Review on 🌿 Botanical 7790: The Versatile Lug Convertible Backpack for Fashion-Forward Women by Travion Matias

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good idea/concept but needs improvement

I was very excited to get this bag but was ultimately disappointed. What's inside isn't black to make it easier to find things (but I liked the pattern in what I got) so it can be clipped to luggage, neat organization, it fits my 14- inch laptop. Cons: Bags need more thought out. The inner compartment for the laptop is on the outside of the bag. Common sense dictates that heavier items should be placed as close to the body as possible for easier and more comfortable carrying. They have a cooler branch on the outside that goes against your body. Why? Your body heat will warm whatever you're trying to keep cool! The backpack straps were very uncomfortable. Inside the Canter bag were some silicone/sticky materials that help hold the straps in place. A chest strap would be nice for added comfort. Anyway the straps really took a toll on my shoulder muscles and this is a man who has traveled the world with a backpack and ridden 20k with 35-40lbs on my back! Another downside, when worn over the shoulder, the straps are crooked so the strap goes over the zippered opening and it's difficult to unzip the bag to get to the inside. Maybe it's a pro against pickpockets, but it makes it hard for you to get things out of your pocket. a laptop and two water bottles - I also usually had things to keep my little one entertained and the extra water bottle had to imitate a milk bottle) and it just wasn't practical so I returned it. I think I will keep Sherpani Soleil. It's not perfect either - the backpack straps are too wide and need a sternum strap, and I like the Lug front and back pockets better, but I like the Soleil inner pockets better and it's more comfortable both in a backpack and over the shoulder. . Also, both bags are heavy, but Lug is heavier than Sherpani and Sherpani also has RFID and anti-theft protection on all zippered pockets.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Security
