In their words
“I teach full time and use a backpack as my work bag. I've been needing a nice new backpack that can safely and comfortably transport my laptop work papers and other necessities to and from my house daily. This backpack is spacious with compartments for pens pencils markers headphones my folders and papers and nice spacious areas for my full size laptop.”

“I purchased this bag on July 20 2023 and within a couple of months it started falling apart. I carry quite a bit including my computer and the fabric began unraveling on the straps first. Over time the rest of the material weakened and started fraying. I specifically chose this bag because of its lifetime warranty but when I filed a claim for a replacement I was denied and completely ignored.”
