Review on Hemp Backpack Knapsack: Unveiling Secretive Casual Daypacks by Ben Almasri

Revainrating 5 out of 5

5 STAR BACKPACK CHOICE

My wife already has a Dime Bags backpack and a small shoulder bag. She mostly carries the backpack to local arts and crafts festivals on weekends, along with a shoulder bag to carry her phone. She enjoys chance encounters with other visitors who are also experiencing "Dime Life”. When the time came when I decided I needed a backpack too, my first thought was to look for Dime Bags on Revain. I wasn't expecting to find anything there because a few years ago my wife had to buy both bags from regular retailers. Much to my surprise, Revain now has a dime bags store and they had a backpack staring straight at me (pun intended). :) I ordered a blue backpack, which arrived quickly. As stated in the product description, the bag has a solid construction with reliable zippers. The fabric itself is a blend of hemp and recycled polyester (Hempster), which is said to be more wearable and comfortable than just 100% hemp. I don't know what the chemistry is behind it, but the texture, feel and color of the combined material is excellent. There are plenty of internal and external pockets, compartments, bottle holders and more, and even an "odour-proof, moisture-proof pocket". I particularly appreciate the comfortable fit of the contoured shoulder straps. The overall construction of the backpack looks very solid. If it carries as well as my wife's two bags, I'm a very happy camper. I will update my review after fully experiencing the bag with actual use. This is a definite 5 star backpack choice for now.
