Amazon kills the game with the price!
I actually bought another classic style looking Jansport (Superbreak) backpack after using my old one for about 5 years (steal price too); then, I found out that AmazonBasics actually has a backpack?!
It comes wrapped and boxed up—really good, simple presentation. The AmazonBasics bag looks more like a Herschel Supply Co Pop Quiz backpack, but since I have a new Jansport, might as well compare. The dimensions on the Amazon bag feel a bit more stiff and maluable maybe because of all its compartments—there are so many different compartments and zippers for various electronics, pencils, laptops, hell even water bottles. That's just inside the main pocket too; the front pocket has similar dimensions to the Jansport and works well with minor objects.
The AmazonBasics bag has pockets on the side!!! I think that is an awesome feature that can be used for water bottles as well(there's one one each side). It's a neat moderate sized backpack and honestly kills Herschel's Pop Quiz and Jansport's Superbreak mainly because of the huge price difference.
Probably going to update this as I am not too sure how long lasting this bag is.
