Too small for school
My tween daughter bought this with her own money but unfortunately, it is super small, much smaller than her Jansport. It's a struggle to fit her lunch box inside. Shes determined to make it work... we'll see how it goes on Tuesday when she's back to school.

Excellent gift
this was a birthday present, and my daughter loves it. The way the pockets are designed are perfectly easy and can accommodate different size items and it feels really good on her back.

My kid likes it.
We ordered it twice. The service is good, and I got refunded fast the first time. And then we received our order on the 3rd day after placing the 2nd order.

Best Multipurpose Bag
This Product is amazing! I use it mainly for hiking, and it fits everything I need for day hikes. I also sometimes use it for school, and it fits all my materials, which, as a biology student, is very helpful. It's a good, solid bag and I'm not worried about it breaking down on me, which is very important to me as I am someone who is on the go a lot.

I would buy again
I've been using the Women's Borealis Backpack for school and it has been great so far. One of the biggest advantages for me is that it easily fits my 16-inch gaming laptop, which is usually pretty bulky and heavy. What surprised me the most is how comfortable it feels when carrying a heavy laptop. Compared with a regular backpack, the weight feels much better distributed, so it doesn't feel as heavy on my shoulders when walking around campus. The backpack also has plenty of space for notebooks, chargers, and other daily essentials, making it very practical for school.
