This is a very well made backpack - 2nd time purchasing! My son Carrie’s the first for 3 years to school but the zipper broke but the backpack is still in great condition. This will more than likely last him the next 4 years through high school!
My two high schoolers love them, they look study. Will see how they will hold up.

Great Features however tears easily

I bought this backpack 5 months ago and I loved it for the many features it had. The many compartments helped me manage my OCD and organised everything perfectly. However, for the price, the quality is not bad but definitely could be better. In just two months I had fabric tears on the part where the straps connect to the main body. In 4 months I had tears on the water bottle mesh and it's beginning to spread. Other than that, it's a great backpack and would recommend buying it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

2 out of 5 stars. My son loves this backpack because it fits everything and unfortunately I have to buy a new one before the year is done. His ripped at the shoulder strap and it hasn’t even been a full school year, just bought it in August. I hope the next one lasts until the end of next year. This is unacceptable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
