Absolutely worth it.

Bought this for my daughter because her old one was finally showing signs of needing repair. Great backpack. Lasted her through high school and most of college along with many travel adventures.

Well designed backpack

My granddaughter really liked this for a Christmas gift. She plans to use it when traveling or hiking. She particularly likes having the elastic on the back to carry extra items. She also liked the way it fit on her shoulders and back, so that not all the weight was hanging from her shoulders.
