UPDATE 2: Five months in of daily use (Feb 11, 2021) and still as good as new. They also lowered the price (at least on the black one, the others are still pricier) back to a reasonable place so I will be ordering a second one. At roughly the $30 mark, this bag is a steal, it you're going into the $50 dollar range like some of the other colors, you can probably find better value elsewhere.
UPDATE: Three months in (Dec 14th, 2020), still holding up beautifully. The backpack is as rugged and durable as it looks. A quick note based on a review I read. The bag comes shrink wrapped for protection, so it'll take some use before it fills out fully and looks just like the pics. However, mine now looks JUST like the pic.
I actually went to buy a second one and I've noticed they raised the price by roughly 33% since I grabbed mine. That's disappointing and is a massive price hike in such a short period, however, it doesn't affect my rating of the product itself.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I searched for a while before I bought this. I wanted something I could cycle with that had a lot of space. There are MANY similar backpacks on Amazon. I'm assuming the pattern has been taken by many different Chinese manufacturers and copied and recopied with varying levels of quality. I spent days reading reviews, especially as I wanted to make sure I got one with good zippers as this bag will be getting a lot of use.
Though this review doesn't speak to the longevity of the product as I've only been using it for a week, I can say that at this point, I am VERY happy with it. It is quite large and holds everything I need. The material seems very durable and the zippers are quality. It also has multiple compartments for organization.
This particular backpack also had something that many others didn't, a thicker waist belt in order to take the weight off the shoulders. The waist belt also has two small pockets for wallet, keys, gum, etc. It also has a smaller chest strap to keep the shoulder straps in place.
I couldn't really be happier with it right now. If things change, I will update the review.
Oh, and it came with a couple of bonuses that aren't listed in the description. Aside from the water bottle pouch listed, it also comes with a little drawstring pouch. Also, it came with an odd little credit card shaped multitool. I'm not sure how useful it is, but hey, it was free.
