## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Great craftsmanship and highly durable bag.
-   Can convert from backpack to roller easily. The shoulder straps can be tucked away.
-   Can hold a lot of things. Can be used by elementary to law school students.
-   Great price for its features.

### Things to consider

-   The zippers might need breaking in as they are stiff to use at first.
-   The laptop sleeve is a bit loose.

## What reviewers said

-   "This bag comfortably houses all his medications, his asthma nebulizer, extra clothes, and special cups and hygiene products. There is lots of room left over. I can honestly say that we have crammed all his other bags completely full and had a hard time zipping them in the past. I can tell this bag is going to last a long time and I am super happy with this purchase."
-   "When I tell you this bag is PERFECT... that is an understatement. I am a paralegal student full time and carrying 14-18 credit hours, lots of legal books, and my surface pro 3. It all fits... EVERYTHING."
