Shocked twice!!
Bag seemed good online and in person. Quality was great, faux leather was legit, and have been using at UPS for about 4 weeks to no flaw. My only gripe is I walked into TJ MAXX a few weeks later and found the same bag literally half price off (pictured above). Is one more authentic than the other; I don’t know because I didn’t have my Amazon one but felt similar. Anyways just go to TJ MAXX, save some money. Wish they price matched because this is NOT a complaint about quality of the product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice backpack!

I bought this as an outdoor backpack for trips, overnight stays, and for walking my dog. I don't light sitting my bad down and the bottom getting wet because sometimes I leave towels and extra shirts in there, socks, etc. This worked out well for that. I wouldn't say it's waterproof, but the leather bottom does not absorb water and it's a nice backup. I would also use it for school or general backpack needs. It's a quality product.

Great product. Well made, the size is perfect for my needs, very comfortable shoulder straps for carrying around and good looking. This has always been my go-to brand when my children were in JHS, HS and college and the company has never disappointed me or my pocketbook in any way. Very satisfied.

Impressively well made for the price. I got this to replace a USA made Jansport that was over 20 years old; and while this replacement doesn't have real leather, it does have sturdy construction and materials and nice compartments for my laptop, books, pens, chargers, etc. I shopped around a lot for a new everyday backpack, and I don't think a better one is out there.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I wanted but arrived damaged
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2019
Verified Purchase
I took away one star because the backpack arrived with a faulty zipper on the medium outside pocket. It wouldn't unzip, and then I saw that it looks like someone else tried to force the zipper and broke the tab on the zipper pull. Amazon needs a better system for returns of damaged items so they don't get sent out again. I requested a replacement and it said it will arrive tomorrow, so I am not too bothered by the delay, but will have to take it to return it.
However, the backpack is just what I wanted. It looks very nice and sturdy, the leather bottom looks nice and not too fake. I like the structure, it looks a little taller and not as deep ad my husband's 20 year old standard jansport. It doesn't look like it will expand outward as much, I like that, I don't want it to stick out too far and have everything fall to the bottom. It's very nice looking, hopefully the replacement will won't have any problems.

This backpack has tons of space. I have a pretty large laptop and it was actually able to fit in the laptop slot, which was not possible with my previous backpack (I had to carry it in the main compartment instead). I also love the color. It probably sounds stupid, but I picked it specifically to match a Boba Fett Funko Pop keychain that I got a few weeks before (I actually needed the backpack but this is what made me choose green and brown) and they look pretty good together. I hang it from one of the zippers on the main compartment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing! But under protective
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2019

The straps are somewhat stiff and hard to adjust and the laptop pouch is too thin to be protective, I would recommend an additional laptop case to store your laptop in! Otherwise this is an amazing durable backpack that had lasted me well through my first semester of college. Highly recommend

Great bag. The zipper tore on my son’s last bag so we needed a new one in a hurry. This bag arrived in one day, was large enough to hold his binder and books, and seems to be durable enough to last thru next year.

Es la segunda mochila City View que he comprado, es una mochila muy espaciosa, ligera, tiene más espacio del que se puede creer y cumple muy bien su función Ange cualquier situacion, no se cuartea gracias al material de Jansport, en la lluvia repele muy bien, aunque si es lluvia muy fuerte se filtrará
Satisfecho

Edit 3 años después: Es una mochila aguantadora, le cabe casi todo, excelente opción incluso para ir a la oficina
Con el uso la piel se ha dañado, y los brazos se han sumido un poco pero nada más allá
