Eastsport Unisex Commuter Tech Backpack, Black

I had a previous Eastsport backpack for more than 15 years, traveled all over the US and Australia. It started falling apart so I tried to find the exact same model, couldn't find it. This was the closest.

BEST ALL-AROUND FOR THE MONEY ("UTILITY" AND ROOM ENOUGH TO HOLD 12-PACK CAN DRINKS AND MORE TO SPARE)!!

made well, my chromebook fits well in the built in internal pocket. straps are comfortable. Decent price nice bag for the money. I recconded this to people I personally know.

I bought this bag as a carryon for a recent flight. It was perfect for carrying a change of clothes, a paperback book, etc. It was comfortable to wear and water bottle fit perfectly in the pocket. The straps were securely attached. I doubt if it would be sturdy enough for heavy textbooks (do students even carry books anymore?), but it was ideal for my purposes. I would recommend this backpack for travel or everyday use.

This is my second order of this particular backpack for my 8year old. Out of all over the years this is her favorite she had the teal. This time i got the charcoal color because the teal wasn't available! The reason i ordered another one is, over time the water bottle storage area started to rip. She brings bottles of all sizes every day to school so idk if it's not sturdy or the bottles may have torn it or been too heavy. Other than that no other issues.

I bought this backpack thinking it was a decent size, instead once I got it, I realized it might fit more for elementary school age, but not for my Middle school age daughter. It seemed quite small to me, and there was no way her school supplies would have fit inside.. (I'm not sure they would have fit, even when she was in her late years of elementary school.. It might possibly work for someone to just carry a laptop and a few folders, but I dont think it would be able to fit even 1- 3 ring binder and a couple of books. I really like Eastpak as a brand, I was just not really happy with the size of this bag

At first glance the design, size, and style of this backpack is great. Multiple compartments that are accommodating to hold several things, nice style that it's modern yet functional. But as you utilize the bag for its purpose there is some aspects that are poorly executed. It is flimsy, too lightweight, and not made sturdy. When I put just a couple articles of clothing in it and pulled it up to my shoulders I would hear a sharp click and see that the seams seem to hold much tension and it's only a matter of time until it tears apart. And this was just from a couple of shirts and a short. The zippers are not as quality made as other backpacks I have. The zippers would sometimes be very difficult to zip up. Sometimes it would get stuck and pulling at it to fix it feels likes it's going to entirely rip. If you like structured utility backs packs or backpacks that can take on weight while maintaining its integrity in shape, this bag may not be for you. The price point is what initially caught my interest. But in person, you will realize you get what you pay for.

was really smaller than i expected , going to have to buy another one bigger, bought my kids backpacks and thisthe size for a like 3-5 th graer woulduse , my son in 7th and its too small . going to keep its good quality and good price but just too small .

It's a lot smaller than expected. Even with the measurements on the website somehow it wasn't accurate. I compared it to a previous backpack I bought at Staples which I thought would be smaller in comparison to the East sport bag, but I was proven wrong. It isn't wide or long. There's next to no padding, even within the laptop pouch, it just feels like a cheap piece of mesh. This feels like something for kids, that's very light in weight and material and just needed to carry around regular books or school supplies. Not for the heavy loads that university students carry.

Zipper broke off the first week of school. Didn't even last 3 days. But it fits for kids in elementary. It's not that large for kids in intermediate or jr high.
