    its decent but with one substantial flaw

    i use this for college and my notebooks in the large compartment got bent somehow, the bag’s partitioning walls dont actually reach the top and bottom and things might slip under into 2nd compartment. comfortability and ergonomics are decent, lots snd lots of pockets. can carry a 16” laptop, overall decent backpack just didnt like that its not fully enclosed inside.
