This pack is really good. Nice medium size fits lots of stuff but not too big. Lots of extra pockets for max organization. The only issue is that the side pockets are not elastic enough to hold water bottles in place. They stay in walking around but will fall out if you ollie, lean forward, anything like that. Need to figure something out on the next iteration. Switch to mesh and lose the little side pockets. Or just make it more elastic and flexible to it will hold bottles in tighter.

After doing a couple hours worth or research, I settled on this backpack to use for college. Don’t be fooled, this backpack can be utilized for much more than skating. Here are my initial thought when I first received the backpack. FYI: I purchased the Thunderstorm Black edition. The material is made from a high-quality polyester, and the stitching is almost flawless. The bag features two big compartments, one smaller compartment, and some side pockets. The two big compartments can easily fit any Apple laptop. The laptop compartment also features some padding, which gives some protection for your expensive laptop. The one smaller compartment is meant to hold more compact items like a phone, charger, power bank, and etc.. The side pockets are of course meant for something like a water bottle. It is important to note that the side pockets also have zipper compartments built into them. I never seemed to notice this when I viewed the pictures. Overall, I believe this backpack will at least help last me through all four years of college. My only complaint is that the price is a little bit steep. A bag like this should probably be in the $70-$80 range. Other than that, I recommend this backpack for all students alike. Thank you taking time to read my review. I hope it helps you decide whether or not this bag is good for your needs. *I plan on adding a new review in a couple months to update my thoughts on the bag.

I have had this bag for almost 2 months now and I use it for college. I can fit most of what I need throughout the day without going back and forth to my dorm to my stuff for the next class, it all fits! I carry my board on the skateboard straps to classes and never have a problem carrying it inside buildings on campus and haven't gotten any citation or warnings which is pretty cool. Perfect bag for commuting throughout the day. The shoulder straps are pretty comfortable. Definitely my favorite backpack of all time!!!!
