High Sierra OverSteer Wheeled PackDO NOT BUY!!!
I bought this bag and I loved the room and the spacing. The very first day, I went to get the telescope handle, and w/o any weight at all, it snapped off. The metal split and the plastic broke. I have returned it and I am looking for another bag from another company, but I really am disappointed b/c the bag part was cute and roomy.
strong, and good looking too....
My son is in Junior High. He loves his rolling backpack and the other kids like to kick it. This one holds us, though, through all sorts of kicking, dragging, bouncing up and down stairs and curbs. Lots of great pockets and sections too.
Works for me!
I purchased this backpack to use in my second and third trimester of pregnancy at the college I attend. The doctor advised (and my husband insisted) that I no longer lug around the 40+ pounds of "stuff" I need for a day on campus. So far this backpack has been working out well. The pockets are big enough to hold the books/folders/lab manuals/notebooks I need for my three classes plus my laptop and various other random things I've decided can't be left behind (antacids, anyone?). A couple times I've been positive the cloth handle was going to tear off as I lifted it into my car, but it's held firm without a hint of fraying or ripping. The only reason I didn't give this product a full 5-stars is that the pull handle used for wheeling along is a little wobbly. It's doing fine so far, but I'm only in my 2nd week of hardcore use and I can just tell it's going to be a problem eventually. I made sure to keep the little tag telling me where to send it in for warranty repair should my instincts be correct.
Great for travel and convention
I bought this to take to conventions with me. Knowing I usually end up with a lot of books, handouts and going back and forth between presenters I needed someplace to stow all my heavy items and move around without hurting my back. The outside water bottle packets are convenient and all the internal dividers and pockets allowed me to organize all my things and access them with ease. The only drawback is the handle, the T shape is inconvenient and the backpack often rolled on its side as I was pulling, then I had to stop and flip it back to its normal position. A regular upside down U handle would be much better to grab and more stable to pull. It's big enough that it can be used for overnight travel as well. Otherwise I really like it and plan on using it often. P.S. because of its hard bottom I could not stow under the airplane seat. I would offer a smaller version of this one just for airplane travel that could be stowed under the airline seat.
bad handle quality, dont' buy
I bought this bag for my 5th grader after he went through a couple of rolling backpacks earlier, thinking that this is the one. After only 2 weeks, the handle came off when he was getting ready for school. Although the backpack looks pretty solid bag wise, the handle part does look very shaky. I remember thinking about that when I first received it. Guess my instinct was right.
