Quality has Severely gone Downhill
on May 17, 2026
Posted by: Mike
I had purchased one of these bags back in 2018 and it was the best backpack I’ve ever had. I recently purchased another one and quality has completely gone down the drain. The laptop sleeve is just made out nylon as opposed to the fleece lined and padded version before. The sunglass pocket is in a better location but they got rid of the fleece in there as well. The interior lost its signature red and white color way and the bag overall looks cheap compared to what it used to. Lower quality at a higher price!

My teen daughter loves it, looks sturdy and well made, it’ll last her way beyond the year we usually use it for. It’s for her junior year in high school and has enough space for her things and sleeve for her backpack

Quality has gone down

I miss the older bag. It had fabric to prevent scratches in the sunglasses pocket and laptop pocket. This new bag offered none of that.

I liked the old design a bit better

The small pouch at top used to have a soft felt lining great for holding glasses/sunglasses. Also the laptop section in the previous model had the same soft felt lining whereas this newer design doesnt. Otherwise the pop quiz is a great backpack. I especially like the limited design I got. Sturdy zippers. However this one is replacing an older pop quiz i have that was otherwise fine except for the zipper on the front most pocket (the one with the patch on it) wore out and wouldn't open/shut anymore. Otherwise the backpack was fine so it kind of stinks to have to replace the whole thing. But I got a cool design and it was on sale.

Durable bag for work

I needed a more durable bag for work because I travel often and this one does the trick! It's also the first time I've seen a side pocket that's stretchy enough to fit a decent size water bottle.

Almost great

I have had my pop-quiz back pack for 8 years, (2 years of little use because of work from home), so 6 years of solid use. I love this backpack, it has been great. This would b 5 stars through and through, but the "vegan leather" or "poly leather" on the bottom of the bag has been wearing off for about a year now. it is getting to the point that anywhere I set the back it leaves a brown skid mark! lol - that aside, this bag has been great. remember i have the 2017 version, from the other reviews, seems like the bag has taken some turns on design and quality. i would recommend adding a true leather bottom, or just using heady canvas, and go back to the more padded inner pocket.
