Probably the best backpack I’ll ever own. I used a Dakine backpack previously, had been using it 8 years, and needed to be replaced. I LOVED that backpack, and thought nothing else would compare to it. To be honest, I like this Nordace backpack more, and it holds EVEN more. The design is very well thought out and put together. It feels high quality, it’s comfortable, and it’s a very nice looking backpack. Despite Nordace selling more comfortable shoulder straps, these aren’t bad at all. If you are sitting here wondering if you need if, trust me, you don’t. Pricing of the backpack is a little steep, especially not knowing what it is like given there’s only one other review. With that being said, of course I wouldn’t mind a lower price, but given the quality, I wouldn’t doubt you could get a decade out of it. That’s only $18 a year!
