My son, a junior in high school, gives this backpack 5 stars. He is taking a full load of classes and it holds all his school stuff and more. The separate compartment for athletic gear is very useful and roomy. This is definitely a great value! We have been through many backpacks and this is the best by far!
I spent alot of time to find the perfect bag to fit my lifestyle. This is the one. The bag is rugged. Whether on the trail or on my way to school, this bag can handle the load. The bag is spacious. It fits my school books and my laptop with room for the mp3 player. On the trail it holds all my gear for a day hike.
My son picked this backpack for his first year of high school. They don't have time to use lockers any more so carry all of their stuff all day, class to class. He goes from school to soccer and so far it's been holding up great! Lots of room and very durable, so far.
