submitted by Alina - 1 year ago
A: I've carried a fully loaded 32oz water bottle in mine and haven't had any problems or felt like I was overloading it. The side pockets are pretty roomy too
submitted byN - 1 year agoA: i had one last year and the side pockets slowly got bigger and bigger holes in them until the end of the school year when the pockets could barely hold the thermos anymore. so yes to an extent

I purchased this backpack for my freshman son who was going into ninth grade. He needed a versatile backpack that would carry his water bottles as well as his various size books and his Chromebook and notebooks as well as pencil case in addition to his accordion file for all of his work. This tote bag is very versatile has multiple pockets side pockets for his drinks and is extra padded so his shoulders don’t hurt carrying the backpack during the day. We looked at other backpacks that were 150 or 175 or $200 and this was an affordable backpack option that met all of his needs for all of the items that he packs into his backpack. He has had his backpack for six months now and it has held up very well. It is durable. It is strong since I’m sure he’s tossing it in a locker or on his bed when he gets home or on the floor and it’s still in great condition. I highly recommend this backpack if you’re looking for an affordable Backpack for your teenager since this met exactly what he was looking for for all of his subjects at school and everything that he needed to bring with him and he likes it and that’s the most important part and I haven’t heard any complaints yet about sore shoulders.

I purchased this bag for my son when he was in 6th grade, fall of 2020 and now he is in 10th grade still using the same bag. This school bag is very sturdy. Zippers and stitching are still holding up. It doesn’t even look as if the bag is going on its 5th year of being used. The back of the bag is cushioned, giving great support for the back. I repurchased the same bag recently, not that I’m replacing the other one, but because it’s such a great backpack. I could not pass up on purchasing it when I it available again. I’m sure it will work for traveling, too. It’s roomy and fits a lot, so I’m sure it will be great for weekend travel. You won’t go wrong with this purchase!
Quality of bag overall seems good - but both drink holder pockets ripped on first use.

Unfortunately this backpack didn’t hold up very well to significant use. I tend to back my bags full and I have a large laptop so I use my backpacks to the fullest. This one tore after just a few uses so it wasn’t sturdy enough for my purposes. For carrying light items, it’s a good option.

My highschool daughter really wanted this backpack and took good care of it. She loved it at first. Then like many others she had problems with the pocket seams falling apart, which makes the pockets useless. She used it for 1 1/2 school years. Very disappointed.

This is a great backpack for middle schoolers and high schoolers! It fits their laptops, binders and anything else they need. I previously bought one for my child when she started middle school. She is now using it for high school. Great quality for the price!

I bought and returned a lot of travel backpacks because none of them seemed to fit everything I wanted to take on my summer vacation. I bought this bag as a last resort and I’m so glad I did. It’s study and lightweight and ended up fitting all my clothes and shoes. Love this purchase

i'm a busy person who competes in a lot of sports at my school, and naturally i have a lot of stuff. this backpack has a square zipper that looks fine whenever you see it, but as soon as you put something in it it gets huge!! this was inconvenient and annoying, not to mention the bag ripped in several placed. i don't recommend for school or anyone who needs to pack a bunch of stuff!!
Great backpack

This bag was great, until it broke twice. I had one, returned it and the second one did the same thing and broke. Very cute but disappointed. Will not last a school year.
