Granite Gear Brule Backpack, Gooseberry, Gooseberry

This backpack is designed for classrooms, I get that it's not meant to be a super comfortable backpacking backpack, but wowza is it painful on my back. It's stiff and distributes the weight in odd spots - not at all comfortable to wear.They also make a big deal about the upright design (tall and skinny instead of wide back-to-front), which seems cool until you realize you can't fit more than two textbooks in there without having to attempt stacking them in a weird way.But hey, it looks cool and has a great build quality (granite gear makes solid stuff). I just wish it were more comfortable or was actually designed with consideration of actual student needs.In short, when they say "unrivaled comfort," they may be saying it's the absolute worst in comfort.

I need a durable, comfortable, waterproof backpack due to having a motorcycle as my primary mode of transportation. This is a fantastic backpack, highly recommended. Huge amount of waterproof storage space in a compact sized backpack. Very comfortable even when heavily loaded.

Overall great back pack. But the handle on top breaks on the 2nd week
