This is by far my favorite backpack of any I have owned. I bought it December 2014 primarily to take a days worth of snacks for 3 kids to Disneyland. It had enough sections to keep snacks, water bottles, jackets, etc. organized. It has excelled in every setting since, and has become my preferred bag for any kind of travel. I can take everything I need for a few days to anywhere. The top handle is padded and sturdy, feels great in the hand when the bag is heavy. The zippers are among the best I have ever seen. It fits under an airline seat when full. The side mesh pockets are great for water bottles or umbrellas. It is well made and has held up perfectly over the years, today still looks almost like new. I plan to use it for many years into the future.If I could design a perfect backpack, I would start with this one and change only a few things. I don't care about USB charging ports, you can push your charging cable through the headphones port on the front pocket - keeping your battery charger in one of the smaller dividers. I do wish it had a luggage strap on the back, but there are other ways to strap a bag on top of a wheeled carryon. I personally don't travel with a laptop so I have no use for the lay-flat rear laptop zippered section that other backpacks have. I like the way this has a zipper above the padded computer sleeve in the back, for easy access to whatever you have in that section. A "hidden" pocket on the back would be nice, for passports or money. I have always been a little puzzled at the two zippers that access the same main rear pocket, it would make more sense if the laptop section was completely separate since it has its own zipper.Overall it's a well made, comfortable, versatile backpack. I expect it to perform well for many years to come.

This backpack is the best backpack i’ve ever bought. It has not a single scratch after having it for years, so it is very durable. It has many pockets for all of your belongings. Very versatile. I used this bag throughout my whole highschool life and now i am using it for college. The size of this bag is perfect. It is very stable and can be adjusted on how well it is on you.

This backpack is durable as ever and has lots of useful pockets and things like that. This is mu second purchase of the item. It lasted about two years so it is worth the money.

I'd like to start off by saying this backpack is very well thought out and while I do think it's high quality and very durable, it just isn't quite the backpack for me. The rugged material is great, the organization is excellent, but it ends up seeming huge even with only a few items in it. This isn't unique to this backpack, and is in fact a trend over the past few years that I'm trying to avoid and just can't seem to. I thought the compression straps would help this, but they didn't do much at all since the pockets aren't included in that and even a package of wet wipes seem to make the pockets bulge.I used this as my pack for under the seat on an airplane and to travel for two weeks around Japan. It technically fit under the seat, but it wasn't very flexible and stuck out a few inches even when mostly empty, eating up all of my leg room for a 13-hour flight. (I'm 5'6" and ANA has a little more leg room than other airlines, so I couldn't imagine this on a US domestic flight.) It would be better used as an overhead item if brought onboard, especially because if it's very full I don't know if it would be able to fit under a seat at all. I do feel like it can withstand pretty much anything, so it still looks brand new after being dragged all over different trains and planes. It was also comfortable to wear. The thick back padding that makes it inflexible DOES make it very comfortable, so I would consider that as a plus for most people.Many of the comments said the zippers were difficult. Mine were totally fine and took no breaking in to open easily. Perhaps they've updated the zippers on more recent backpacks, or only people who got unusually difficult zippers have noticed enough to comment. I wouldn't have given it a second thought.

Tiene Una Gran Capacidad, aparte de que es muy bonita, ya había tenido una antes y realmente son resistentes no la cambie por que la anterior se rompiera si no por que me la robaron, excelente producto.

Quality made bag with big zippers,i use it to transport my headphones, my cell and some documents.

Her previous backpack, which was a High Sierra and the same model, just different print, lasted for 6 years and it was bought used. It lasted being kicked across the playground, tossed around and more, and it lasted for 6 years for us! Her brother has the same one in black, and his has been around for 5 years now. My kids are not easy in their belongings, they went through dozens of backpacks over the course of a few years, but these held out. I was happy to buy this again. It works for grade school, middle school and even high school. Also, this pattern is beautiful.

What else to say? It works as of 2022

After 13 years of using my old one for continuous traveling, I decided my old one deserved rest. I totally recommend this brand!
