7 years agoPerfect for Travel
Love this backpack for traveling! It has a ton of storage space but also allows for easy access to everything. My only complaint is that the zippers can snag and get stuck. #sweepstakes

7 years agoMy Husband's Favorite Backpack
My husband loved this backpack. After years of being dragged around to work and on long business and personal trips, it finally started giving out. So excited when I found it again. Bought two!

7 years agoNot my 1st choice for replacement, looking elsewhere
I came across HS about 12 years ago. You were the only ones who had a backpack that would fit a 17' laptop (Access). I have back problems and travel frequently, so a regular over-the-shoulder laptop satchel doesn't work for me. The 1st one I had lasted for 5 or 6 years before I decided to buy a new one. It held up fantastically with all my travels around the country and to other countries. The main issues I had with it were weak seams, with the fabric fraying so it couldn't be repaired. I bought the same bag, and I had the same issue: weak seams. The seams started coming apart much quicker and it didn't last nearly as long. I bought my current bag (my 3rd, an XBT TSA. BTW, the TSA does not like the "TSA approved laptop feature)) late 2016, and just a few months later I went on extended business travel, making over a dozen trips up until last summer. On that 1st trip (early 2017), the seam around the bottom of exterior mesh pocket came unraveled, creating a hole to the interior. I had to attempt a repair, because things in the interior were falling out. I wasn't going to replace it after it being only a few months old. I used upholstery needles and the heaviest thread I could find. It took me the better part of an day, but it was finally usable. However, as time and trips went on, other seams gave way all over the bag, like cracks spreading across a weak dam that's about to burst open. I just came back from an extended trip to Asia, and while on that trip many more seams came undone, with one on the top opening more than 6". I have no choice now but to replace it because I'm going back to Asia very soon. Your QC process needs much improvement. I like your product's features and designs, but I can no longer trust their quality. I am disappointed to say that I will looking elsewhere, not just at HS.

7 years agoAwesome backpack!
This is our third purchase of this exact backpack. The high schoolers at my son's school do not use lockers, hence they have to carry around all of their books with them! This backpack is superb and holds everything!

7 years agoSemi-Survived 2 years of brutal high school load
This pack was used daily by my two daughters in high school. They carried about 25-30 lbs in it and schlepped it through 2 years of school. AP text books, binders, folders, lunch, pens and laptops. The shoulder straps are the weak spot: Not enough stitches per inch and the material used in the shoulder straps are selected for comfort and not for durability. The shoulder straps started ripping apart at the seams after one year and required repair at 1.5 years. I inserted 1.25" wide nylon webbing inside the shoulder strap and sewed it down well with bar-tacks. Looks like Frankenstein now but it'll last until college.

Extremely good bag
Best backpack that I've owned till date. Someone broke into my car window and stole it :( had no issues with it whatsoever. The access 2.0 however looks like a downgrade compared to this... Wondering which backpack I should go for next...
