[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has to carry all of his books to and from school, so this bag is almost perfect. His books BARELY fit, so I wish it was a few inches bigger, but otherwise, it's a terrific bag.
Pros: Easy To Access Items, Easy To Carry, Easy To Identify, High Quality, Lightweight, Stylish
The Powerglide backpack is exactly what we needed. Our boys carry 36 lbs of books and equipment to school everyday, so wheels are a must. One device measures 16”x12”, making it difficult to find a bag that it fit in (equivelant to an 18.3” laptop). Although it doesn’t fit in the designated “laptop sleeve” it does fit in the large pocket.
my son had a High Sierra backpack before and the material is very thick and sturdy. This wheeled backpack has a thinner material, and the handle is not so sturdy. I am afraid the handle will be teared off soon because my son have many books inside to carry on/off vehicle, and to walk up/down lot of stairs in his school.
My teen uses this everyday at school. The lockers at school are off limits due to Covid so he has a lot to drag around. It has held up so far. It holds a lot of weight as well.
It is a great backpack build good, made study and durable. Built to last. Now I don't know if I can say the same for the handle and wheels, because just like other brands or all other brands it is the first to malfunction, break, or miss up. So I hope this brand is different and it will last a long time hoping at least 3 years or more. Also on a side note to High Sierra, for future backpacks. If they could make one where the wheels are easier to navigate. The backpack tips over for my 13 year old because he is in a rush.
