Solid Backpack But Limited In Function

I bought this backpack with the intention of using it for multiple things (taking it to the gym, hiking, work, trips, overnight trips, etc.). Unfortunately, the structure of the backpack does not allow for you to stuff clothes in it and despite the volume it claims to be, it is much smaller inside than what I expected. The hard back panel also restricts how much stuff you could put in there and I'm considering possibly removing it to add volume and function to my bag. If you just wish this to be a school or work backpack, it's fine for that and solidly built. It has a solid laptop slot and enough room for a few books or files. But if you plan to use it for other purposes, you will probably be disappointed. I do like the extra organization of the inner pockets and the cushioning inside. I like that there is a slot for a water bladder and it is structured for hiking (though not sure you could put much in it beyond what is needed for a couple hour hike). As I said, I was hoping to take it to the gym but would have to connect my shoes and things to the outside of the pack if I really wanted to do that.

Worth The Price

We have now bought this bag in multiple colors for our teenagers. It's great quality and survives the daily haul. A little pricey, but worth it!

This Product Is Great For School

I use this backpack for school and it is super comfy and somehow super lightweight even with all my heavy books. The only thing about this backpack that I didn't like was the balance issue it has a hard time standing on its own but overall a great bag.
