I bought this backpack to use as my "man purse" in addition to my carry-on on an upcoming vacation. I will use it to hold sunglasses, passport, plane tickets, camera, maps, etc.... I do NOT plan to use it as a heavy-duty backpack. That being said, I am very pleased with the quality, size, comfortable fit of the strap, etc... Also, this trip is an "incentive" trip my staff and I earned from work, so I bought several and had our company logo stitched onto it. The fabric worked well with the stitching (which has been a problem in the past with some fabrics). I am not a fan of the "waist strap", but I will just keep it tight and out of the way, so it should not be a problem. Also, the "cell phone" pocket on the strap is only larg enough for a "basic phone", not a smart phone/iPhone/Droid. But it is a good spot for a pack of gum, chap stick, etc...

In the photo this looks fashionable and the hardware looks chunky. In person, it looks like ...a sling bag. My 20 year old daughter (who I bought it for) had me return it since she thought it was unattractive. It was the only time I ever returned something to Overstock-never realized before that the customer has to pay the return shipping fee, which was disappointing as well since other web based retailers have 2 way free shipping.

How many people can say they have purchased a backpack that has a lifetime warranty? This bag is very sturdy and yet very stylish. I was looking for a stylish backpack that I could tote thru the airport terminal with plenty of pockets to put gadgets like cell phones, a secret compartment for a wallet, bottle water, and etc. It has a waist strap that is a must sometimes for big city travel or when you are riding your bike with your bag. I love the vibrant red color and the beautiful industrial zipper detail. I plan to use this backpack for travel, "light book load" classes, and the gym.
