This backpack is exactly what we were looking for. We purchased this backpack for an upcoming lengthy trip abroad. Highlights are the strength and quality of the material (very very nice quality, not at all cheap), many subtle color choices (perfect for a family with several members to keep their items separated), storage capacity and variance (many well-placed pockets, elastic bands and pockets on the outside are perfectly placed and variably sized), extremely adjustable to accommodate many different sized and shaped people (great as a family staple item), pleasing weight (the backpack is sturdy but also lightweight and when packed full, weight is distributed perfectly with the strap system). Overall, best purchase we have made in a long time. In summary, I loved the storage capacity, the weight, the material and construction, the aesthetics, and the adjustability of this backpack. Will definitely recommend and may buy more in different colors! Buy it. You won’t be disappointed!
