Ok so I am legally Blind and I walk everywhere or I take the bus. So I mainly use a backpack cause i carry everything with me even my meal prep breakfast and lunches to work. My 2 backpacks were from payless and they broke fast.  I say all that yo say this I love this backpack. Its sturdy but not heavy. I love that I can wear it 3 different ways like the henri bendle jet setter backpack which I have but never use because its heavy. I am really considering buy another one as a backup because I ove it so much.
