Burton Export Backpack with Laptop Compartment

I got this bag as my 6th grader’s backpack for the year after way too many years of bags with broken zippers and pockets full of random and totally unnecessary crap. So far it’s doing a great job. He’s able to unroll the top and get those ridiculously big 2” binders in fast, and it’s got enough space for all the schoolwork and a sweatshirt too. The curved straps stay on his shoulders well, especially with the sternum strap for an assist when he horsing around with his friends after school. He likes the fact that the zipper on the back means he can sneak a hand into the bottom of the bag to grab something small without having to shove his entire arm down into the top of the bag for it, which I thought was pretty clever.My only complaint was that it didn’t have any reflective material on it. But we fixed that by buying this wonderful fabric tape that comes in multiple colors. We bought it in smoke grey which made a really nice trim color when I put it all over. When hit with a car’s headlights the stuff lights up like a major league ballpark during the playoffs, making the bag very visible at night and still attractive during the day.Now I’m thinking of buying one of these for myself to replace a recently broken computer bag. Guess I’ll have to pick a different color or my kid will take my laptop to school!

Nice material! Great quality!!

Perfect size backpack. I love roll top backpack, I owned an timburk2 backpack before, which is a great backpack, but the size is a bit too large . This Burton backpack is perfect. I can carry my laptop safely with it with tones of other stuff without looking like going for camping. I wish the backpack is more water resistant. I walked under heavy rain without umbrella once, the main compartment is fine, but water slip into the front compartment, which is not a deal breaker , I just wish this bag to be my perfect backpack

This has been a pretty good backpack overall, but I think I may have received a slightly defective item. There is a small tear already starting to form (I am not sure if it was already there when I got the backpack or not). Other than that, it has been wonderful.

Great quality bag for a nice low price! I love it and the color wave. I get lots of compliments! Very spaces but also thin and light!
