> 24 hourCompliments: In all honesty, when ordering this backpack, I was concerned as to if it would be top-tier quality after reading some bad reviews and seeing the unusually low price. However, upon receiving it and putting it into use for 4 months, I had discovered that this backpack was most definitely top-tier quality. I am pleased with the various pockets within the backpack, as it tremendously helps — even the most messiest people, like myself — with organization and accessibility. Furthermore, a fundamental part of a backpack has to be the zippers. There’ve been plenty of backpacks where the zippers eventually give in and become useless or get caught in the loose fabric near the zipper after extensive use (I’m looking at you, Jansport). However, these zippers do tremendously well under vigorous usage and stress. I’ve stuffed this backpack to the point where I was almost certain it was gonna rip somewhere, but it all stayed intact and the zippers are completely fine. Complaint: Upon my awe at the durability of this backpack, I had forgot about one part: the straps. Unfortunately, on one occasion, I pulled too hard on the string mechanism on the strap to make it tighter, and it had ripped near the base of the backpack. Now, I am forced to uncomfortably make my daily travels around school and one-strap involuntarily 24/7. Not only does it make me look like a douche, but it really is physically displeasing. Other than the problem that the straps rip when pulled in a rough manner, I was completely satisfied with this product and wish to receive a new one after reading about the 1-year warranty. Thank you for your time, and thank you for the backpack.

> 24 hourIve been looking for a backpack to use while traveling. Im 51 so size is important to me. I wanted it to be compact and waterproof. I didnt want it to stick far off of my back to avoid turning in crowds or stores and bumping things. Theres padding in case I carry a computer or something fragile. The bottom is flat so I can put it on the floor next to me. It will easily fit under the seat in front of me on a plane. The padding does make it heavier than my non padded pack, but the straps are comfy so I dont notice the weight while wearing it. It has 2 side pockets which fit water bottles and plenty of zipper pockets inside to organize in. The straps are adjustable and long enough should my husband wear it. I am very happy with my purchase. This backpack meets all of my requirements .

> 24 hourI bought this for my 5th grader. He uses it to carry his laptop, books, supplies and water bottle to school and back home. Its been in use 4 moths...so far, so good. Its a great value for the quality and there was a large color selection. Very happy with this book bag.

> 24 hourIts the size I was looking for and I like the back pack as a whole. The only thing that kept it from being 5 stars is the rain flap over the zipper. I guess its nice that it has a rain flap, but honestly in all the years I used my prior backpack that did not have a rain cover over the zipper, I wasnt int he rain that much and never had a problem with the inside of the pack getting wet through the zipper. The rain flap makes it harder to open and close the zipper. Im debating cutting off the flap for that reason.

> 24 hourUPDATE: As soon as I posted my review, the seller reached out and offered a replacement and to work on the structure of the bag. This is fantastic customer service, hence the added star (I declined only because I am looking for a wide mouth bookbag now). Decent book bag for the price, but the inseam just above the inner mesh pocket came unthreaded and ripped after two months. I carried an old school Mac laptop, one normal sized textbook, and some notebooks. The mesh pocket itself held about 10 pens and pencils, an eraser, chapstick - your typical odds and ends for all day class. I would recommend investing in a slightly higher quality bookbag if you’ll be using it for the long run. I’m already on the hunt for a new book bag, and I purchased this in April. Not horrible, but not great for everyday use.

> 24 hourNice backpack - you wont want to get near it though. Well constructed, sturdy, very conveniently functional and excellent price. BUT IT STINKS! Mine arrived smelling like a cross between burnt tires and gas fumes. I aired it out a couple days, no change. Doused it with Fabreeze, twice! That helped for 24 hours and the smell came back. It said it was hand washable so I hand washed it and hung it outside to dry in the breeze for 2 days. Looks beautiful. Still smells awful. As in you get within 3 feet of it and it hits you with the old rubber tire smell. Im now Machine washing it, against the labeled recommendation, hoping for a backpack thats usable. I was hoping to put clothes in this and maybe my knitting when I travel but it just smells too bad to put anything in it. Review update - Customer service dept contacted me on seeing my original review and resolved the issue regarding this particular backpack. Im very impressed with their follow up and dedication to quality. And continue to be impressed with how well made and functional the backpack is.

> 24 hourI dont use this backpack for school, but I use it for work. I carry my laptop the charger and other little odds and ends. I got the backpack yesterday and I really love it! The packaging was really nice. It came with a ziplock type bag holding the backpack and inside the backpack was another bag that resembled a bag youd get at a nice shop in the mall with a little card addressing the person that purchased their product with a thank you. I was sceptical after purchasing upon looking at users pictures that the backpack would look filled out like the advertised picture, but it does! I thought the backpack would look deflated and boring like other packs. Its small but actually has a decent amount of room. The weight of the item is relatively low and with items inside it sits comfortably on the shoulders. I have yet to test the waterproofing, but as of right now Im definitely pleased. I plan on buying multiple colors to fit my wardrobe, and also to use on a motorcycle. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is scepticle. The only downside I have with it is the laptop sleeve. It has a decent amount of padding on the back side of the pack but on the bottom and front of the sleeve it feels very thin and I wouldnt trust it much to protect my laptop if it fell over or dropped on the ground. Would reccomend to add extra padding for protection. Other than that its exactly what it says! Simple and beautiful!!

> 24 hourThis backpack looks even more sleek in person, which i prefer over these bulky, baggy ones. However it fits more than it looks, while still hangs very comfortable on my shoulder with the padded back and straps. I love the 4 inside pockets and 1 padded pocket for ipad/laptop, which makes it easy to organize. My 13 inch laptop sits snuggly, with 2 thick books in the main compartment and pens in the smaller pockets. 2 water pockets on the sides are smaller than i imagined, but my favorite small water bottle fits in nicely, which is perfect as i dont like to carry a big water bottle with me anyway. I usually bring extra things for my son such as snacks, books, small toys. The zip front pocket holds all of them nicely. Leather pulls on the zipper add a nice touch to this backpack. I was pleasantly surprised to find 2 extra leather pulls in a small ziplock bag attached inside. Overall, i love love this product. Decently priced. High quality fabric/materials. Excellent functionality. Sleek shape and structure. Would purchase again in a different color. Wish theyd come out with more prints, colors.
