L.L.Bean Original Book Pack

It's very comfortable. It has a lot of space and protects quite well against water. We bought it for last summer. My son uses it every day for school, there he carries his laptop, but it is already showing some damage in one part. We did not like it. I would have given it five stars, but I think the...

I was looking for a backpack for work. This was not it. The fabric just isn't that attractive. Also the bag utilizes fleece for softness and padding. Compared to other bags I've purchased from this company, this one is my least favorite.

My sixth-grader wanted a basic black backpack that would hold all her books/essentials since they don’t have lockers. She chose this backpack and was excited when it arrived. She immediately filled it with everything she needed for school only to realize she couldn’t zip it closed because the zipper...

I just got it and noticed a number of updated features: nylon material seems stronger, claims water resistant (no longer has a rain cover in base, redesigned harness and nicely adjustable cross strap which seems better, bigger water bottle pockets (maybe the bottles won't fall out when I take the pa...

My daughter is in 8th grade and needed a backpack that would hold binders, a chromebook, her lunch bag, water bottle, etc. This backpack fits the bill. It has several compartments that can hold all of these items and more. The back and shoulder straps have nice padding, making this backpack more com...

I only buy high sierra brand back packs, their durability is superior, shoulder straps have high level if comfort and they are very sturdy. I use them for my airplane Carry On. I used my last one for 12th grade then ‘retired it’ after graduation in 2009, to become my Airplane Carry On bag, that one ...

After 10 years of daily use I finally had to replace my 1st High Sierra backpack due to the zipper ripping out, but can’t complain, I definitely got my $ worth! I’m a truck driver and used that backpack to take anything and everything I needed to take with me on the road and it never let me down. Th...

I am a college student who walks about 4-6 miles during the week, so I need a durable backpack that will hold all of my stuff and be comfortable in the heat, as well as keep my things dry during the rain. I've only had my backpack since the start of this semester but so far it has been awesome. Cons...

The seam has come undone in less than 60 days. My son uses this backpack to carry folders and papers to/from school. There is no weight in the pack since students are no longer given books for class, so weight in this pack was minimal. Very disappointed in the quality of this pack.

Got this backpack for our 7th grader who had outgrown a smaller High Sierra bag and this is definitely a step up! Great bag, holds everything (including his chromebook in it's case) and still closes! Hoping this will last him until at least high school.
