My son wanted this bag for school. Upon opening it, and still months later, it has a hint of a garbage smell. (It’s weird) this bag has been great. He’s 11. He’s spilled soda in it, lunch box explosions, etc. it’s been easy to clean. It might be the first backpack we make it through the whole school year with.Wow! I bought this for my son who is 5. It’s huge and it has so many pockets. He will love it!!The zippers are somewhat flimsy plastic, and the padding in the shoulder straps really isn’t too substantial. For $70 I would expect higher quality materials. But I bought it for my son’s 7th birthday to carry his first grade homework. So it’ll do the job. And he was over the moon with it. A dad who attended the party immediately looked it up on Amazon for himself. It really is very cool looking. The way the top opens is really creative, so many little pockets to stash things in. During shipping the backpack was folded in half which wasn’t great for the shape so I wish they hadn’t done that. If the padding in the back and straps was thicker and denser it wouldn’t have been a problem.First off, this backpack looks amazing. Secondly, it doesn't last very long at all. My 10 yr old son was thrilled with his new backpack, but he's a little disappointed it didn't even last 2 months into the school year. The main issues are the zippers. The main storage area's zippers both do not function properly and he either leaves his backpack open all the time or needs help trying to realign the zipper. Also, on some of the side pockets, the straps already broke or the zippers have come off the tracks. Again, amazing looking backpack, just would expect higher quality for the cost.Both zippers on this backpack broke less than a month into the school year. A huge waste of moneyVery comfortable....and tons of storage pockets. Almost too much, actually. Advise to make a map of where you put things because you may never find it again ...LOL!The side of the bag is great for Daily useVery impressive. This back pack has all sorts of compartments and will accommodate a large quantity of items. My son can't wait to take it to school in August and has already packed it with school supplies.
