I bought this bag back in May of 2026. I have brought it with me all across Europe from Munich - Salzburg - Vienna - Bratislava - and Budapest, no issues what so ever. It was carried around all day everyday and crushed into small compartments whether that was under a bus seat or on a plane. Every other bag I have owned would not have survived even close, not to mention it still looked BRAND NEW when I got back. Since then I have used this bag for my Junior year of high school, it is carrying around at least 30lbs everyday all day so far we are almost a month and a half into the school year, and it still works and looks great! 10/10 would recommend to anyone, though it is a bit pricey, but its well worth it, you might actually save money in the long run from not having to buy other bags.
