## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Made with eco-friendly materials which are also sturdy at the same time.
-   Features superb functional organization throughout the bag.
-   The external webbing straps can be used to attach outdoor gears or tools such as skateboard and other things.

### Things to consider

-   Additional pockets would be appreciated.
-   Despite having 28L capacity, the things you can put in it are limited as it is full of internal organizational sleeves and pockets.

## What reviewers said

-   "Bought this bag recently and I’ve used it every day since. Plenty of space for my laptop, notebooks, clothes for work or gym, etc. Pockets to organise belongings are very handy. And two zip pockets on the side for a water bottle or things you need access to on the go. Super comfortable bag as well, even with a heavy load. Love it!"
-   "I bought this for work on advice from a chiropractor as my other work bag was bad for my back. This bag is practical and super comfy. Highly recommended."
-   "I bought this bag when my son started year 7, and he is now in year 10. The bag is strong and holds all his books/laptop etc. I machine wash it every school holiday. Excellent quality and would highly recommend it as a school bag."
