I bought this backpack about six months ago to take to the gym because I carry too much stuff for the average shoulder bag. It is a great rolling backpack. I even used it for a 4 night overnight trip. I am thinking of getting the same rolling bags for my 3 kids to use on trips, so they can be in charge of their own bags. It is very sturdy and rolls well. It has a nice sized handle even for a 5'7" tall adult.
I love there assistance and overall i love my bag. I bought this not longer than 1 month ago, and my zipper broke i called them and they sent me a form for the new one, helped me fill out the form. I now <3 my backpack and wish that i could get the color that i wanted!!!!! but is okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you everyone
This is a very sturdy, well made bag. I bought it with the idea of having my daughter use it for ice skating (skates and helmet), But rather than having one large section, there are two separate zippered sections and I was unable to fit her helmet and skates in the bag.
Overall great backpack. back straps are hard to get out and in, can only be used for rolling. great for my son who comes home with 3-5 400 page books a day. easy to use, great design. i always love ll bean, this makes my rating from about 7 out of 10 to an 8 1/2 out of ten
