High Sierra Loop-Backpack, Travel, or Work Bookbag with tablet-sleeve, Polka Dot, One Size

We purchased this backpack and with it, did day hikes on the Wedgemount, Joffre Lakes, Rainbow, and Garibaldi Lake Trails in Whistler, Canada (totaling 3370 meters / 2.1 miles in ELEVATION gain, and 58 kilometers / 36 miles in distance hiked). We hiked in both rain and shine. We used every compartment and strap, opened and closed the pack multiple times during the hikes. The backpack still looks brand new. Not only that, it's stylish enough where you could just keep a couple items in it and walk around the city during the daytime (heard strangers commenting "that's a cool backpack").The 2 mesh side compartments hold 1 L water bottles perfectly. There are 2 small lateral zipper compartments, located along the topside of the backpack, that fit wallets/cell phones/keys perfectly. You can also fit an IPhone5 into the front shoulder mesh pouch, for even easier access, and tuck your earphones into the opposite strap that has a little loop. The bulk of the backpack is separated into 3 compartments, and the "outside" 2 compartments have individually sewn compartments located within, to help keep things organized. The back and shoulder straps are nicely padded. I found the hook attachment perfect for strapping on my sunhat, but of course it can be used for other things.We were able to fit into this backpack:- 2 rain ponchos- 2 one Liter water bottles- 2 jackets of medium thickness (size M and XS)- 2 sweaters- 2 Bear-Naked sized bags of trail mix- 6 Protein Bars- 2 phones, 2 sets of keys, 2 wallets, 2 sunglasses and their cases, 2 earphones- Magnesium Fire Starter and 2 Mylar blankets (just in case)In short, this is a terrific backpack for couples doing day hikes, and walking around in the town at night while still trying to maintain a sense of fashion sensibilities. Thanks to the padded backside and straps, and the design of the strap juncture and width, it was still comfortable to wear this backpack during the hikes (as comfortable as lugging around a backpack can be).Plus, at the price, it offers incredible value. There are few other products I can think of at this price point, that offers this much in terms of durability, functionality, multipurpose use, convenience, and looks all into one. One of the best purchases of the year!

Love how much this backpack can hold. Had a lot of pockets, super comfortable and was not expensive.

Great bag . Looks good after a full year of school

I bought this backpack for our trip to disney world. I looked at several backpacks and read several reviews before making my final decision on one. I wanted one with several pockets and lots of room. Also wanted one that would be comfortable as I would be having it on my back for several hours each day. I must say I was highly impressed with this one. The shoulder straps have a cushion on them that make it very comfortable on your shoulders so you don't feel the pressure of wearing a backpack. It was easy to adjust to my back and was very comfortable. Honestly I didn't feel like I was wearing it for several hours per day. It has several pockets and compartments in it so that you are able to keep everything organized. I love this backpack. I still use it today. I use it to go to the pool, hicking, or simply to the zoo. It is convenient for anywhere you are taking the kids and just have a lot of things you need to take. It is well made. I have had it for over a year now and has held up just fine. I would recommend this product to anyone. I am going to be buying this brand of backpack for my girls for school this year. As their backpacks didn't last the whole school year. Which I am still made about. Which I would have just bought the High Sierra one instead. I spent more money buying 2 them I would have just buying the nicer one:(. O well lesson learned. Hope this review has helped. Thanks so much for reading my review.

Considering the price, it's a great bag. A few things I have notices that I love. The "tablet pocket" is large enough to fit a 14" computer. I have a Sony. There is not padding because it is not meant to have a computer in it, I have bought a cheap, thin sleeve for my computer and it still works well. I like the zippers, they are easy to close and I have packed mine pretty full and it hasn't given yet! The pink is a very pretty lighter hot pink almost. The pockets are deep, as in they are more open towards the bottom, but the way the smaller sipper pockets are designed there is not the same room at the top as there is at the bottom.For me it is just a little too small another inch or so would be great but still a great bag. I can fit 2-1.5 inch binders (or a 1.5 inch binder and a 2inch book), a planner (.5 inch), my wallet, flip flops. those items settle into the bag towards the bottom leaving the top with a good amount of room. I can then put clothes or lunch on top of that and still close it. That all is for the largest zipper pocket. The second largest I managed to fit a pair of shorts, and a very thin zip up hoodie in my bag. This is also considered the "tablet pocket" so it would be clothes or laptop, most likely not both. OR Lunch or Laptop or Clothes. 2 out of the 3 will fit!All in all it had been comfortable, love the straps, and holds just about everything I need it too. I have a lab class and we have to wear tennis shoes. Well, someone wrote a review about how they hook their tennis shoes onto the hook on the front of the back. At first, it seems a little silly, but it totally works! and saves space for other things. Especially if you NEED to pack clothes to change into after lab class in the heat of summer. No one likes wearing jeans and a long sleeve shirt and tennis shoes in 90 degree weather.I would have given this bag 5 stars if it had 1 inch more of depth room in the main pocket. That's all I need for it to be a perfect bag.I had bought a $140 eagle creek universal traveler bag. Did not like it. Not comfortable, doesn't fit what it should, and is smaller than this bag, even with a designated laptop sleeve. If you have a 14" laptop, tablet, or don't need to carry one this is a better choice.

Nice backpack
