Rothco Vintage Canvas Weekender Backpack

I bought this because it looks really nice, and I've had a few people mention how much they like it.

The straps are really wide and comfortable, they don't dig in and I barely even notice the straps while wearing it.

There is lots of room so it can hold a lot of stuff.

Sadly those are just about it for my Pros column.

Because of the material my shirt *constantly* rides up in the back. I feel like I'm reaching back every 30 seconds to pull my shirt back down so its a huge annoyance to me, but if you don't mind it then go for it.

While all the buckles and such look nice they can be annoying and time consuming to do and undo. Not a deal breaker but if you're in a big rush its a little inconvenient.

The adjustment buckles on the straps are VERY loose and never hold the straps tightly enough to keep them at a desired length. Walking in general will cause the straps to lengthen rather quickly, and never at the speed for each strap. And I lost count on how many times I would accidently touch/brush or even just look at the buckle and cause the strap to suddenly lengthen by inches.

Because the main compartment is so large it can be uncomfortable to carry certain things, like school books. The books would constantly lean back, causing the pack to lean back too, and if the book is small enough it will just fall over completely and lay flat, which can be just as annoying. The drawstring just wasn't efficient enough to keep things close.

So in the end, I wouldn't suggest this backpack for everyday school use. If you like going camping and want to use it for clothes or something, that would be good.

Huge, comfy, perfect. The straps do not dig into your back like other bags without padding can. I use it for college and it holds all of my books, supplies, water bottle, and extra crap too. I had all of this in my old, regular back and it felt like it weighed a millon pounds. This bag makes it feel like all I have is a couple of notebooks or something. Also, my old backpack barely lasted a year of college with visible wear/tear after a month. This bag is has gone through more abuse than my old one ever did and looks brand new. Only problem I've found is that it makes your shirt ride up a bit, but that's to be expected of the material. Worth it for the durability. Definitely recommend.
