Never Stop Utility Pack

I bought this for college, I'm in a nursing program and carry a lot with me. This backpack is HUGE, has so much extra space, the shoe compartment on the bottom is a plus too. I can't wait to use it for clinicals at the hospital. A nursing student on tiktok had reviewed it showing all the space and compartments and I knew I had to purchase it.

This was my first backpack purchase in over 20 years as I am a Gen-X'er who has used totes or crossbodies for all bag purposes other than hiking. Last year I noticed my hiking backpack didn't trigger the same pain from a neck injury than other types of bags did and decided to try a backpack as my travel personal item. I was drawn to this particular bag carried by a woman sitting next to me on a flight because it wasn't bulky despite being full, fit under the seat, included a luggage sleeve, and had dual handles which made it look more like a tote than a backpack. She had it in the beautiful green color but I selected the Latte as it was a better match with my existing luggage. This bag has literally changed my life, as it if far easier to carry and fits more than my Kate Spade Weekender ever did, including a laptop and accessories, a book, purse items, TWO stacked Lug Trolley toiletry cases, two bottles, and a coat in the separate zippered bottom compartment. Now that I am 100% a backpack person I've purchased two more in this similar dual-handle non-bulky style for work and overnight trips that don't require a laptop, but after 6 months this is still my hands-down favorite. My only complaint is the waterproof fabric does scuff easily, but if it should get too rough I would definitely replace it with the same one.

I really like this backpack! It's super convenient for traveling and works great as a personal item for flights in the U.S. or abroad. There's tons of space for my laptop, tablet, wallet, keys, and headphones. I also love that there's extra room at the bottom for things like an extra pair of shoes or wet items like swimwear - it's one of those features you don't realize you need until you have it. The side pockets are a big plus too; they easily hold two large water bottles. The only things I wasn't thrilled about were the color and material. I ordered the sage green shade expecting the color shown online, but in person, it looks more silver than green. The material also feels thinner compared to my old TNF Surge backpack, which held up for years through high school and college, and is now my work bag. This bag still gets the job done, but I worry it might not handle rain as well. Overall, it's a great backpack with smart storage and a sleek look - just wish the color and material were a little more like the classic TNF quality I'm used to.
