HotStyle 936Plus Aesthetic Casual Daypack Multipurpose Backpack, Medium Size, 16 Litres

I am blown away by the quality of this backpack. I have had it now for 3 years as I bought it back in 2017, when the Hot Style logo was still on the front pocket. It seems they have removed that logo since.The bag has no external rips (other than holes I poked for pins), smooth zipper teeth, and very little wear and tear for its age. All of the original supper pull tabs have fallen off, but it's whatever to me. A zipper is a zipper. One of the zippers did break off as well from me trying to force it closed when it was overfilled so it was my fault, but the others have held up just fine. I used this backpack for 2 consecutive years as my primary school bag, but it's retired now to more of a travel bag as I wanted a smaller one for school.I have worn this bag in rain, shine, and hail, thrown it in dirt, tossed it across the room by accident, and shoved 15 lbs of textbooks in it at one time. The only time I had an issue was in heavy rain. The top part of the bag is water resistant, though in a down pour water will begin to seep through a little bit. The bottom, however, is not that water resistant and if you have it in a super wet spot, water will get in. Not enough to ruin notebooks, but enough to cause a bit of water damage to them. I wouldn't consider this enough to take off a star but it's something to be aware of. Remember, it's water resistant not waterproof.The storage of this backpack is absolutely giant. As aforementioned, I have shoved 15 lbs of textbooks in here, which is on average 3-4 textbooks. Despite that I still had room for some notebooks, a pencil case, and a novel. The straps are nicely padded so bringing the textbooks home obviously put strain on my back from the weight, but the straps didn't dig into my shoulders. The laptop pocket is also nicely padded and all of my tech that's been haphazardly thrown in there has never been hurt from the other things in my bag. Also, only one of the 3 mesh pouches has torn! I'm usually awful at keeping mesh things nice, but these have held up extremely well. The only reason the one inside water bottle pouch broke was because I shoved an umbrella in there. So kudos to them for making a mesh I couldn't easily break!Tl;dr This backpack is amazingly durable. While it can let some water in with a heavy downfall (water resistant, not water proof), it holds up to pretty much anything you throw at it! After 3 years, it's going as strong as day 1.

At first, I didn't want to purchase this bag because it was constantly out of stock, and the black model I liked was never in stock. Eventually, I came back to this back in lieu of others I'd browsed through (and I am a perfectionist when it comes to buying products online) because it has so many damn pockets. You can practically fit several little worlds in here for all the slots and compartments in here, honestly. The inside has a nicely padded sleeve and it fits my 13.3 in pavilion with room to spare. I've abandoned the lovely laptop sleeve bag I bought for it. There's two mesh cup holders on both sides of the inside of this backpack and there's two slots to store things like your phone or chargers along with two pencil holder things. The entire main compartment of the backpack is pretty roomy too. I've been able to hold all my college essentials in there without problems. A water bottle and a mini umbrella in each of the cupholders, my laptop, a textbook, several 1 subject spiral notebooks, little books for class, and a planner. There's also a mesh small sleeve pocket in the main compartment I use to hold my journal and some chargers. The final outer pocket holds my wristlet and other pursy supplies with room to spare. Oh and there's another pocket on the back side of the bag, but I don't really use it.Honestly this backpack is pretty cheap for how nice it is. The fabric feels sturdy and I am confident it will hold up. The leather at the bottom is a nice touch and I really just love this bag. So happy I waited to get it in black.

Great backpack at an amazing price. Plenty of zippers and compartments for storage of various school items; pens pencils post it’s flash cards etc etc. Fantastic amount of space in the backpack, I’m able to carry all my material for two classes, and it’s not heavy or bulky whatsoever.The only thing I think that deserves improvement is the front zipper pouch, which is pretty small and the flap above the zipper itself makes it rather hard to pack things in without fiddling a bit.Overall, this is probably the best backpack I’ve ever owned; it’s light, durable, has a great look, and is very efficient and at such an amazing price. You really can’t go wrong with this backpack. 5 stars VERY well earned.

I bought this for my son in his 4th year. The bag lasted him until his 6th year. Good quality backpack!! He did complain that the cup holders were inside the bag which caused it to get his notebooks and papers wet… Overall this is a great backpack and can store a decent amount of supplies.

Yes it has a lot of pockets!! Even a hidden pocket on the outside right behind your back. I have a iPhone plus and it fits perfectly in there. Great for traveling and very durable too!! It was way worth my $48. I'm so glad it has sooooo many pockets inside where I can fit all of my items for school and art supplies. They have really out done it this time. It's simple on the outside but perfect on the inside. One down is that the water bottle pockets are too small but they can fit travel size shampoo, hairspray, toothbrush, to go co tactical lense solution bottles and many more. I even use it as a traveling backpack. Plus the straps are very comfy. I'm done with school and my sister wants my backpack, but I can't let go of it. It's super handy.
