Reliable purchase, good value

I bought this to replace my prior bought a few years ago and, like other reviewers have mentioned, the quality is not as good. The fabric and construction are not as sturdy, features missing such as an extra pocket and hook hanger. I will miss those, but will probably buy again. Especially when there are sales, it's still good value for the price.
I purchased this backpack for my 15-year-old with high expectations given Herschel’s reputation, but both of us were disappointed. The overall look and finish feel quite average, and the size is smaller than expected. For the price, it doesn’t offer the quality or value we anticipated. Unfortunately, I’m left wishing I had returned it, as there are far better options available in the market.
I decided to get the Herschel Classic XL Backpack and it fits the Herschel Heritage Lunch Box and my three 32 oz water bottles I bring to work each day. It also holds my laptop and any additional items I bring!
