We have both the Scorcher" sports backpack and the Alliance" backpack from The Northwest Company Officially License sports team product line. There bags run $25 and up. Thats my point of compassion for the ZIPIT Backpack.

Although, the ZIPIT Grillz Backpack seems like a fashion item, its actually quite comparable in price and quality to the backpacks we get at Target or Walmart each year. And was surprised the ZIPIT backpack was actually priced better and the quality was better than the Northwest Company Backpacks that are officially licensed sports team products like NFL.

There is plenty of room in the backpack for books and laptop and extra pockets to store smaller items. It was made well, the zipper seems sturdy and the straps seemed to hold the heavy books well.

Every year our goal seems to be selecting backpacks that will at least make it through a school year or two. I remember when we had backpacks that would last years.
