OUT OF OFFICE

Replaced my previous Eastpak, which survived 8 years of daily use and abuse. This has thus far served as a worthy replacement. No bells or whistles, just a good quality backpack which is a bargain at the price (£28).It boasts fewer features than other brands, but it's more than fit for purpose. Simplicity is its appeal.It's certainly true what they say: less is more.

This has to be the Perfect Backpack! Bought for my daughter who needed one that would hold her laptop securely and other items. It also needed to be thief-resistant, comfy to wear and stylish as it was for use when working abroad. When it arrived she was thrilled to bits with it. I then got a visit from my older son and when he saw the newly purchased backpack he commented “that’s identical to mine”. He then turned round and showed me the exact version currently on his back! He said he had been using it for a few years now and he would never buy anything else now. He is a photographer and carries his laptop everywhere. Couldn’t believe I had bought the exact one, but so glad I did, knowing how fantastic it is.

I have had this backpack for about 4-5 years and it had not failed me since then. A true travel companion.

I needed a slightly larger backpack. I did a lot of research. My previous Eastpack was a great backpack, but I wanted something that had some water resistance, as my old one would just get soaked & soak everything that was inside. Sadly, even though it says it is water resistant, it also just get soaked through with light rain. Oh well. Aside from that, it's roomy, sturdy, not too heavy & comfotable

Well made, comfortable to wear/carry from a manufacturer that produces quality items at great prices. Perfect for travelling with my laptop and associated electronics and power adapters. Very happy with this choice.

I have a Eastpak soft suitcase which is robust and well made and has survived multiple long haul trips. I thought I would buy this as my standard day sack for work and airports. How wrong I was. The key element of ruck sac functionality is that the straps should remain fixed to the bag. This bag did not last two months in that regard (see pictures). Clearly poorly designed and badly manufactured. For the price this is worse than you would get from an unbranded product. I had a Northface bag that lasted 8 years without failure in this regard, and a Lowepro rucksack that has lasted for 15 years.With regard to the 30 year guarantee, I can no longer return to Amazon, and after finally finding the email to for UK returns find I have to send it to Poland at my own expense, including paying for customs which is too complex to work out, and then have it repaired, or a new one sent back. Since I have no confidence in having a new one because this is a design and material issue, I can't say I am looking forward to either option. If given a new one I would sell it on Ebay, except I have a conscience for the person I would be selling it to. Eastpak, do better!Functionally, if you want an open unstructured bag with a laptop sleeve. It's great, but disposable after a month or two.

Good bargain for my daughter a level confy and plenty of space

Fantantic quality. Matches the description of the item. Not the cheapest but great value for money.
