Love the bag. I put my laptop in the sleeve directly in front of the laptop sleeve. The actual laptop sleeves bottom has no padding and leaves the laptop a bit vulnerable. The pocket I use has a few lines of stitching between its bottom and the floor. It has so many pockets with sleeves for all your necessities. Great for being a student.

Good rainproof backpack but my son bought it in June and the plastic part of the strap broke in March-not even one yr!

Caveat-my rising college freshman hasn’t actually used this at college yet. That being said, this seems very well made. It’s well padded, has lots of pockets for organization, and passed our in-home water resistance test. The zippers work well, maybe a little too well. My freshman is going to have to remember to zip everything to one side or buy a carabiner to hook the zips together so they don’t separate. UPDATE: A year & half later it’s still going strong. My kid is halfway through sophomore year—with two majors and two part-time jobs— and it barely looks used. It’s held up well to rainy/snowy treks to campus & cramped seating on public transportation.

My son has been using this bag for about two months as his school bag. We really like that it has a number of different compartments. He can put folders in one area, his computer in another, and books, papers, and pencils in other compartments. The straps and zippers seem to be of good quality. The plug-in for a phone and charger is cool, but he hasnt used it yet. I think one other thing I would like on a bag like this is a strap or attachment mechanism between the two straps once the bag is put on. This helps keep the straps from slipping off and keeps the bag snuggly on the back. But this is a great backpack.

Durable bag, easy to carry. Took it on vacay last week. very good bag

Well is excellent I love it I used it for my books and laptop and also my tablet. I recommend this backpack to any student.

I love this backpack for traveling but the zippers do not stay closed . I have to use large paper clips to keep them closed to avoid losing anything. I have back problems and it is very comfortable to wear, however I have had issues with the straps slipping. I may have to stitch them in one place so they do not continue to loosen as I am wearing it through the airport the next time.
