Herschel Supply Co.  Retreat Pack

Best backpack for travel.

Hello! I'm a digital nomad and travel the world with my laptop and my stuff. Buying a Herschel backpack was the best decision. I bought it in Los Angeles, came to New York, and from there flew to Asia. Now I travel to different countries, it is very convenient to pack things with and go through any control at the airport, in addition, it always fits in hand luggage. The quality of the materials is excellent! In addition to this, I purchased a small Herschel bag for cables and chargers and am very pleased. Thank you for your quality, design and convenience!

Retreat Backpack - not worth the struggle

The Retreat backpack was not a good choice. The closing mechanism is not practical, the "Easy U-pull drawcord closure" is anything but easy to deal with. The drawstring clasp is hard cumbersome to deal with, you would need three hands to unlock it to have the string running into it. The metal eyelet fell with last then two months of backpack usage. The internal space is amazing, but the lack of compartments makes it impossible to find something small, like a key or wallet, when you are in a rush. Overall, I wouldn't tell my friends to buy it. Not worth.

Perfect size

Perfect every day bag for school, work and travel! The addition of side pockets is great for easy access to water bottle + umbrella. The lining and material of the bag also feels water resistant and durable. Doesn't attract pet hair too much. The only thing that I wish was different about this bag is the front pocket- would be much better with a zipper compartment as this one has little room and potential theft is a concern.

Professional Meets Practical

My wife surprised me with this bag for my new job and it has been fantastic! The construction on the bag is the highest quality, but I appreciate that it's ample space with style that is appropriate even for a professional setting. I love the color and the flexibility of its utility (the side pockets can easily hold a Nalgene bottle and the side zipper makes laptop access super convenient. 10/10 backpack!!

Sturdy, elegant, roomy

I bought this backpack for day trips. There's room enough for everything I need for a day trip or overnight. The deep purple color I chose is exactly how it appeared online. I plan to buy another (maybe different style/color) in future, and maybe a sternum strap, too. I prefer carrying it by the short handle on top or over one shoulder. I'm a senior on the move.

Looks good, but some strange design

It looks good, easy to carry. But, I didn’t notice one thing when buying, there is a zipper along the back padding that leads to the internal compartment. Absolutely perfect for pickpockets. If you travel on a public trans this is the best opportunity for someone to get to your bag. Otherwise great. Serves the purpose.

I love the material, the print and the lightness. It is sturdy enough to protect my laptop and sits comfortably on my shoulders. Side pockets hold my water bottle really well. I do wish it would have one extra compartment inside to keep things more organized but overall i’m happy :+1::skin-tone-2:

Herschel Retreat Backpack

I’m very satisfied with the overall quality of the backpack. It’s very comfortable and durable. I do wish that the straps were easily adjustable so that I could lengthen and shorten them when needed. Having a few extra pockets inside the bag wouldn’t hurt. Overall I’m satisfied with my purchase.

Very satisfied

I really liked the backpack, specially cause it’s rain proof. I think the size is just right, not to big, not to small. It was a nice surprise to find the pocket on top, that’s really helpful for handy stuff like keys or wallet.

It’s a large book bag which I like and was going for but there are no inside compartments for pens and the extra side storage space is not its own space. If anything goes into that side pocket it falls into the laptop space.
