Against my better judgement, I got this backpack in red for my son.  We ordered several through Amazon and this is the one he liked the best even though I didn't like it. The backpack was for him to use so I let him pick the one he wanted to keep. Unfortunately in less than two months this backpack is falling apart in two different areas.  The side mesh pocket that we use to put his water bottle has a hole.  The stitching on the top handle is coming off and also has a hole.  The school year is over in about two months so hopefully this sucky bag will last until then.
