Sleek and comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This really is an awesome backpack. It fits everything I need for school, which is a lot, yet it's not too bulky. The design is sleek and comfortable on my back.

Stylish Backpack, Very Roomy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use the backpack for school although its original intent is for hiking trails. It fits everything I need and has a surprising amount of pockets. Overall good, the dark oak is just like the picture

Would Definitely Buy This Again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this for my son for use in college. He says it's very good quality, like the simple design and holds his contents well. He also says that the material looks and feels like it will hold up well for many years to come.

Recommend to any school/work commuter with lots of stuff

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this backpack for about a month now and it's holding up really well! I predominantly use it for commuting to and from work/school, while also using it for travel and short hikes. I really like the layout of the pockets: The laptop sleeve is the perfect size, and the cargo pockets inside the front compartment are just the right size for storing my pencils, cables, earphones, and calculator. The middle pocket is big and roomy for larger things like my raincoat, binoculars, etc. I also like the color choices a lot! At first, I thought the elastic system was ridiculous and that I'd never use it; but now I frequently use it for drying my raincoat or for latching my water bottle with a karabiner to keep it from falling out (not that that's necessary - the side pockets are sturdy and tight enough as it is). We'll see how the zippers hold up. For now, they seem much sturdier than those of backpacks I've had in the past. The only issues I have with the backpack are opportunities for improvement rather than detractors from its utility: The front-most padded zipper compartment is slightly too small to fit anything for me (I think it's meant to be a tablet compartment, but it's way too small for that). Also, if I don't have anything massive in the middle compartment, the stuff I have in the cargo pockets makes the pack top-heavy. But if you find some more stuff to put in the big compartment-or just don't have so many smaller items to keep organized-it's fine.
