This is certainly not a heavy-duty backpack, but it is a very reasonable duty backpack.  I have the Camo Gray backpack.  The teeth on the zipper pocket on the front are silver.  So when its unzipped, it looks almost like braces.  When its zipped, you cant see the teeth.  The pocket is not too deep, but certainly large enough for pencils, pens, and most phones.  The inside of this backpack is large and roomy.  Unfortunately there are no interior pockets.  There are what I would call water bottle pockets on each side.  The back is slightly padded, as are the shoulder straps.  A little more padding would have been nice.  I keep wondering if the hood, partially covering the back, is for anything.  Ive looked and looked, and I think its only as an accent to the backpack.  Made in China.
