    I love this backpack so much. I was looking for a backpack for my daughter since her old one ripe inside her backpack. When it came, she was super excited to see her new backpack. She ended up loving it so much as I do.

    Amazing bag

    Great back pack for school, work, traveling, and basically anything that needs to be carried. I’ve used for school easy to clean lots of big pockets fits most water bottles 100/100! Would buy again.

    Already have to replace

    This lasted about 1 school year and I already have to replace. I remember when Jansport was the top of the top and they’d last through several school years. Not anymore.

    Great for the growing kids!

    My son was needing a backpack that was a little bigger this year to be able to hold all the school goods. This one has been perfect since the purchase. I haven’t heard no complaints yet!

    Not worth the price tag

    These backpacks used to be made of a soft, sturdy woven canvas material and a true suede leather bottom that lasted years. Not anymore. Today's versions are a cheap, plastic-y fake polyester with a playdoh leather bottom that rip, tear and wear through within months, yet the cost has not reflected the diminished quality. So disappointed.

    Great Sized Backpack!

    I got this backpack in the purple color and at first I thought it was too bright but have grown to love it. All the pockets on the backpack and designated laptop pocket is game changer. I am a person who always feels like I need more space but this product is more than enough. Snag it while its on sale!

    Bought the bugs vibe...

    Purchased the bugs vibe and it was clearly printed off. Most of the bugs are completely blurry. Reached out to customer service and got told there was nothing they could do and to return it.
