High Sierra Access 2.0 Laptop Backpack, True Navy/Mercury, One Size Dark Blue

I've been using this backpack almost daily for 3 years now. It can fit a ton of stuff and really expands out when you pack things in it. Even with daily use going to work and the occasional weekend trip, it's still holding up great which is a testament to the backpack's quality. I'm able to pack tons of things in here, including a laptop, ipad, and noise cancelling headphones, and enough clothes for a weekend trip. The backpack fits under the seat in front of you on an airplane. Would recommend this to everyone for a versatile backpack that's good value for what you pay.

Love this backpack. This is the forth we've own. A yellow and black one, a blue one and now two black ones. I got the black one for work but as soon as I got it out of the package my son wanted it because the one we got him was too small for all his high school stuff. This holds all of it. I ordered another one for work. It is a great backpack with almost too many compartments and pockets but is a good size to actually hold a jacket, lunch box, laptop etc. Some might not like the little loops on the front, but I like them to clip a carbiner to and hang things or tie something on. Two side mesh pockets for water bottles which I like. They also hold up pretty well. We have only had one tear finally after everyday use for 6+ years. I will be sad when they stop making these.

So we haven't used this new one yet but it is EXACTLY the same as the one that was bought for my son at the start of his 6th grade year. And let me tell you, every year he has chosen to carry his 'day' around in that bookbag instead of using his locker for most things. It weighs a ton! Like 20+ pounds. Probably closer to 30. The zipper finally gave way and wants to separate but seriously, he just finished 9th grade and it broke the last week of school for him. If you didn't know about the zipper issue, you'd think it was practically brand new. It doesn't stain much that I can tell and it doesn't rip or tear. Only cosmetic damage. When asked what he would like to get as a replacement he wanted the same bag and the same color. In the pictures, you see the brand new bag and the one he used for 3 years. And let me tell you, that bag has been dropped to the floor every day at home and who knows what at school. :) It's been tossed in the back of the van and crowded in the foot area of the front passenger seat. Well worth the price than having a bag too small and needing to be replaced each year. Highly recommend. Very spacious. Fits a water bottle on the side and my son likes putting pens/pencils in that spot too. The bags ARE the same size, I checked. The new one just looks a little smaller because nothing is in it and the straps are still pulled tight. My son's still has quite a bit in it.

Really happy with size and quality. It’s so big it can get heavy if you use the full capacity. Comfortable. Many zippers ands pockets.

This is a really nice backpack with lots of convenient zippered pockets and clips. My son really liked it. But it’s only one year old and already one of the shoulder strips has almost completely ripped out of the top seam.

It's a great backpack. I bought one for myself years ago. My son "borrowed" it for school after his Nike backpack fell apart (less than one year). My daughter's 25-year-old high sierra backpack started tearing at the seams (it was mine before it was hers). I bought one for her and another for myself. Is it stylish? Meh. Does it work well for high school students and hold up to unreasonable abuse? Absolutely!

This is the ultimate backpack - more like a suitcase posing as a backpack. There are so many pockets - large and small - that can hold clothes, shoes, toiletries and anything you need for a night away. It also has special pockets for electronics including your iPad and computer. And the price is extremely reasonable.

I just got it and noticed a number of updated features: nylon material seems stronger, claims water resistant (no longer has a rain cover in base, redesigned harness and nicely adjustable cross strap which seems better, bigger water bottle pockets (maybe the bottles won't fall out when I take the pack off), no waist strap (which may be the only negative as I used that to take a heavy load off my shoulders on long hikes), the headphone compartment now is right side up so stuff won't fall out when you open it (but still too small a pocket for my over the ear Jabra's), zippers seem to have been redesigned - will see if the stitching lasts (previous models zipper stitches came loose after two years of use and bag was useless after that). The two main pockets have a nylon flap over it (rain protection?) but it definitely is stiff and makes using the zippers difficult - I fold it over backwards. Added soft lining to tiny front media pockets and added a mesh bag to the mid-pocket, retained all the nice features of the front pocket (key hook, small zippered compartment, separate nylon compartments for pens and sunscreen, etc). back seems to have been improved with padding with air groove/ spine relief. For the price I'm pretty happy, retains the side compression straps I use to get the bag thru airline size restrictions, still has a "secret" vertical side pocket which is nice for passport or extra cash or important documents - will update when I get back from 11 week trek in Asia as to how it holds up to daily use.

No había comprado antes esta marca pero leí las reseñas y se veía prometedor. El resultado fue una buena mochila, se ve resistente y muy espaciosa. Llego de un día a otro, creo que fue una buena compra. A mi hijo le gustó bastante, el color es muy bonito.

The overall packaging was good , second time buying this bag

Love this brand of backpacks, I buy these for my 3 kids and they last long, lots of room and compartments.

I had a similar High Sierra backpack that I bought several years ago and its still functioning but with some minor wear and tear. Finally it was time to get a new office backpack and I went straight back and ordered another High Sierra backpack. Although it took a few days to arrive, the color was similar to what I had picked on Amazon, looks much better than the black backpack I owned before. The compartments and functions are similar to previous one and some features are improved. It feels comfortable on the shoulders even when it is fully loaded and there's space for everything I wish to carry. Although the material appears stiff and hard in the beginning it should get softer as you use it. Also compared to the earlier HS backpack the zipper does seem lighter and needs slightly more effort at the beginning. I am pretty sure this bag will be a good office companion for years to come! No regrets going back to High Sierra whatsoever.

My kids have been using this brand backpack for 8 years. My kids last backpacks lasted 4 years of abuse. I purchased new ones for high school, and these things are hands down the best quality for your buck. Nice and roomy, with tons of storage. I always cut out the little puffy laptop separator pouches in the main area, as there's no use for them. If your kid uses the zip up binders, this particular style works best as the storage compartments are larger.
