Great backpack. Timbuk2 bags always feel extremely durable and high quality, and after a few months of use make you think, “This bag was totally worth the premium.”That said, know that this is a pretty small backpack. For my partner, it can hold two textbooks, a laptop, iPad, pencil case, and some toiletries (tissues, chapstick, bandaids, etc), but barely any more. Squeezing a jacket in, for example, would be a stretch.My partner is 5’1”, and this backpack sits just above her belt line. For short people like us, this pack is awesome! If you’re looking for a compact backpack that looks and feels great, don’t second guess yourself: this is the one!However, if you’re looking for a bag with a bit more space, I’d recommend the Authority pack deluxe. The design is very similar to this one here, but you get a second large compartment and a more spacious main compartment.Overall, the materials feel premium and the straps and back padding are really supportive and comfortable. It looks true to the photos in the listing. Highly recommend!
