APC Leather Backpack on Wheels

I purchased 2 of these backpacks for my kids to use for school. I got tired of having to buy a new backpack every year because of the nylon bags getting torn up, the plastic "feet" cracking and not keeping the pack upright, and the wheels sticking. I am hoping that the leather will prove to be more durable and will last for more than a school year. So far, I am very pleased with my purchase. The packs are large enough to hold all the heavy books and lunch boxes, etc. and they roll with ease. Other reviews I read mentioned having to cut the optional shoulder straps off to prevent them from dragging. Not so. They can be easily tucked in and kept out of the way. Simply tuck the straps in where the handle pulls out, unzip the bottom and pull the straps through. Some binding of the longer straps may be necessary, but once you zip the bottom back up, the straps are concealed with no cutting involved! If you are considering this backpack and are still on the fence, jump off and make the purchase. You will NOT be sorry!

All-in-all a very good purchase. The backpack is a great size and has just the right number of pockets etc. My only concern was the zipper-pulls (not the zippers themselves) came off on two of the zippers and I had to re-attach them. Aside from that, I have already used it on two trips and I love it !

This is a rather large and spacious backback. The wheels make it very versatile when you have both books and laptop to carry. The side pockets are good for keys and cell phones. Note: larger laptops will be a tighter squeeze, and will require a cushion case of their own (one 15" case included).

I bought this bag to carry my school books. It has done the job for me. The bag including books weighs in at 37lbs. I have used it for 7 weeks now. No Problems. Thank You Overstock, what a back and knee saver.
