Review on πŸŽ’ Kattee Men's Canvas Leather Backpack: Ideal for Hiking, Travel and School by James White

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Roomy, smelly, sagging and decently built

I wanted a backpack for work that wasn't as overtly 'student' as my trusty dusty Swiss backpack. I looked through a number of options and finally settled on this one. First things first, when this backpack arrived it stunk. I left it without the plastic bag, it lasted a week and the smell didn't dissipate before I checked and washed (do not tumble dry) it. It never recovered from that wash, which caused the straps to fray a bit. However, I take it to work every day. Thankfully it has plenty of room, but when you actually wear it it tends to sag. In fact, it doesn't hold its shape any better than an old t-shirt. The build quality actually seems solid enough. I've been using it daily for months and it hasn't shown any major signs of breakage. My only other major complaint is the lack of padding. This backpack does nothing to protect its contents. If you have a laptop in this backpack and you drop it on the floor, there's little better than just dropping the laptop on the floor. Overall it's as good as you would expect for the price. Nothing amazing or life changing, but it gets the job done
