Better than nothing?
Prior to purchasing this backpack, I searched reviews, the majority were by people that were given the product, and that in itself left me a little apprehensive. I received the backpack and put it on, no matter how I adjusted the straps they rubbed my neck. The straps are sewn too close together and would have left me in considerable pain. I am returning the bag.

Perfect fit and classy looks
We had been looking for a luggage set to fit a GT convertible (with limited space) that could also be used for air travel. After looking at hundreds of variations and price points we chose the Better than Basic Backpack to go with matching a Pro Spinner and duffel bag. It was perfect! The color, size, price and classy looks were a perfect fit. Extremely happy we got them, couldn't have done any better regardless of price point.

Love this backpack!
Back and strap padding makes it super comfortable to wear. Lots of room even though it looks like a slim backpack. Love the elastic in the laptop/tablet section to keep the devices off the ground when I set it down. Zips smoothly. Wish the water bottle pockets allowed for wider bottles but it has enough give in the strap part of the pocket to accommodate my larger bottles.

Solid Daily Driver That Gets the Job Done
A few weeks in with this Samsonite backpack, and I’m already confident this was the right choice. Sometimes you can tell quality from day one, and this bag has that reassuring feel that suggests it’ll age well. **Build Quality You Can Feel Immediately** Right out of the box, the construction quality is obvious. The zippers are what sold me—they’re hefty, smooth, and inspire confidence every time I use them. No cheap plastic feel or worry about them failing under pressure. The overall build feels substantial without being bulky, like they actually thought about how this would hold up to real daily use. **Minimalism That Works** This bag nails the balance between simple and functional. No overwhelming array of pockets or gimmicky features—just smart, clean organization that makes sense. The main compartment handles my laptop and daily essentials with room to spare, while the thoughtful interior layout keeps everything where I can actually find it. It’s refreshing to have a bag that doesn’t try to be everything to everyone. **Perfect for Daily Life** Even in these first few weeks, it’s proven itself as an ideal daily carry. Whether I’m heading to work, running errands, or transitioning between activities, it handles everything I throw at it without feeling overstuffed or awkward. The clean design looks professional enough for business settings but relaxed enough for everyday use. **Early Verdict** While I can’t speak to long-term durability yet, everything about this backpack suggests it’s built to last. The quality materials, solid construction, and thoughtful design have me optimistic this will be a reliable companion for years to come. Sometimes you just know when you’ve found a winner. Would recommend to: Anyone wanting a well-made, no-nonsense daily backpack Would not recommend to: Those needing specialized features or maximum storage

The best backpack
I gifted this backpack to my husband for his birthday and he liked it a lot. This bag is very lightweight and has enough room to fit in most of your stuff. This can be use as work bag and for traveling purposes. Also, the material and color both are really great. It has the correct website description about everything.

Sleek, compact, and sturdy
Purchased as a gift for my boyfriend and he loves it. Wanted something low profile with good zippers and I trust Samsonite zippers since I use luggage from them for all of my own travel.
