Great middle school backpack

Bought this backpack for my middle school aged son to carry the ~12 lbs of papers and notebooks that teachers require they bring everyday. Its a great bag - holds a lot without looking oversized and the straps are nice and padded. He loves it. The clip for keys and the mesh compartment in the small pocket are very helpful. There's even an separate zip compartment for a pair of sunglasses.
I had a similar model but didn’t have side pockets for drinks. After 3 years I figured I would get a new one. It’s a little softer than my first one but otherwise the same great quality! I like the environmental component of how these are made and I am by no means extreme on the subject. I just think it’s responsibly brilliant! You will not be let down my this product. I work in Chicago, walk to work and use this bag daily plus to travel twice a week. It’s excellent!
The bag arrived with an awful musty odor. The smell was so bad that the entire bedroom smelled musty from the bag. I put it out in the sun and sprinkled some baking soda inside the bag for an entire weekend. It didn’t help with the odor at all. I took it back to the store and they wouldn’t take it back because of the baking soda dust. I even wiped it down with vinegar but the musty smell wouldn’t go away. I ended up just throwing the backpack away! So awful
