“Overall, this is a great backpack. You can tell by using it and opening / closing pockets, etc.. that it is extremely high quality. I'm sort of a bag nerd and this is without a doubt my favorite backpack I've owned. There's literally 2 things I wish were different:
1) in the first full size zippered pocket where there are currently 2 interior mesh pockets.. I wish there were some additional small zippered pockets and pen slots.
2) on the front of the bag, underneath the flap where the open pocket is, I think it would be nice to have a zipper there or even magnets. Having an open slit pocket, even though it's under a flap, is hard for me to trust. Unless I'm putting something in there such as a book or notepad, I'm afraid most other items would find a way to fall out.
Other than that, it's just about perfect and I can't wait to use it more!!”
“Backpack is very nice looking. The water bottle pocket is a little small for me though. Probably can’t fit more than a small (less than 12oz.) HydroFlask in there. I wasn’t a fan of the ‘Made in Portland’ patch just slightly above the ‘Made in Vietnam’ tag inside the bag though and that was my reason for returning. I wish more of their products were actually made in the US. Or at the very least assembled in the US.”
