The backpack overall is great. I’m using it for my hour commute to and from school. It’s got lots of space. You can fit anything you need in there for the day. There’s a great laptop compartment (which can only be accessed from the side zipper). It only has two inner pockets, one of which is a tablet sleeve, one small top pocket and one water bottle holder. For the amount of space in it I would personally prefer more pockets. I carry a fair amount of weight in it and it’s still pretty easy to carry and okay on my back. The chest strap helps quite a bit with weight distribution. I do wish the pack had a bit sturdier of a frame. It’s fairly floppy and will conform to my back. If it’s hot out the backpack will stick right on ya. Definitely doesn’t have great breathability. Overall it suits its purpose and is a great looking bag. It’s holding up phenomenally well; Dakine makes bags that last.
