you set it down. The handle on top is nicely padded, and the shoulder straps are alrightly padded. It's not the best padded shoulder straps, but they're at least better than my old ones, and they feel comfortable enough to wear. The backpack's also pretty spacious and has a nice amount of pockets. I especially like the addition of the zipper pocket inside the main compartment and the pocket on the outer backside. I feel like I have more negative things than positive things to say about it, but I'm just not great at complimenting. I actually quite like it overall and plan to use it for the next few years. Here are my complaints. Firstly, when you open the main compartment, if you have anything in the two bottle holders, like a bottle and an umbrella, those items will get in the way of your zippering. This is why I prefer my old backpack's jartop opening. Secondly, neither the compartment at the back nor the padded laptop sleeve within the main compartment have a false bottom or any sort of bottom padding. This means that, if you put a laptop in there, when you set your backpack down, you'll have to be gentle. Otherwise, your laptop will hit the surface. I use the inateck laptop sleeve with this shockproof rubber material, so I don't hear any noise of laptop hitting surface when I set my backpack down, but it does take up a good amount of space. Thirdly, the magnets for the buckle are difficult to click into place. I often have to slowly move the magnets around until they click into place. If I just close the flap, they won't attach securely. Fourthly, this second compartment (fourth pic), which they call the phone and organization pockets in their video, only comes with one zipper! It feels like they skimped out on me. Can't I have one more zipper? It's a small thing and it doesn't take much more effort to zip further, but it still annoys me. Fifthly, their easy access pocket (third pic) goes all the way down. Other people might like this, but I prefer a shallow easy access pocket, because many things I like easy access to are small items. With this pocket, any small items will just get lost and jumbled up at the bottom, and you won't be able to see down there very well. You'll have to feel around to get any specific small item you put in there. For now, I just keep a spare mask inside a ziploc bag in there. I feel like it's made more for things that are thin and long like letters. Finally, I'm not sure why this is, but the brown backside is much more exposed from the side view when you wear it compared to the backside of my old backpack. With my old backpack, you wouldn't really see any of the backside from the side view when I'm wearing it, but with this backpack, you see quite a bit. It feels odd for me to look at. Oh, actually, one last thing. This is my first time using a canvas backpack, and it's certainly heavier than the polyester ones I've had before. Still, now that I no longer carry textbooks around, it feels light enough for me to carry around.

The bag is amazing in all fronts, small little pockets to store things like my wallet and etc let me have quick access to the things I need for every class. My only gripe which is extremely specific to just me is that when I try to hold my tennis racket in the bag, the way the zipper is oriented makes it so that the zipper will get undone as you walk around. Extremely minor, but I still love the bag. ( -o-)b

I was looking to replace a similarly sized sling bag with a backpack for better weight distribution when carrying. I’m a petite person, (5’1” under 110lbs) and this bag is a great size for me. It holds my 13” hp laptop, power cord, mouse, 5”x9” agenda, 9”x12”portfolio, & 35’ tape measure with space left for all the extras like a small makeup bag, mobile phone, pens, wallet, sunglasses, etc… I fit a 20oz water bottle (car cup holder diameter) in the side pocket, but I am stretching it to its limit. I typically put my compact umbrella in the other side pocket. Only improvement I’d suggest is a two-way zipper on the secondary compartment. My only complaint is the interior smelled terrible at first. Almost fishy or rotten. I sprayed it down with rubbing alcohol & then followed that with febreeze a few times with some success but found putting a few drops of essential oils on cotton rounds and placing them in each compartment worked best to eliminate the fouls odor.

Love all the pockets and that the softness inside keeps my e-reader screen safe. Also love that it has two water bottle pockets so I can put a hot water stainless steel bottle for tea in one and my cold water bottle in the other when I go to work. It's quite comfortable to wear. I'm not a small person and the padded part of the shoulder straps could be a few inches longer or the D-rings attached lower so they rest in front of my shoulders, but comfort-wise, I think it's great. I've recommended it to others! Also loved the bookmark that came with it!

I liked. -meterial It was very sturdy and padded well enoough. Lifting from the the straps I could feel the whole bag being pulled up. The cheaper feel like they are being pulled from the connection points. Magnets on the front straps was a nice touch. I ordered this ready for the hassle of having to u buckle the front pocket all of the time but it was a lot easier with the magnets instead. I keeps it shape most of the time while my old one would melt on top of itselft whenever I placed it down somewhere. I did NOT completely like the laptop pocket since that was the main reason for upgrading. The listing sais it is for a 15.6" laptop. While it technically did fit my laptop. It was barely in my comfort range. I would of preferred if there was a tiny bit more wiggle room. The corners are at a slight risk in my opinion and Everytime I pull it out, I'm in the position of having the zipper brush against it. It's not an issue now but years of pulling out my laptop will definitely cause some wesr and tear on it from the zipper teeth. Over all though I'm pretty happy with the design and quality of this bag. I did remove the logo from the front because I thought it was a bit to big. But still. I really like this bag and would recommend it. Also the yellow bottle in the photo is a Takeya 32Oz bottle. Dimensions: 10.24”H x 3.58”W x 3.82”D. I believe it is the comfortable limit of the bottle pockets. Anymore and it might not last long. Would recommend any 24Oz but current heat in San Jose has me carrying the 32Oz. Very useful pockets.
