I'm obsessed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this backpack so much! I bring it to school everyday and it's extremely spacious! I can fit all my school supplies with much room left over. It's useful and aesthetic to wear! Overall, I would definitely buy again!

Good find

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great backpack for a college student. Everything has a pocket and it doesn't feel heavy with a lot in it. Water bottle pockets even hold larger water bottles

Great bag for teens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great size for my teenage daughter. No complaints about the design. It holds her water bottle, which is a must for teens.

Save your money

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this backpack because my last North Face backpack lasted me a WHILE (I upgraded cause the bottle holder pockets had a hole in it. I bought this backpack, and I regret it. The side pickets don't hold anything. My 32 fl oz watter bottle always slips out. The back pack started ripping from one of the zippers. I pulled the cord on the bottle holder pocket to tighten it so the bottle won't fall out, the cord snapped and peeled. Also for some context, I had this bag only for 3 months. My last one that lasted way longer, I had for 4 years. Do yourself a favor, save your money and find a better quality backpack. NOT. WORTH. IT.

Disappointing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this product for college and everyday life. While inside portions do the job, I am disappointed with the bottle holders that don't work and straps that broke after minimal usage.
