I use this backpack for school everyday and I love it so much. First of all, it's very lightweight so my back won't hurt. Also, it's gorgeous, very simple and unique style that you don't see on regular backpacks. The quality of it is so good; it's a strong fabric that does not tear. I have been using it for about three years and no damage at all has been done. I expect this bookbag to last a least 10 more years. The only thing that might be a con of this bookbag would be the price, but I think it's totally worth it. If you're going to waste money on bookbags that break or tear easily, you might as well get this bookbag.

I bought this going into high school hoping that it would be able to hold all the books and notebook/binders we need to keep taking back in forth to school and home. But after just 2 weeks of about 4 textbooks and a few notebooks, the hanger thing on top started to rip. The strap that is connected to that, also started to slowly rip. For the price I wouldnt recoommend it for someone who is looking for a durable school backpack that holds a lot of books. I now have another kipling backpack, its the seoul backpack, and i must say it is much better. Also, the zipper on this bag to open to the main part of the backpack, is horrible! It always gets stuck to the material over it. The larger zipper like the one on the smallest pocket it so much better.

    This is a very great backpack! i use it for school , and it holds all my books . very roomy and practical .Also very stylish , One thing i really dont like is that it only has three pockets . I wish it had more . The straps hurt your back a little, wish it had more padding , other than that I see this backpack lasting a very long time

              i've had my large hiker for 12 years... was my only small bag... i used it for everything... concerts (and for 3 or so years i was a serious concert goer), parties, i was in a band and threw in all kinds of pedals/cables, carry-on/vacations/road-trips, etc... took it to kuwait/germany when i was in the AF...

              the zipper finally gave out as i've been using it to carry my laptop, etc... cant wait to get my large seol...

              i love the bag but i think it should come in more colors. all the other bags do and this bag should too. maybe a matching pen and pencil should come inside as a surprise... creativity is the key to success.

                I personally love the hiker. My parents got it for me for when i start middle school and I have been dying for a backpack as cute as this one. It has SOOO much room. I can fit my BIG 3 inch binder and two text books when its expanded. I use it for mainly school and travel. All in all its a great backpack and I had got it when it was on sale in true blue. (after the sale it wasnt in stock for a couple of weeks)
