Carhartt Legacy Deluxe Work Backpack, Grey, One Size

This is the strongest and best made backpack I’ve ever owned. I’ve taken this with me daily for the last 2 years and other than a dime sized hole on the bottom, it is in perfect condition. Actually better than when purchased now that it’s broken in. Rain, snow, sleet, and hail have tried to weather this bag and came up embarrassed. Not one zipper is broken or out of place. If you are considering a new bag for your kids, sports, or literally whatever, this is a fantastic choice.

At this point, I'd consider myself a backpack expert. I've owned so many it's not even funny. I guess I just have a thing for backpacks. It's by far my favorite kind of luggage. Anyways, it is VERY well built. It also has the perfect amount of pockets and compartments in the perfect places. They offer a cheaper one which yes, it's nice, but very basic. This one has a place for everything, and once you learn it, you find very quickly how efficient and convenient it really is. This thing beats out much more expensive packs out there. The only thing I'd change is to add one of those straps that goes across your chest keeping the main straps nice n snug. Still, 5 stars all day long.

I bought this at the last minute to use as my personal carry-on item for a long flight. This worked out perfectly. The many compartments helped to keep me organized and I was even able to carry a few things that did not fit in my suitcase. I also carried my camera and an extra lens and felt it was well protected. My only wish is that it had a trolley sleeve to make it easier to carry with luggage. Will also work great when I go back to the office and have to carry a laptop and a pair of shoes.

I like the canvas. I work outside and sit the bag down on dry ground but sometimes on rough areas. It gets tossed around a bit and packed full. I’ve owned it for a few months now with no complaints. The side pockets are large enough to hold a paint spray can and the hidden back pocket is perfect for writing notebooks or a laptop. I would recommend a sleeve for the laptop though for extra protection.

Our high school students do not have lockers. They must carry every book all do for all subjects. They are heavy. This pack works and is sturdy. The last two we bought (not this brand) tore at the seams within weeks.
