This is a really great product for the money, it is easy and intuitive to use, high quality with respect to material, stitching, clasps, straps and padding. On the exterior, the stitching is very good, no loose threads or gaps. The straps are comfortable, with plenty of adjustment for small to large individuals. The padding on the back is also comfortable. There is also a zippered storage pocket in the lower pad for security items. The zippers are solid, work really well and the pulls feel good to the touch and have a nice chrome finish. The two stretch nets on the side are very convenient for water bottle or items you need to get to often. There are plenty of pockets for storage of a multitude of items including sun/eye glasses, pens/pencils, etc. The back panel opens up completely which makes it easy to store a laptop and there are two additional storage areas for file folders. The velcro strap to hold the laptop in place as well as one file storage area is long enough and also has good stitching with no loose ends. The next area is good sized for books or clothing if you are taking a day/over night tip and can pack lightly. It also contains the opening for a phone cord to for charging. A nice feature if you are out all day. Finally, the insulated lunch box area is constructed very well. I tested this with an ice block and it only lost 10 degrees over 3 hours inside. (40 to 50 deg F). Read more
5/5 Stars – The Ultimate Student Backpack That Checks Every Box I’ve gone through more backpacks than I care to admit—ripped zippers, frayed straps, and that one infamous spill that turned my laptop sleeve into a swamp. Then I found this bag, and it’s honestly hard to imagine ever needing another. Let’s start with the build quality: the exterior is a tough, water-resistant nylon that should shrugs off rain, snow with ease. The stitching is reinforced at every stress point, and the zippers glide like they’re on ball bearings. The compartment game is next-level. There’s a padded laptop sleeve, a tablet pocket, two side bottle holders, a front quick-access stash, and a ridiculous number of internal organizers for pens, chargers, AirPods, you name it. But the real MVP is the insulated lunch compartment. It’s fully separated at the bottom, keeps food cold (or hot) for hours, and—here’s the genius part—Skip lunch? Boom, instant extra space for more stuff. No other bag I’ve seen pulls this off. For high school or college, it’s perfect. It swallows a 4-inch stack of textbooks without bulging, distributes weight evenly and the chest strap keeps everything locked in place when you’re in a rush. And the price? Laughably good. I was ready to drop triple digits on a “premium” brand, but this outperforms them in every way and costs less than a couple of textbooks. If you’re looking for a backpack that’ll outlast your degree (and probably your first job), this is it. 10/10. Pic is side by side of another cooler bag that I have that isn’t nearly built as well as this one. Read more
Very solid bag. I work in a factory so it’s nice to carry all my stuff around in my bag including my lunch. I wish it had some support that separated the top from the storage in the bottom. If you put anything in the top that’s not inside the pockets then it falls back behind the bag in the bottom compartment. Other than that it’s light weight, i like the grey and it’s very functional. The padding on the straps makes it comfortable and protects my shoulders. Buy it! Read more
I’m very pleased with this. I bought it because it had the lunch insulated compartment. That compartment holds square things a lot better than something like a round salad bowl but I’m still happy with it. It’s very spacious and well-made and has just the right amount of compartments and handles and padding on everything. It seems like a more expensive bag than it is. I would highly recommend this if you’re looking for a backpack with a lunch section that also holds your laptop. Again, it doesn’t hold a big bowl for salad, but it’s OK because it holds a big enough size container for a nice size salad. It also is insulated. I threw out two other bags that I used to carry to work together after I bought this. Read more
Perfect bag for work. I can carry everything I need- water container, lunch, laptop, iPad, accessories. Good quality. Read more
This backpack is EVERYTHING I've been looking for! For years my lunchbag has been overflowing with everything I tote around from daycare/school paperwork, notebooks for grocery lists, paperwork for my rental properties, etc. I never had room for actual food in my lunch bag. This backback changed everything!! The cooler keeps my food separate from the inordinate amount of things I juggle araound every day, and now everything is organized into it's own compartment and easy to find! No more losing things at the bottom of my lunchbag. Not only that, but I'm now easily able to add a laptop to my daily carry when needed, since there's a laptop compartment as well. The straps are padded well, and it's very comfortable. Very very happy with this backpack, and would buy again in a heartbeat. Worth every penny. Read more
Nice bag, not a great layout for stuff inside plus inside the cooler bag Read more
This is a really well made insulated backpack. Quality seams and zips. Perfect size to hold warm or cold food and lots of personal items too! It comes with lots of zippered pockets of different sizes (one specially for a computer or tablet), one hidden against your back against theft. It has a USB charging port, water bottle holder and even an attached bottle opener. This is the second Velaybor pack I've bought. The first has been on a long trip to Iceland, Europe and back with no signs of wear! Read more
