This saved me from overspending on a backpack...AGAIN!

This saved me from overspending on a backpack...AGAIN!
Some background:I started attending a 4 year university last year. I hadn’t had a backpack since middle school. In high school I only needed a binder and my purse to hold everything. Same goes for me stint at community college. So I was in the market for one.I guess I’m a little picky when it comes to backpacks because I had some things I was looking for that were either 1) hard to find on a backpack or 2) instantly made the backpack more expensive.I needed a backpack that could hold (at the time) my 15.6 inch laptop, a water bottle pocket on the outside (a must for me because I’m carrying tech and have had leaks before), one that wasn’t hideous to look at and wasn’t too big for my frame (I’m a petite 5’2” woman).I originally bought a $120 Vera Bradley backpack that was on sale for a cheaper, more reasonable price. I love that backpack but it always stayed puffed out. Even if there was hardly anything in it. It always was in the way in class or while walking around campus. I felt like a turtle. It was great for travel, but not class.So I bought a much small cloth backpack that looks similar to the Falljraven backpack - but much cheaper. I got a smaller laptop, so I could get something smaller. Again, a fine backpack but the straps would dig into my shoulders. Walking around with this on for a day causes my back to hurt so much. Not to mention the straps unsnapping and almost sending my new laptop plummeting to the ground.I looked at so many brands looking for a backpack that had all the things I wanted. And honestly, this is it!!I was apprehensive to purchase because of the silly photo on the description with the young woman. The backpack looked like a clown car on her and it didn’t match the photos that advertise it. If I had payed attention to the fine print and saw that the model was as small as she was, I probably would have ordered sooner.This is a new item for me, so I can’t really say how durable it is. But it feels sturdy and comfortable from the times that I’ve walked around with it. And for those wondering, the water bottle in the pocket is 40oz and 3 inches in diameter. Depending on what’s inside (I have my 13 in laptop with a notebook and folder inside when the photo was taken) if there is room to shift the contents a bit a big water bottle like mine can fitTLDR: this backpack is great! Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Commuter Backpack
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2022
This backpack was everything I hoped it would be. It's roomy without being bulky, the design and color are exactly as expected, and the construction seems sturdy. It fits my 11" tablet, my flex binder, my water bottle, and my 2 tier bento lunchbox perfectly, with room at the top for a sweater or other incidentals.

And even with all that space, it's still a compact size. I'm 5'0", so it's very easy for backpacks to look massive on me. This doesn't. It's a perfect commuter size with plenty of space for typical school or work items- though I'd guess more than 1 or 2 textbooks is probably a bad idea if you're trying to get the maximum lifespan out of it.

All in all, I'm thrilled with this purchase, and highly recommend it. It probably won't last for more than a couple of years at best, but for the price, it's absolutely worth it. I hope Amazon keeps selling this product for a long time.
