LOVE this backpack
Ordered mainly for work and travel. I like a backpack so my hands are free when traveling, and wanted something to keep my laptop safe. I researched a LOT of different brands and couldn't find one that checked all the boxes until this one. Lots of different pockets on the front to organize things, fit both my small and large laptops, cords, two drink holders on the sides. And I appreciate the stylish accents of the zipper pulls and embroidery having the rose gold color.

Not as large as we had hoped
My 10yo daughter needed something larger than her Jester for school because she has to carry all of her school supplies with her during the day, as well as a Chromebook in a bulky case. Add a snack and a water bottle and the Jester couldn't hang. I thought the Surge would be a better option and loved that it had the chest and waist strap as she weighs all of 65 lbs. Unfortunately, it almost feels like it has less room than the Jester. I appreciate all the different pockets you get compared to the Jester, but if you actually put school supplies in all the pockets, it's a struggle to get a bulky Chromebook and all of her notebooks in and vice versa. I wonder if the extra padding for your back is part of what's prohibiting using more of the space, but I don't know. I think we are going to have to return because it was honestly too much money to keep around just for casual use. The luxe version is gorgeous though and if you don't need to carry a lot of notebooks or a bulky computer, you might be okay with the size.

Inaccurate description
I like most of the features, however description says the waist belt is removable. It is not. I hate all the extra straps hanging when I don't need them. It's so messy looking. Disappointed

Disappointed - Impractical for High School
I had high hopes for this backpack as it seemed to be of great quality. I also spent a long time researching the measurements of this backpack compared to my previous bag, a Jansport. My Jansport was 32L and this bag is marketed as 31L, so I thought there would be no big difference. My biggest mistake was ordering this bag. Just picking it up on it's own, it weighed around three pounds with nothing inside. The backpack looks seemingly big, but the excessively padded and thick laptop compartment takes up half the thing. I can only fit two 1-inch binders inside. Anything else is a squeeze and would take me a good 5 minutes just on shoving the binder in or taking it out. The front pockets would be a nice addition if the main compartment actually had space. It does not. The backpack also does not stand on it's own and topples like it has no structure, absurd for the fact that 90% of it is pure cushion and "structure". So, unless you travel to school with a laptop and basically no paper (Which in that case, this bag would be comfortable), I do not recommend this backpack - there are MUCH cheaper options on the market that have a much better design for high schoolers.

Great for school
Daughter is using it for school. The backpack has strong zippers and material. It holds her computer and all others necessities.
