 plenty of room Oct 07, 2010
By teebone
my son is in high school, and refuses to use a locker. this means he carries everything with him. so we go through a lot of book bags. this is the first one that holds all his stuff. i'm still amazed.

Inexpensive, big, durable and lot of pockets Jun 15, 2011
By P. Clare
I need a big backpack for nursing school and I'm way too cheap to buy the roll around luggage that is so popular amongst the overburdened. This backpack is the deepest I could find for the price. It's big enough for my needs and has lots of pockets, which I love. I though the picture was ugly, but the backpack is much better looking in real life. The material is not as cheap as I thought it would be and it seems to be a solid construction. All in all this was a great buy.

Good big backpack for a nice little price Jul 25, 2011
By JediTricks
I bought this for a vacation when my old backpack died, I spent a couple hours researching inexpensive, Amazon Prime-eligible backpacks and finally settled on this one despite its lack of a laptop compartment. The bag arrived just in time and held WAY more than I was expecting, I've used it exactly 1 week to this day, and so far it's done very right by me.
Lots of pockets, sections, little places for pens and what have you, the design has a lot of variety which means versatility. The top handle does its job fine, the main straps have plenty of length for my large, 6-foot frame, and the adjustment slider-lock-things never gave up an inch - I hate sliders that fail. Comfort was fine even on 1 shoulder. The main compartment is cavernous, and the use of adjustable side-snaps to contain the upper part of the main compartment goes a long way to rein in floppiness. The mesh water bottle pocket on the side is a bit large for the little 500ml waters I usually buy, they were loose but never slid out. Build quality for what I paid is downright decent - no loose threads or thin panels or dead zippers or poorly-stitched sections - everything was nice.
This is not an ideal bag for a netbook or an ipad or any medium-small device without secondary protection, they will bounce around inside, the bag is too big for that sort of thing, and the smaller pockets - while considerable - are too small for something like that. But MP3 players, phones, digital recorders, 6" tablets and e-book readers, that sort of thing, there's a nearly endless supply of storage for that, and while I haven't used it yet, the cord pass-through port on the upper right leads to a clear-fronted hanging pouch at the top of the main compartment - not a new concept perhaps, but a welcome additional level of versatility. The number of places to put things can be overwhelming, but if you plan out your packing based on priority the way I do, you'll appreciate the ability to have quick sections on the front that just zip straight for notepads and pencils, and curved zip pockets behind them which hold so much more before even getting into the main compartment. Or, if you're in a rush, you can just dump stuff in the 2 larger front compartments and still have enough room to rummage through those sections later when you have time.
In terms of looks, the pictures are mostly accurate - mine doesn't have the red circle dealies, but the rest is true. However, I agree with the other reviewer who said the photos really don't convey the quality, it doesn't look cheap or thin in real life, the back is padded, the gray isn't tacky, the mesh is tight. I had it next to a friend's backpack that was similar in coloring and cost around 5x as much as I paid, and he was constantly mistaking my bag for his.
My review cannot yet speak to the longevity of this backpack since I've only had it 1 week, but I don't get the sense that it's going to fail me. Yet even if it did, at this price I'd happily buy another of it.

College Worthy Aug 22, 2011
By Sammy
Have had this product for a little bit and it hasn't let me down! Great product, especially for the price. Holds my 15" laptop, my smaller art supplies, doesn't add weight, has lots of pockets. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a built-in laptop sleeve, but I'm not going to be picky because of the price and the fact that in general the bag is great. I'd definitely recommend this to a friend, and fellow students.
