    Padding

    Rated 4 out of 5 stars

    Don't pay full price for it

    I was able to snatch this backpack for a discounted price of $11.99 before it went up again. Sweet! I will never pay full price for it. There are signs of cutting corners: the fabric is thin (although still acceptable), paddings (2 straps, back, computer cushion) are also thin, and close to zero padding on the top handle. The main compartment is somewhat small. Time will tell how durable it will be. The blue color is more of a dull sky blue. Quite a neutral color for most people. That makes it stand out in a sea of black backpacks too!

    The backpack was pretty much what described description of Product. It seemed to work for what I needed for fit very well.
