Shopper : Is it water resistant?JENNIFER T : No.I don't think so.THERESA S : Yes, it is the most durable back pack that our girls have ever bought.

Very nice bag

Beautiful bag. Very roomy, with lots of pockets to organize. Not too big not too small. I'm only 5' 2" and it looks good on me.

Go for it!

The backpack was perfect and shipped/delivered very quickly. It was way less expensive than most other retailers. I was hesitant to buy at first because of the discounted price but it exceeded my expectations! If you’re hesitating buying from Sunny Sports, don’t!!

Great laptop backpack

This is my return to a backpack after a decade of carrying messenger bags. I was getting tired of the neck strain and restriction of a cross-body laptop bag with a fairly heavy laptop, power block, etc - and decided to give this backpack a try. On my first day carrying it, I felt 1000% more comfortable carrying my computer and couldn't believe I waited this long to switch! This bag has very comfortable straps, is very adjustable, has chest and waist straps (but the waist strap can be "hidden" if you're not using it). There is great internal organization for small items. The laptop section is well-padded and I carry my computer without an additional sleeve; but at the same time, it is not so padded that the bag is too bulky for other uses. I plan to make this my primary travel bag as well. I am very happy with this purchase.

Just what I expected!!

This backpack is perfect for my needs when traveling and for day trips. The size is perfect for a woman. I am 5'3" and it is very comfortable to wear. Shopping with Sunny Sports was a favorable experience. The backpack came in 3 days and was exactly as pictured. The price was also better than on other online sites. I will definitely purchase again from Sunny Spots.

In love with a backpack!

Love this backpack! Very versatile. Perfect for University and Day Hikes! Only wish is that there would be a strap to secure my laptop in position, however it fits snuggly. Very pleased with the quick service from SunnySports. Would recommend both.
