A must have if you’re in the market. Well built (in my opinion) and I love the top wide handle easy to carry and move around one handed. Wheels are rollerblade wheels. Very smooth. Fits in any overhead carry on any flight even a commuter flight
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2025Size: One SizeColor: True NavyVerified PurchaseThis athletic looking backpack is exceptional! Extremely sturdy , well made, good pockets and rolled easily through airport . I especially appreciated that the handle was made to be long enough so I could wheel in upright position .

- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2024Size: One SizeColor: Silver HeatherVerified PurchaseMy old backpack, which was this exact model, survived for well over 10 years, and faced a lot of abuse. It probably made 100 trips, always as my carry-on, sometimes overloaded and roll down a sidewalk, sometimes carried. Finally, one of the straps started to give. I replaced it with this. It’s the exact same model, so all that stuff still applies. It fits a surprising amount, all of the pockets are very easy to use, and the middle pocket has a little pouch on top. That’s great for carrying things you might need to grab in the middle of a flight or the middle of a drive or something. it’s incredibly well put together, zippers are terrific, and the fabric seems to be indestructible. You can carry it like a backpack, or you can put the straps so that they are tucked in in the back and out of the way. The handle extends up really high, much higher than other backpacks. That’s perfect for the airport. I’m 6 foot one, and I find a lot of handles on luggage could use another three or 4 inch. This one is actually long enough! I couldn’t recommend this more highly!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2011****** Edited to update durability after 17 months of heavy usage*****
Just want to say I'm nearing the end of my 2 years of constant semesters. This thing is still going strong. I still wish the inside pockets were roomier, but the wheels have stayed strong, not loose (they do have some wear that is, fraying along the edges). The handle screws were tightened by my husband at least once during this time. The straps are still firmly sewed on, and the color has stayed bright all over, no fading or patching showing.
This bag may well be handed down to my nephew or niece for their college time. Still a fair value for the price. Good luck to you all.

**********************************************************************
I purchased this bookbag for myself when I went back to college this summer. I'm now using it for my fall semester, and it shows virtually no wear even though I roll it over cement, asphalt, bumps, stairs etc. I've had several days of rain and the contents inside stayed dry & secure. Important not only for my papers but for my electronic items inside.
I had read several reviews both praising and deriding this model's wheels as well as the room it provided. After having it for myself, I can understand why some have issues with them both.
To clarify, it is roomy, multiple pockets, varying sizes, and even a convenient water bottle (or in my case, travel coffee mug) holder. However the main area to hold my college books often feels smushed when I have my large, heavy books in there for classes that day. I can fit anywhere from 4 small to med sized books and 2 notebooks in there, to only 2 large books and 2 small notebooks in there, plus the other pockets for small items like pens, pencils, hand cleaner, ipod, phone, snacks, mini umbrella, flash drives, essay folders, chewing gum, baby powder, chapstick and the list could go on & on... it is roomy, just.. some of the larger course books take up all the space in the main pocket.
The wheels are a medium large size. They roll easily over small to medium twigs, and just angle the pull for pulling up steps & edges of sidewalks its fine. Hit gravel though, and you can roll through most of it, but can find some of the larger gravel getting caught up & having it drag. I've started carrying it through the gravel which isn't ideal, since I mentioned the really large & heavy books I'm currently using this semester.
Its a fair value. No doubt about it I've gotten my money's worth out of it and could use it another semester, perhaps 2 more. However, I'm going to be pricing & comparing sizes, I'm expecting more courses next semester meaning more books to fit in there.
One drawback that may just be for me, but the spot on the bookbag for your earphones to connect to your ipod inside the case is inconveniently placed when pulling my bookbag. It's fine if you carrying it over your shoulders, but thats not me. So its a hindrance & an irritation for that one piece.
The handle seems flimsy, but has been solid, no loose screws etc. Had the husband doublecheck it all when bought and end of first semester, nothing to tighten.
Overall, this is a great bookbag to have to swap out with another one if you have alot of books or larger books to carry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best travel backpack/ carryon ever
Size: One SizeColor: BlackVerified PurchaseI recently purchased this High Sierra Travel Backpack, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. This bag is a complete travel solution, packed with features for all your storage needs. The main compartment is spacious enough to fit clothes for a 4 to 5 days trip easily. There’s also a dedicated laptop pocket, which is a big plus for those who need to work on the go. The front zipper pocket comes with multiple small compartments, perfect for organizing pens, papers, and other essentials. Plus it has wheels which is so handy.
I used this backpack during my recent trip to Italy as carry on, and it exceeded my expectations. I packed it full, unsure if it could handle the load, but it performed beautifully. The bag held up well and was incredibly convenient. I’m thrilled with my purchase, especially since I got it on sale. If you’re looking for a reliable travel bag that doubles as a laptop backpack, this is the one. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best travel companion .
Size: One SizeColor: BlackVerified PurchaseI've used this product for 10 yrs now . Bought the second recently. And it's one of the best travel bag I must say . It's handy in the airports .. as it's a trolley and backpack . Especially with kids . I manage to carry 2 days cloths aswell just in case the checkin goes missing . It's sturdy and the pull up backpack handle is a very good option as it helps in hurried aircraft exits and if we need to climb up to the aircraft etc..
It's priced a bit high . But the quality is very good. Also want to make a note . Please bring out more colours and sell it in retail s as the traveller s are increasing . Worth the buy!
