Well designed and beautiful / strong too!

I know there are a lot of cheap backpacks out there. but if you can bang for this purchase, i love it! This is the best backpack I've ever had. and I'm an old guy! I would buy it again and will probably buy it as a gift for someone.

Pros
  • Pretty package
Cons
  • Secret

Very dusty backpack

The backpack arrived today and was covered in dust except for the dark black front. There was still a shade of brown everywhere, the dust is visible and gets on your fingers when you touch it. I am debating whether to bother to return this item or just clean and use it. It sucks to buy something new and it's so dirty.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Exterior

Excellent backpack. Works very well as a travel bag.

Great backpack. Works very well as a holdall BUT the shoulder straps leave a lot to be desired. These are the most uncomfortable straps (and almost painful) of any other brand (especially Hershel). They are very narrow and don't have much cushioning. This makes it difficult to use the bag for a long period of time.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Updates available

This is a well made and very beautiful backpack. Honestly, for the price, I wouldn't settle for anything less! It works great with lots of pockets and dividers and is also customizable to my needs. To be honest it can hold a lot more than I expected and I would recommend it if you want the most expensive backpack you can find haha!

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • Operating Speed

This bag has many good features, but for the price I would have liked a more balanced design. It's built to hold a ton of stuff, although it's mostly flat stuff. The first problem I encountered was the straps. They are not made for comfort with the weight of this bag. For a laptop, some files, and clothes and toiletries for a night, this is a good bag. It literally folds (in half) for easy packing. But you can't take more than a few inches, deceiving the promotional photos. The other major…

The coolest luggage!

I travel frequently to the US and abroad (AA Platinum Pro). I bought this bag five years ago and after my first trip with it, it became my only carry-on. but all were unacceptable as hand luggage for various reasons. A friend recommended the Blade 28 to me and when I got it I was a bit disappointed. Looked like a normal school backpack. But I was wrong! The thing is built explosion-proof and the internal organization is optimal for me. It just makes sense. I can keep my electronics separate…

Commuter bag is not

This bag is incorrectly labeled as a commuter bag. This isn't the bag you want if it's mainly going to and from the office, or as a laptop bag if you're traveling with a skateboard. If you're traveling light and only have a laptop, this might work for you. Briefcase style bag with backpack straps. - This is a two fold/section bag as shown in the photos. The first section isn't very deep, but it's designed for your laptop and documents. This section has a "bottle cage" that is too flimsy to fit…
