Review on 🎒 Columbia Unisex Mazama Backpack: A Versatile Collegiate Daypack with Casual Style by Travis Caminiti

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not worthy of the Columbia brand

I was surprised at how cheaply made this backpack was as as a Columbia I expected a lot more. It's very light and resembles cheap Chinese backpacks that you can buy for under $10. It's made of very thin fabric, it's not really thought through, it's as simple in design as it can get. Two inside pockets and a small outside pocket. No overlaps anywhere except a small divider on one side into two compartments. The rest is unlined thin nylon material. It's also the most uncomfortable backpack I've ever had. I'm 5ft 9in, 165lbs and had to adjust the straps as snugly as possible to keep them on my very broad shoulders or they would slide off. Trouble is, when it's adjusted as tight as possible, the tight and horribly rough straps rub on both sides of your neck! There are no straps on the front to hold it in place, so it slips off. The shape doesn't look like the picture, it's more of a teardrop shape than the square shape pictured, so it's already on top. I would have included photos but for some reason that option wasn't available for that particular item. I really didn't like anything about this backpack and for 50.00 you can find much better. Sorry Columbia I'm a big fan but this one failed, it's not Columbia quality.
