Great for travel
Easy to roll up and store yet can really hold a lot! Sleek design that looks good with any oufit. Felt good on my back even with a heavy load of stuff inside. The zippers are smoth and don't get stuck on fabric. Great backback.

Perfect size and quality
I just got back from a 2 week trip to Italy and carried this backpack with me while traveling. It was the perfect size - it held my electronics, sweater, travel pillow, and everything i could have possibly needed. At first glance I thought it might be small but no! It fits so much. I really appreciate the dedicated laptop pocket and all of the exterior pockets for easy access. Of course most of all I appreciate that this is a zero waste bag and feels of the utmost highest quality.

Pretty Spacious!
I love to bring my laptop when I head out and about and this pack fits it perfectly. I will say the feel is a little weird, I'm used to more cloth feeling backpacks but the sheer surface really seems to help if it gets a little moist. The material is pretty thick too I feel comfortable being a little rough with it.

Zero Waste Backpack
This has been a very comfortable backpack. Even with my fulll size laptop, charger and other things, the backpack is light and still have plenty space. I love the padding on the shoulders that make it comfortable to carry.

Well made!
I actually got this as a gift for my girlfriend because she wanted something very light she could take traveling. I was skeptical of the thinness of the straps but the width actually makes it very comfortable for her (she's very small). It has just the right amount of pockets and great design

Nice backpack!
Amazing how this backpack that comes folded in a box can expand to be very spacious and roomy. I’ve been using it to carry my work laptop as well as other items I need for the day and the multiple pockets are really useful to keep things organized. The bag itself is lightweight.

Very convenient
This backpack is well made and the material is great quality. We have used this everywhere from work, to the beach, and just to carry items for a weekend getaway. It’s lightweight and has a lot of room along with many pockets. Would definitely recommend and will be looking to purchase another bag in the near future.

Best backpack EVER!
Love this bag! I was honestly unsure when I first saw it. I was not crazy about the texture and I was unsure about the straps since they are not padded. I have some ISS used with my back so the straps where my biggest concern however I was super impressed by how comfortable they are and how they fit and how well they hold up. I am in a bachelor program for psychology so even with my laptop and all my books and things it still pretty light. The material is pretty great too it just wipes clean. Even my teenage daughter asked for a bag like this!!

Fits so much!
This backpack fit so much, which is so amazing and it folds up very small! My only critique is that it was hard to set up with putting the box into the back of it to be sustainable. I think the instructions could be clearer on how to set up the backpack.

Good value
Quite sturdy for regular use in high school/university. I carried my books along with my Mac laptop most of the time. No tears and the zippers have held on well. Lots of compartments for chargers, calculators, headphones, waterbottles etc

Incredible echo friendly backpack & packaging
I was so impressed that this backpack arrived in 100% reusable Eco friendly packaging made of recycled materials ! It’s a black 15-16" Zero Waste EcoSmart Backpack and the backpack itself is sturdy , well made and also made of mostly recycled materials! It gives you directions right on the clear outside packaging of the backpack how to fold at the packaging up and place it inside the backpack so that you can slide a laptop inside. It’s also very comfortable to wear. The shoulder straps are comfortably padded. When I need to wash this , I just take a wet washcloth to it.

Lightweight and spacious
This backpack is so lightweight you could fold it up in a small purse! It is actually very spacious and great quality despite being so light. It even has a padded laptop space and nice extra zippered spots. My husband is using this as his new backpack and loves that the bag itself doesn't add extra weight. Looks very nice as well!

Great Backpack.
I got this backpack to use for traveling. I have used it several times now and was really happy with it. It is light weight and has ample room inside. The shoulder straps are easily adjusted and comfortable to wear. I like that there are pouches on both side for a water bottle. The material is sturdy and I was easily able to wash off wash off a stain.
