I noticed a few comments were saying that it was fake and i also was able to tell from the pictures that some backpacks were not authentic but i took a risk and mine is 100% real. I have one already that i  bought directly from the website and its identical. I don't know why some people got fake ones (for sure some did) and thats the risky part. So if you are willing to risk it go for it. But i guess i got lucky cause mine is real, it has the same feel to the logo, same zipper handles, water resistant, same reflective logo, etc. I LOVE IT :) BUT PLEASE KNOW YOU MIGHT BE TAKING A RISK FOR A FAKE ONE cause by the looks of the product review pictures, some of those were definitely fake, this is why i rate it 4 stars bc  its fishy. However I am super thankful mine was real! :D
