I was
disappointed to find that the bottom of the main compartment
is not solid. There is a flap that covers the "rolling
hardware" but it is easy to get small items lost down under
the flap, where is is difficult to find them. Remembering to
put smaller items in the front pockets would solve the
problem, but I don't always do that. My son has a rolling
backpack where the bottom is zippered - so it is totally
closed. This one just has a flap. This backpack is great. It
was exactly what I was expecting. I am a nursing student with
lots of books to tote around and this bag fits them perectly
and pulling it is an ease, the large tires allow me to take it
anywhere with ease. I would buy this bag again from EBags.
My 8-year old daughter used this on our trip to California. We
used Eagle creek packing cubes -- 1 cube, 1 half cube (in the
laptop compartment), 2 quarter cubes fit just right. We packed
for 10 days, doing the laundry once (so you can pack 5 days if
you can't do laundry). It held up well, she could wheel it
around, but probably would be too heavy for her to carry on
her back. This is the parent of the user... I emailed you
weeks ago regarding the pink & brown bag, that is not evident
in the pictures, as it doesn't show the backside (which is
brown) or even the brown pulls. If you are building a fashion
forward item like this in the future, at least make it obvious
that it is using two colors not commonly mixed (Pink and Brown
go together in what parallel weird universe?) |
