“I love my bag so much, I got it in the moss green color when it was available for the summer. I use it for college and it fits my laptop, books, and daily necessities. I love the leather handle clasp, makes it very easy to pick up and carry. I have scoliosis and back pain, and this backpack hasn't hurt my back and I feel like I've had less back pain! The waterproof pocket is great for wet umbrellas and I use the top pocket for my glasses and fragile things. Overall great bag and it makes me very happy that it will never be back in the landfill!”
“This is a really solid, thoughtfully designed backpack. The zippers feel fluid and sturdy. The fact that the front opens all the way is really useful. Sleek profile and the handles are useful. My only hope is that they make an XL version, one with some designed storage areas for pens and the cable accessory.”
“I am really enjoying my backpack in Dandelion Yellow! Not only is it very sturdy and roomy, but deep and large enough for all of my essentials. I cannot wait to use it when I am back on campus. I was nervous for the larger size to be overwhelming for my petite frame (5"1'), but thankfully it is not! I do not look like a small Atlas with a huge backpack on my shoulders. The design of the backpack is well done, the straps are comfy and the bag does not bulge or sag in places; it stays in shape! I also love the compartments, everything feels secure and I am not worried about things falling out. I would like to add that since the water bottle compartment is size specific, though different sizes could not every bottle will fit, and because it lives inside the backpack it takes up some space. People who are considering this backpack will have to keep this in mind, but it does not bother me as I prefer all my belongings to be securely stowed away and there are many bottle options available.”
“I got the backpack in dawn grey! I was worried about it being so big it would make me look dorky, because the guy modeling the pink backpack sort of looks like a turtle, but it’s not a problem at all! (I’m 5’4, 175lbs) I was also a little concerned about the color being too light and it being prone to staining, but like another review said, the backpack is a light khaki in person, and resistant to staining! I LOVE this backpack, I just hope they bring back the maple brown color!”
“I love the backpack because of the well thought design. I wish it was not as heavy, though. Maybe thinner and lighter fabric (without compromising the durability) would be great. Also the zipper holder came off the first week. Slipped it back on but maybe needs better quality zippers?”
