I love this backpack. It is very well-made, tough, and durable. It holds a lot, though I always need more space. Believe me though, it holds enough. There is not a lot of padding for the laptop compartment. It does fit my 15 inch laptop just fine though. Some people have commented about the zipper guards. Yes, they are kind of annoying, but they are there for a purpose! The zippers work fine. I lug around heavy textbooks all day, every day and the bag is holding up fine...no hint of a strap fraying or interior cloth ripping. You can't abuse the bag all the time and expect it to never fall apart, but I feel it would be pretty difficult to damage at least the exterior of this bag. The inner lining I could see getting torn if you are carelessly shoving lots of heavy, jagged items inside. I like the side compartments and the separate zipper compartments are good for keeping items separated and organized. I don't know too much about how water proof this is as I have not "tested" that or been caught in a downpour with the bag. I feel the main purpose for this particular bag is for a student, but it could be used for travel (like any bag could be). It has room for a change of clothes, a pair of shoes, your laptop, some toiletries and a few other personal items. This is a solid, durable, spacious, attractive backpack with a great price point. I would recommend to any student for sure. There are probably better options for hikers and travelers, but you could certainly "get by" with this one for those purposes too.***Update: I have been using this backpack every day now for two years (both for college and personal use). It has seen heavy use and is still in great condition. All zippers still work well and there is no freeing or tearing on the inside nor outside. I would highly recommend this backpack. It is of great quality and very durable.

Buying this backpack was the smartest college purchase I've ever made. As a commuter, I will spend 8 to 12 hours a day on campus, and I need to carry around 3-4 classes worth of books, my uniform and gear for work, my laptop and/or tablet and food for the day. I can fit all of that and more in this fantastic backpack.First, there is a huge pocket at the very back with space for a couple binders and 4 or 5 fat textbooks. There's also a well padded slot for a laptop and a smaller one for a tablet.This has a zipper so you can quickly get out your laptop or tablet.Next, there's a smaller pocket which I use for smaller textbooks and anything else I need to throw in there. Then there's another pocket in front of that! I like to stick my lunch in there because that way it's separate from my books in case anything spills. The smallest pocket is in the very front, and it has space for writing utensils and school supplies, a little slot for smaller odds and ends and a key chain hook.Each side has a cup holder, so I can carry both my water bottle and travel mug. There's also a slot on the left strap which is really handy for keeping my phone accessible. My favorite thing about this backpack is the little pocket at the top between the two large pockets. It's maybe 6 inches deep and I stick pens, headphones, chapstick, gum, my I.D. and other things I use often in there so I can get them quickly.This backpack has made my life so much easier. It's sturdy, good quality, comfortable, well padded, the zippers work well and looks great. I can always find everything so easily. If you want a fantastic quality backpack with plenty of space but that you can keep organized, I would definitely recommend this one. I don't have any complaints!
