Best backpack ever purchased

Exceptional quality and organization I am so beyond happy with this backpack. It has the perfect space that holds your laptop ( securely.) and many other organizational departments, I love the back are that holds your phone that’s magnetized.

Great backpack for working professionals/daily commuters
on June 6, 2025
Posted by: ConnorP
Extremely well constructed bag that will last a long time. Very good option for daily commuters and working professionals who are taking the same type of items daily (laptop, tablet, charging cords, pens/pencils, etc.).
The only downside I've seen is that the main compartment is a bit small. It would be a snug/tight fit to pack an extra set or two of clothes if staying the night somewhere. That extra space seems to have been allocated for the front two pockets for greater organization. Just something to consider if you are looking for a lot of room in the main compartment for extra clothes or just packing heavy.
The laptop/tablet compartment is quite spacious and comfortably fits my Dell XPS 15", iPad Air 11", and folders without a problem. I imagine I could get a book/magazine in there too with ease.
The water bottle pockets fit my 18oz Yeti Rambler and 24oz Owala without issue.
All zippers work great except the one in gunmetal on the frontmost pocket, which takes more force to use (perhaps due to not being broken in fully).
In all, well-thought and constructed backpack that is likely best for working professionals.

It's a great backpack. Lots of compartments to store things. I especially like the pocket on the top for a wallet and or passport.

Great pack - easy to use and very light weight (especially for the amount of cargo you can pack) Nice pocket on the side for the water bottle.

An extremely comfortable, spacious backpack, with many compartments, definitely, 100% recommended. Their bright colors are spectacular, everyone tells me beautiful things about the backpack. It's a great purchase, the water storage pocket is very practical and convenient.

It’s worth the money!

Rice had this very similar backpack that I bought 6yrs ago and it still looks brand new. I use the backpack twice a week and I carry a very large Dell Laptop. I also have a headset that I carry in the backpack. I’ve taken the backpack to Disney twice since I’ve had the backpack and it worked well. It did set off the metal detectors because of the metal plating on the inside. What I found useful was the back of the backpack has a portion that you can put through your rolling luggage at airports so it’s easier to carry. This backpack is durable and very spacious. It hold anything and everything you need to go about your day. It’s super comfy to carry. The straps are well padded and is very comfortable to wear. It’s a high quality backpack and I’ve used since 2018 or 19. I forget but it’s definitely old but doesn’t look that way. It looks as if I just bought the backpack yesterday.
The inside lining is grey/silver and I want to say it’s an insulator but I could be wrong however, overtime seems like if I put something cold inside like a chilled bottle or container it is still cold after hours of being in the bag. Could be my imagination though. Not sure! lol.
I love everything about the backpack but back when I got it, I don’t know why I chose the military camo design along with a wallet but I did. Now, looking back, I wished I got a more standard colorway like solid black or navy blue but that might just be because I’m older now. This is a BIFL kinda purchase. Yes. They’re expensive but you only need to buy it once and you’ll be able to use it for the rest of your life. I have other cheaper branded backpacks like Northface and the zippers have broken twice and I stopped using it because it broke twice and I wasn’t rough on it at all. I am rough on this one. I throw it around when I get in my car and it’s got my work laptop in it and it’s never broke. I feel like this is definitely going to last the rest of my life so it’s worth the money.
