High Sierra Spire Frame Backpack - Durable Hiking & Travel Backpack for Men & Women, Black/Tungsten, One Size - Perfect for Outdoor Adventures, Camping & Daily Commute

I debated this one for some time. I had a cheap backpack that I got for 20 bucks finally die. I wanted to upgrade to something nice, but I didn't want to buy something that I was onyl going to use when hiking, or going sever camping. I wanted something for light hikes or even bring something to the office in without looking like a crazy person.There's a decent number of pockets, though my old one, which had a pouch that reminded me a school organizer, was better at holding the smaller stuff. All the pockets in this relatively big. That's not neccesarily a bad thing, but I would have like a little built in organizing.I also like the fact that it has a pocket and proper holes for a bladder/camelback.I never noticed the supposed frame, which I was kinda concerned about. I might go looking for it some day, haha.We initially purchased this as a carry-on for my wife's trip to South Africa. She was checking luggage, but wanted a backpack that would be comfortable and spacious to carry with her on the plane and through her journey. For that trip and for the next few, this backpack did fine. After a few months of very infrequent use, however, the stitching on one of the shoulder straps has started to come loose. It's not come completely undone, but we don't trust it anymore. Everything else on the bag has held up and looks great, but the shoulder strap is a pretty integral part of the bag!Apart from the shoulder strap, this IS a great bag. It is comfortable, and the straps are easily adjusted and allow for a long day of wear without undue stress on the body. It has great zippers that are easy to open and close and stay closed. The flexible side pouches have not worn out as we've seen on other bags, and the bottom has handled wear and tear well. If it weren't for the disintegrating shoulder strap, this would be a five-star bag!I purchased for my Asia trip not long ago. It was perfect. I have a lot to pack as a father of a 14 months girl. I packed 4-5 pieces of diaper, a 4 layers of formula dispenser, thermos, snacks bowl, baby wipes and still got room for other stuffs. This backpack is good for hiking too. And I look forward to use it for my up coming mini trips!This backpack is awesome, very lightweight, with so many useful pockets and places to put large and small items. I really like the side pockets for a water bottle and the cell phone holder on the strap. Great price as well.Super cost and great item and it meets my needs, carry a netbook and other supporting item for my daily use.The wife backpacked Europe with this and it help up great.Great bag, Great price.The design of the backpack is good but the material are very bad for the price. You can find others models better than this in other brands for the same price or less.I TOTALLY DONT RECOMEND THIS.bon produit
