Smart Pockets, One Weak Spot
4/5 stars · Recycled-plastic backpack, teal · reviewed by Diego M.

I study industrial design, so I notice how products are made. I’ve carried this teal backpack to campus every day for four months.

The best part is the pockets. The laptop sleeve is padded, and the cotton lining protects my sketchbooks. The front zip pocket is great for keeping keys and cards safe, and there’s a rain cover at the bottom for sudden storms. The fabric is made from recycled plastic bottles, which I love.

The only problem is the bottle pocket. The laptop sleeve is great, but the bottle pocket isn’t: the mesh is loose, so my bottle falls out when I bend down.

Overall, it’s a smart bag for carrying a laptop in the rainy season. I’d recommend it, but buy a bottle clip too.
