    I purchased this item on sale and without looking at it in store and I am 100% pleased. It was less than $15 so I had low expectations and the quality is fantastic. I saw other reviewers criticize the zippers and they are smaller but work just fine and operate smoothly. It has many pockets and nice padded shoulder straps. The exterior seems to be a robust material as well and I think will stand up to a reasonable amount of abrasion and not rip as easily as some others I’ve seen. I actually use it as a “dad bag” for outings with small ones. It’s not huge but holds some of essentials and the extra pockets is super helpful. When they get bigger they will most likely inherit this since for school to hold their laptop. If you need a medium to medium small sized back pack I could not imagine you would ever find much better than this for the price.

    Bought it in sale for 12 dollars and i gotta say it was a great investment. I use mine for work to carry around my laptop, tablet and some extra items and it all fits great in there. A tom of storage compartments too. The only drawback would be that its not waterproof. Other than that its a great buy

    Its a very nice color backpack with the necessary pockets. I like that it has two water bottle holders that expand. I like to bring coffee and water. The laptop pocket has cushions inside for added protection. Basic but great!

    I was looking for a new laptop backpack that could hold my digital camera, chargers, and items for on the go when I travel. This bag works well with all of it, and is very comfortable to use. I like all of the outside pockets and that everything in side seems safe/secure.

      Hang it on the wall and using it to store gear is a great use of the Octave and makes it very handy to grab and go when you may need something in the bag when not around the house.
