I've had my backpack for awhile now. It's my go to, I don't carry a purse - so this I can grab and throw in the backseat with everything I need for the day - whether it's gym or work or play. I didn't plan on leaving a review - it's a back pack, you put stuff in it, you put it on your back, and you carry it. The only thing (I thought) that set this backpack apart was the ability to customize it with different straps. Boy, was I wrong. Yesterday my trainer said to meet him at the bridge and bring a sturdy backpack. The bridge is about a 3 mile hike across and has some pretty steep inclines. Of course, I thought he meant a bag to bring waters and whatever we needed to work out with on the bridge. When he pulled out his army backpack and two 45 lb dumb bells - I didn't know if my back pack could handle that weight. Not only could it - it did so way more comfortably than his. I never had to readjust the entire way. When we turned around he had to take his pack off and rest his shoulders. He reached for mine to give me a break, but I told him no need. I did have a sweatshirt inside the bag to cushion the weight from the very bottom, but nothing between the bag and my back, but I never felt the weight hitting me. The padding is amazing. If this thing ever does break - which I highly doubt - I will be right back here to purchase another - they are that well made. Thanks Bros - for an awesome product that will probably outlast me !

So, since I had this backpack for nearly all seasons (except winter) I feel ready to give it a review. I ordered this backpack in a haste with my well collected points and together with this the Brave Straps (sneaked a gold Closure Strap). When I first bought it I had no use for it but afterwards, when I started nursing school in April it was being used daily. It fits my big folder and a water bottle (but ordered the Water Capsule). My folder is quite heavy so it can hold it and fit a lot. So in spring and autumn it's really comfortable to wear, when the weather isn't quite hot but in summer I have realized that you tend to sweat more at the back which I really don't like. And for Waterproof yeah let's mostly. Lately it rained quite heavily and I also had my umbrella with me but still the bottom of my backpack did get wet (yes from the inside) nothing too dramatic since my folder is made of plastic but it still made me sad because I was always so happy with it. Aldo in July after three months of using it daily one of the straps (see picture) just ripped which kind of destroys the structure of the strap. So in general it's a great Backpack, it fits a lot and the system of adding capsules and customizing it with the Straps is amazing. I can recommend this backpack but keep in mind, that it isn't perfect bdut maybe just mine is a little bit faulty... You never know.

I used this bag for everything and it better than other bag I have used because it stronger and you can put a bunch of stuff in this bag. You ever looking for a bag to carry stuff this is the bag.

An amazing backpack. Would highly recommend. Great quality. I love the little pockets in the back it has.

I bought this bag and can't tell you how much I LOVE it! It is by far my most favorite bag and one I will use forever. I wasn't sure about the zip down feature and the lack of "pockets" but it is perfect. I can zip it down to see everything in my bag. My laptop fits great. My everyday bag and water pack fit perfect. Love the straps and it's comfortable. Only thing I would like to see is something that I could attach my PEARL pins to (besides the straps) because I don't want to ruin the waterproof nature of the bag.
