Q: does this have a handle in hidden pocket at back with wheels? really hard to tell from pics. or is that just a different version?
submitted by AndreaInVA - 4 years ago
A: the picture was confusing, but the backpack is sitting on top of a suitcase. That is where the handle is coming from. That backpack h as an elactic strap that will fit over a luggage handle.

Q: Is this bag waterproof?
submitted by Matt - 7 months ago
A: Waterproof camping spray 100% It REALLY works! I made a coat waterproof for 5+ years Personal experience and from many years of retail, water resistant means nothing, think of windbreakers you’ve bought, or even fashionable RAIN coats.

I purchased this bag for my son back in May and the zipper damaged in less than 4 months. I do not recommend this bag for students. It may work better for adults as a travel bag.

I currently have a grace whiskey your bag that's perfect for travel and I was looking to upgrade however this one has very uncomfortable straps I really like how the pockets are organized but the straps cut into my arms it's so weird and uncomfortable so I'm taking it back. I'll stick to my gray swiss :-)

My son LOVES this backpack! We got this to replace his Mavrick backpack that the zipper split on and one zipper fell off of. I have NO REGRETS! It’s sturdy, has tons of pockets and keeps him super organized.

I was considering this backpack along with several others that were priced up to four times higher. As a commuter for work and college, I often carry valuable items like my MacBook, iPad, and various other essentials. Therefore, I needed a backpack that was spacious yet not bulky, comfortable to wear, and durable. I really appreciate this backpack for its functionality and affordability. I believe it will last me well beyond grad school. It's one of my best purchases for college.

For my kid, this is perfect for back to school! There is a lot of room, multiple pockets for organizing and both a tablet sleeve and laptop padded sleeve. The mesh pockets on the sides are great for water bottles or pens and pencils that need to be grabbed quickly. The mesh airflow channel in back, padded straps and padded back help make it a confortable fit. Highly recommend!
Well made

I needed a new bag for college that wasn’t super bulky, but also could hold a lot of stuff including my laptop. The backpack is light, yet durable and holds a lot while looking less bulky than my previous backpack. This backpack is also super water proof! The other day I was caught in some heavy rain without an umbrella and had to walk for like 10 mins to my car and absolutely nothing inside got wet! Really happy with this purchase :)
Very durable

Great durability! Used by a high schooler at a tech school. So it not only holds school work but sometimes helmets, boots and tools. We’ve had zippers bust on many other backpacks but this one has held up.
Best backpack ever
