Review on Under Armour Horizon Scrimmage Backpack by Sandra Goode

Revainrating 5 out of 5

See UPDATE: Review two years later: Great quality, great look. Consider this locker tip if it's for an older child:

At the start of this 2016 school year, we purchased three Under Armor backpacks, one for each of our three boys. After three months of school, I'm happy to say that all three are doing surprisingly well. It's been a transition year for us because our two youngest boys have switched from kids backpacks (think Ninja Turtles) to these and the quality of these Under Armor bags is much better; with the leagues the price is correspondingly higher, but at least in this case you get what you pay for. The condition of the polyester fabric and its colors are well preserved, despite not very delicate handling and atmospheric agents. Plus, the adjustable shoulder straps sit comfortably and the stitching seems to hold up when books are held and tossed around. Overall, despite their high price, these backpacks are worth the money as they are durable and good looking. and children love them. I assume these bags will last a long time. TIPS: The darker the color, the less dirt; We have one in this neon green and it looks dirtier than our reds and blues. If you are considering buying this and you are in high school or older, or it is for your middle school age child or older, see if the school requires shoulder strap backpacks instead of shoulder strap backpacks. Drawstring backpacks are required (and in fact banned) in our high school because drawstrings are better for lockers and unfortunately schools view less bulky drawstrings as safer and more secure. less likely to hide the bad. UA sells a similar version with laces, and our student uses them. UPDATE 9/2018. After two full years of school, two out of three of my boys are still using these backpacks. All three are doing great; although we replaced the neon green because while still doing its duty in the backpack it looked very dirty.

Pros
  • Casual Backpacks
Cons
  • Not Bad
