This backpack has a sleek, minimalistic design and a lot of potential, but it suffers from being overengineered, especially in the front compartment. There are at least five slim sleeves intended for items like thin books, magazines, or documents, but realistically, most people would only need one. In addition, the front section is filled with tiny pockets that seem designed for things like paperclips or sticky notes, items that don’t justify that much dedicated space. It feels like the front compartment was designed with too much complexity and not enough practicality. Personally, I would have preferred less emphasis on that section in exchange for a roomier main compartment, especially since the carry-on sleeve suggests this is more of a travel backpack than a school one. Overall, it's a well-made bag with a sharp look, but the overthought front storage gets in the way of its real-world usability.
