Customer reviews
I've used this bag for two years straight and it still looks brand new. Fits all my textbooks plus my laptop sleeve with room to spare.
Holds everything I need but it does feel a bit oversized when it's not full. Straps are comfortable even with heavy loads though.
Affordable, durable, and roomy. I switched from an expensive brand and honestly this performs just as well for way less money.
Wish it had a padded laptop compartment. I have to use a separate sleeve to protect my computer, otherwise it's a solid backpack.
Bought this for freshman year and it survived all four years without a single rip or broken zipper. Definitely recommend for students.
