i love this backpack!
i primarily use it for baseball/football games at the stadium where they check your bags at the front door.
its easy and fast for them to see your contents and let you be on your way.

I don't put alot of heavy items in there, so I cant comment on its durability.

I like the side pockets for easy-to-access items.

The size of it I think is made for a big kid.

I recommend it :)
