Good

I like the material, spaciousness of the two sections. It is the laptop section I am concerned about; It is tiny and makes an iPad with cover difficult to fit.

So Comfortable

It is so comfortable to wear even when you are carrying lots of things. I wore it almost everyday for 2 yrs, and only now has one zipper started to wear/brake. Love it (I’m buying another one)

Back Saver

My daughter's old backpack was so heavy from textbooks and laptop. This backpack is amazing at distributing the weight making it so much better for her back

Top Heavy

Overall solid bookbag. The way the different compartments separate can make it top heavy and empty on the bottom.

Worst Pack I've Owned

I bought this pack to replace an older Borealis. It is terrible, I didn't realize it was possible to hate a backpack. The water bottle holders are useless, they barely fit a phone. I've had it for two months and the front bungee broke the first time I used it. The capacity is much smaller than advertised. I have to carry half my stuff in a tote bag. I'm very disappointed in this pack.

Daughter Loves This Backpack

Bought for my daughter to return to school. Likes size and quality. Plans to use for several years.

Doesn’t Fit Text Books Or Lunch Box.

I bought this for my daughter‘s freshman year in high school. The backpack is very nice looking. It seems well made. However, the main pouch was only able to fit one 2 inch binder, along with one textbook and one small pencil case. None of her other textbook would fit, and there was no room for a lunch if she decided to bring one. It did hold her laptop nicely, but she has other things to carry besides a laptop. A lot of schools are starting to realize that all the laptop work and excessive screen time aren’t the best and are transitioning back to textbooks. I am not sure why these backpacks are marketed for back to school, when they do not have enough room to hold books and lunch.
