It's okay

Great color for sure. Looking for a backpack is a challenge being they can be so expensive, lack of descent color selections and materials. This pack doesn't stand up but falls over. All the compartments are narrow and deep which is hard to find things that may migrate to the bottom of the pack and falls short of packing it with balky items such as light jackets and such. It may be great for someone carrying their small lap top computer, note book or two and water bottle. Definitely look at this item in the store and explore it before making your purchase.

wanted to love it

The color is beautiful and the quality is great. But nothing fits in it! None of the zippers seem to open enough to put items in. Items in one pocket impact the ability to put items in other pockets. The side water bottle pockets are not stretchy, which I think is part of the problem. I also can't get it to stand upright- it just falls over. This is likely no big deal for many people, but annoys me. I went with the previous model of TNF Surge and LOVE it.

Perfect size, lightweight, comfortable to carry.

Flew to Wash. D.C. for a quick 3 day get away. Back pack was large enough to carry a couple of days of clothes and necessities. Much easier to lug a back pack than a carry-on and travels better on a plane.

Awesome pack

So many pockets to stay organized. Perfect fit under an airplane seat.

Cute but purple

Just bought this for my wife. Super cute and comfy, but definitely not pink. It’s for sure purple. The straps are a light pink, but the backpack is definitely majority purple.

Narrow shoulder straps

This is a classy looking backpack and love the features, but I found the shoulder straps too uncomfortable. Wasn't a problem I expected to have since I am a smaller person.

Not very durable

This is a nice looking backpack, but the seams and zippers fell apart in under 7 months.
