Updated 3/6/19: I’ve had the bag for 18 months now....and I have to say: I’m still happy I purchased it. I’m a 6’ 4’’ college student who uses the bag for my computer, notebooks, lunch, and occasionally also my gym clothes. It’s packed to the max with all that stuff but it all still fits!
I had accidentally pulled too hard on the arm straps once (because they weren’t sliding on my suede jackert) and I ripped some of the stiching out. However I told texbo about it and they completely paid for the repair and were very fast to respond. The experience probably made me a Taxbo-lifer.
The bag is still beautiful and amazing. 10/10 would buy again.
Hookay, I usually never review things, but here we go:
This bag is great overall! A great purchase for the price! Really I wanted a $350 bag I was lusting over and bought this as a compromise.
Here are the pro’s and con’s:
Pros:
Sturdy construction - I’ve used this 4 weeks in school already, dragging it everywhere with a heavy load. It’s held up well and I have no doubt it’ll hold up for the rest of my college experience (I will edit this review if it does not)
Beautiful leather - this thing really is handsome and I’m really enjoying how the leather is broken in
Lotsa pockets - There are a lot of places to put things and that’s really helpful for an OCD guy that likes to carry everything around with him and find it quickly. Even a long pen pocket which I like a lot. The pockets have these cool non buckle quick attach thing that looks nice and functions well.
Cons (for the price, I think these things are more than acceptable, but I need to add them to the review):
Not super comfortable - Shoulder straps have extra leather on them but the extra leather is on the TOP of the shoulder strap and doesn’t help with comfort at all. You just have nylon straps that aren’t padded for the straps. It isn’t necessarily uncomfortable per se, but it was a little more comfortable.
Rear pockets small - Other reviews mentioned this. I have to put smaller things like chapstick/apple earbuds, etc. in the small pockets. Not awful but it’s different than other backpacks.
Internal material is like the fabric tents are made out of. I’m sure it’ll last long but I wish it was cool checkered cloth or something like that.
The external pockets have velcro that help hold them down. Thankfully it’s never visible. This isn’t awful and it’s not too loud…but again makes the whole thing feel slightly cheaper.
There are two big internal pockets. One is a laptop sleeve which has hardly any padding on it for my laptop. The other one is on the internal front side (the side the small exterior pockets are on) and it is half as tall as a laptop. It just gets in the way and I haven’t found any real use for it yet.
Overall: I’m glad I got this backpack. It’s good for the price, I get compliments on it. However there are some drawbacks and it’s not perfect. Once I can afford it I will get that $350 backpack I wanted but for now this will more than do
