Great capacity to weight ratio

Bought one of these from Amazon in "bird on a wire" print and one from Amazon via Altrec in the turquoise trimmed floral print for my middle school daughters. I'd previously purchased them "plain jane" Jansport packs that lasted 5 years each (and still look great!), because they were lightweight, one large and one small compartment and highly durable and comfortable. While these just came in, my daughters did a test pack of them and they have lots of capacity and are lightweight when empty. I personally would prefer they had no compressions straps which interfere with full zipper openings on at least one compartment, but doesn't seem to bother my kids. Construction looks durable, I think the Jansport padded shoulder straps were probably more comfortable. However for the style, capacity, light weight and price I think these are a good purchase. These are high capacity/large backpacks that I think would be overkill/oversized for a younger elementary student.
