I just bought this back pack again after having my first one for 6 years! Good quality, simple back pack. I did notice the zipper quality has gone down since my first one, but the price is still good.For those read reviews take this review as a complimentary review for your purchase as I lack a vast knowledge on adequate backpacks for day-to-day use. I did a google search which yielded a variety of "cheap" good backpacks off reddit. I wanted a backpack that could hold me down for a year or 2 while I went back to college and after some research this one was the one I concluded to purchase. My criteria were: padding, space, durability, and compartments. I feel this backpack fulfills the criteria well enough. Tomorrow I will put it to use and will know how well the padding is, but for the price I am very content. The zippers looks like they are the really good sturdy kind that will last years. I don't know yet about the sewing and how well it will stand weight but I will find out in a couple months. As far as slots, space, and compartments goes.. for $30? You cannot go wrong with this bag! What I love is that it still comes in the manufacture sealed bag so it's smells like a brand new car, it comes with a nice shopping bag and the quality of it from my eyes looks freaking amazing. I did not get the model with the brown bottom part of the bag because while it looks and feels good.. I think those thing pick up moisture and eventually smell like a wet mop.If you are a student or a mom looking for an affordable sturdy backpack that has room for a laptop / tablet and other little things like ear phone wire holes and stuff.. For $30 you cannot go wrong!Manufacture:Vaschy, thank you for taking the time to develop this backpack and putting in the attention to detail as you did for when a consumer purchases them. It makes you feel "welcomed". Cheers to you guys! I wish you the best moving forward as a company.god stuffI was expecting a much lower quality backpack for the price. Extremely impressed with the craftsmanship of the bag all around. Has a high quality zipper which was a big thing for me. Also the design team on this particular bag did an excellent job of compartmentalizing the interior of the bag itself. Inside are multiple zipper pockets perfect pens, phones, wallets, chargers etc.Another small thing that I liked is that it has two side pockets for water bottles instead of one and not only that buy they are designed well enough to where your water bottle or travel mug won't easily fall out. I have had every back pack from Jansport to hershel, burton, northface and for the quality that you get for the price that you pay with these bags, there is no other reason to buy any other.COMFORT: 5/5. The shoulder straps are nicely padded and there is a good amount of cushioning in the lumbar area. I sometimes have to walk across campus (~15mins) but it feels very light, even with several notebooks and a laptop.DESIGN: 5/5. I'm a sucker for simplicity. I chose the all-black design because it looks so much more cleaner and it's easier to wipe off dirt. The. material seems durable as well.UTILITY: 5/5. The product title says it can fit 14in laptops but my 15in MacBook Pro with a case fits with ample room left for my tablet. The front pouch is nice and big to fit my midday snacks and a water bottle. I think my favorite is the other mesh pouch with a zipper inside the backpack. It keeps my writing utensils and portable charger pack in place.DURABILITY: 4/5. I had a minor issue with the zipper mechanism but the support reached out to me for a solution. Other than that, the backpack is well built.The backpack is as advertised in the Vaschy slogan: "Simple and Neat". Simple meaning that the design is utilitarian and purposeful, not basic or cheap. The material feels durable and sturdy. The pocket size is ideal, neither inconveniently oversized (as seems to be more and more common) nor too small to fit a regular sized laptop and books/notebooks. As a professor, I wanted something with two shoulder straps that I can carry on my walks/bikes to and from campus without the typical "sporty" or youth styling. The interior houses several pouches without compromising on the minimalist exterior design. The strap sizes are perfect for my taste, again, neither too narrow or thin, and also not oversized and bulky with extra padding. This would work great for a day hike, daily commute pack, or school backpack. The zippers are smooth and easy to work. The zipper broke on the first pack I ordered, but they replaced the pack entirely immediately. A truly top notch customer service experience and clear willingness to live up to their satisfaction claims and warranty. All this and my favorite part was the price. One of my favorite purchases in quite a while.Decent Backpack! I Really like Only having 1 pocket Outside, but there are 3 Zipper Pockets Inside! Good Room Inside,Decent Everyday bag. Doesn’t feel Cheap. Sturdy Straps and Good Sturdy, Sewed Seams! This was a Good Find!I used this backpack everyday traveling to and from work for a year and put it through the ringer. Due to the extreme use (and my overpacking a laptop bag), the zipper broke. I reached out to Vaschy and they honored the one year warranty and provided me with a full refund. I had already purchased another one because of how perfect it is for my work commutes. Vina, their customer support representative, was great throughout the whole process and I would highly recommend purchasing this product.This was bought for my teenage daughter for her return to school. I am thrilled that it is larger than I suspected and has many little pockets and areas to put items - even though it does'nt look like it does. It a sturdy bag that is sure to hold all the stuff she seems to cart back and forth to school. She is happy that it is so plain...go figure. I miss the cute back packs from the early years but this one is much more practical.My son calls this thing the Tardis, after Dr. Who’s magically spacious phone box. It is about one third smaller in dimensions than every other school bag we have, yet it holds double. It’s very cleverly designed and has great ergonomics for a comfortable fit when carrying half the school library, a computer, all the supplies and lunch to school. Only issue is when the bag is full the drink holders are tight to get in a water bottle, but with a little huffing and puffing we get one in.Make the water bottle pockets a little more generous and this would be the best school bag in the market.This bag is really nice but it fell apart super easily and is no longer usable. I used it for school and was really nice with the amount of pockets and storage available on the bag. Unfortunately both sides of the zipper broke off and now i am unable to close the bag. there was a tear on my zipper that caused a break in it screwing up the entire zipper. I used my bag to carry a lunch water and occasionally clothes so the fact it broke at almost nothing saddens me. I really enjoyed this bag while it lasted but the wuality is not strong enough for me to replace it.THEIR WARRANTY IS REAL Y'ALL! One of my straps got broken after use and living with a puppy, and I sent an email wondering about replacing my bag. Within 24hs I had a reply which included an apology and a new backpack sent in the mail. They also do check up emails with me to make sure my new product is working well or if there is anything else I might require. THIS BAG IS A GREAT PRODUCT AND DEAL AND VASHY DIRECT'S CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AMAZINGGreat bag. Nice size. We ordered the black bag with camo pocket. Photo when purchased had a black zipper, when it originally arrived it had a pinkish colored zipper. Needless to say i had a very disappointed son. I am happy to say that the customer service is amazing and my son got the backpack with the black zipper today! Great quality backpack, great price and great trusted customer service! This company will be our first choice next time we are in the market for a new one. Thanks!
