Awesome Bag

I love the back pack! It's comfortable and I was able to organize all my electronics and other needs easily. It's made exceptionally well. Read a review previously questioning the material which made me hesitant on purchasing.....ignore that review. It's awesome. I'm just sorry I didn't have it monogrammed. LOL

Very Functional Lightweight Bag.

I received this backpack yesterday so have not had a chance to use it yet. My initial impressions are as follows: What I Like: - The bag is fairly lightweight and has multiple pockets including the external adjustable water bottle pockets. - The two mesh pockets, although they are a bit too deep to easily retrieve my iPhone 13Pro so I will likely use a different pocket. - The interior of the bag has lots of room. Slight modifications that would improve the bag: - Change the double zippers on the main compartment so they overlap to accommodate a small travel lock. This would be particularly useful from a security perspective for those who put the bag in an overhead compartment on a plane, train, bus, etc. - Change the style of adjustable strap so there are no long pieces dangling off the bottom (for those who need to cinch up the straps). - Increase the size/depth of the 'hidden' back exterior pocket so it can accommodate a cell phone vertically. A miss: For this price point, I would have expected that a dust bag would be included but it was not.

Great Backpack!

I bought this backpack to replace my Dagne Dover I just had recently purchased as Teacher/Masters student. I had bought an Away backpack in 2023 and loved it but thought Dagne Dover would work better. Horrific mistake, it hardly held what I needed and was weighed down on my back. I decided to buy this Commuter Backpack as I love the olive color. Such a nice backpack and feels good on my back.

Finally A Good Backpack For A Little Older Woman.

So many compartments. Everything will be organized not just stuffed in. Great color. And the two side water bottle pockets each have a zipper so any size container can be used! Love the color.

Will Own Forever

Great space. Sturdy straps. Love the side pockets that zip to create more or less space.

Quality Is Shockingly Poor

The material used for this backpack is similar to 90s school backpacks. The material is nothing like the picture seems, and is similar to a seatbelt strap. Very dissapointing based on the price point

Great Bag!

Great bag! Lightweight, clean look, well made. I was a little worried about blue for a bag I use everyday, but it’s close enough to a slate that it works. I love the amount of pockets to keep things organized. However, I do think there could be one improvement: some shallower pockets for things like a wallet, lip balm, hand sanitizer, mints… you get the idea. Many of the interior pockets are too deep and narrow for easy retrieval of these items. But, overall, a great bag!

The Perfect Back Pack

pockets and zippers everyplace you would want and need them. The straps fit perfectly! no more slipping off the shoulders running around NYC. I had a few things on my check list for the new back pack and this commuter ticked everything on the list....couldn't be happier

Great Backpack Worth The Money

I bought this backpack after reading my reviews and it lives up to all the good reviews. Love all the pockets and easy access to my things.

Better Business Travel

Great size great fit. Lots of compartments. Perfect for business travel

Understated Look With Plenty Of Function

It has convenient pockets which, most of which are secured with zippers. The main part of the bag has enough volume to hold all that I need when using it as my carry on bag for long flights

My Favorite Backpack

I love this backpack the style is clean and professional, the quality and durability are excellent, and Away offers a great selection of colors. It has quickly become a go to work bag and is perfect for Travel… It fits everything I need and slides nicely onto my luggage… Highly recommend.

Amazing!

This backpack is the best travel bag! It’s durable, spacious with a lot of pockets to store items. Very happy with this purchase and I would recommend this bag for anyone that travels. No regrets!

Excellent Quality

I absolutely love this backpack! The size is perfect, the quality is exceptional, and the color is exactly what I was hoping for. It feels well-made and has quickly become my go-to bag. My only suggestion for improvement would be the zipper design. The pockets are nice and deep, but the zipper openings are a bit short, making it difficult to reach items at the bottom. Slightly longer zippers would make accessing the pockets much easier without changing the overall design. Overall, it’s an excellent backpack, and I would definitely recommend it.

The Bag Everyone Should Have

I shopped with a dear friend who told me he purchased this bag over a decade ago himself. He said there is no sturdier bag out there and at initial touch, I believe him! This bag is perfect for every day use and one day getaways. I love it already.
