Purchased this rucksack for my son who is going on the school trip, He specifically wanted a backpack as opposed to a man bag he wanted it to be roomy but he wanted it to be lightweight because he was all that going to be wearing it all day and would carrying a fair amount of stuff
He also needed to be in the school colours and that was why I went with this one it ticked all the boxes and it was red! When it arrived it was a nice size for him fitted comfortably on his back after just in the straps had many many pockets most constructive well, so we didn’t foresee any problems with stitching or zips. After the school trip he said it had been comfy he had put firm at the stuff in it and it hasn’t hurt his back, the nicely padded straps didn’t cut into his shoulders
It was also waterproof and although not put to the test that time I think this will probably be a firm favourite for him specially when he goes on weekends away with his dad so all in all a good purchase that is recommended
