Barska Loaded Gear GX-500 Crossover Utility Backpack

Liked the sporty color and very durable. Made tough for tough work

Bought this one for my daughter to use in school. Chose this because it has both the chest and abdominal strap which helps relieve the weight on the shoulders. My daughter loved her Jansport backpack but because she carries a lot school supplies (binders, books, chromebook, luncbox) inside the bag, she was complaining of shoulder and back pain. This bag can fit a lot although the Jansport can fit more due to the thinner and less stiff fabric material (plus bag shape). Overall, my daughter feels more comfortable after a day of lugging her backpack around school.

Rugged material, plenty of compartments to fit all kinds of items, and buckles to keep it tight and adjust where you need. The velcro areas are perfect for customization. The only downside I can think of, is it doesn't have a side pocket for a drink, you simply have to place it inside the bag.

Great sized backpack. I use it for a day pack and go kit. Not too large just right. For the price there arte obviously bigger bags but they will be more expensive. I would reckoned this for some looking for an bag to use as a go bag, gym bag, day trip bag, or even commuting bag. Good for tactical uses and entertaining uses.

I love being able to tighten down the main compartment, great for electronics and for balancing floppy loads (like clothes!).

Terrible !!! Please stay away from purchasing this backpack, the design is flawed and the zipper to close the larger area broke due to zipper getting caught on a a piece of the backpack material that overlaps the zippers. Waste of money
