Olympia 19-inch Rolling Backpack

Rating

I recently returned to school after 15 years for Medical Assisting. Little did I know that by book would weigh about 40#. The shoulder bag just wasn't cutting it. I order this rolling backpack in green. It is very true to the color on the screen, maybe a little more sage like. The rolling feature on this bag is nice and smooth and the bag itself is very well made and sturdy. It holds all my books, binders, workbooks...everything. I also love the little mesh pockets on the outside. They are great for a water bottle and index cards. Overall, I am very happy with the bag. You can not beat the quality for the price. Great product.

This backpack is a winner for me! I am older and have arthritis in my one shoulder and wrist, so carrying a regular backpack is not an option for me. I bought this to carry reference material for my job, as I work at multiple locations and have to walk quite a distance from the parking lot at the one office. This is the perfect size for me, it holds all the material and has room for my lunch. The middle section has 3 pen slots and a small open pocket. The zippers work smoothly. It rolls very smooth and much quieter than a previous one I owned. I like the feet on the front, so it sits upright under my desk when I'm at work. The 2 outside mesh pockets are great for keeping drinks upright and easy to reach.

We're quite happy with the size of this backpack. It fits all of my fifth-grader's many books (and my gosh, she has a lot of them) plus a jacket. The only frustration is that it can tip forward when full, so it has to be packed with all heavy stuff in the back to lessen the possibility of tipping forward. So far it's held up well with daily use. Great value at this price.

I love this backback, I am taking a course in accounting, we have several books and if I wasnt able to roll them, I think that my back would be shot by now. I am very happy with this product. It had plenty of room for all the pencils etc that I need as well.

I have just received the Olympia 19in rolling backpack in the green, and I'm very pleased with it. I'm a 1st-year nursing student, and my current load of books weighs 33 pounds/15 kg. I thought about using a piece of wheeled carry-on luggage, but the two that I have don't allow you to reach in from the top when sitting in a cramped classroom. But there's just no way I can carry 33 lbs. on my back all day, so even though I have _4_ regular backpacks of varying sizes, I knew I had to get a wheeled pack. <br><br>I seriously considered the Jansport Superbreak, which they were selling at the campus bookstore, and many of my fellow students are using. The Jansport is almost exactly the same size, only has the main compartment and a medium-sized outer pocket, but it has a hard plastic insert in the bottom third of the pack, making it very sturdy. Even though it was twice the price, I almost got it, only to find that the bookstore sold out of all except the most _UNattractive_ prints (!)<br><br>That's when I looked online and found this item. The apple green is between lime and mint, true to the way it appears on my monitor. The main and second compartments hold _all_ my books with room for a sweater. Although the retractable handle slides up/down a little loosely for my taste, it still feels sturdy when wheeling along at top speed around corners. The bright yellow interior was a happy surprise, too.I feel like I really got a DEAL on a quality product that meets my needs. I'm happy to recommend it.
