I love this backpack! It is extremely light, compact and great quality. The shoulder straps distribute the weight evenly so I forget that I have it on. It holds my 14" laptop plus my books very easily. My sunglass's fit in the small pocket on the top and the front open pocket provides easy access to my phone and keys. The front zipper pocket fits a lot of pens and pencils plus more room inside as well as the extra inner zipper pocket. The side water pockets are snug not bulky like on other backpacks. I have the flourish print and I love it. I would recommend this backpack for students from about 5th grade to college.
