We bought 2 of these for our college age children for Christmas. The main reason that we chose this particular pack was for it's size. Also for Bean's great guarantee. We wanted something that we could return if it did not hold up. (that has been an issue with previous packs) So far so good, however there is no holder for water bottles. That is the only reason that I gave this item 4 stars. I would recommend that Bean re-vamp this pack to put a water bottle holder. Our kids do not use reusable water bottles anymore since they tend to get left places if there is no room to put them in a pocket. We are going to get them those holders on carabiners and see if that helps. Overall though large pack. You can cram a lot into it. Maybe too much stuff actually.
I bought this pack for my 10th grade son. His other backpack (from another company) lasted 9years and finally started to fall apart. I wanted to get another high quality pack that would fit his needs for highschool, sports and moving into college. We both love the pack. It has so much room, many pockets, space for his running clothes, and is well-made.
Big, a place for everything I carry, well organized - love that there's a separate compartment for shoes! Sneakers or business shoes - doesn't matter! Very comfortable on the back - even stuffed. Love this backpack!
