Carhartt Legacy Standard Work Backpack with Padded Laptop Sleeve and Tablet Storage, Navy, Medium

Its a bit small for my preferences. My old backpack had four pockets instead of three and I kept so much stuff in it. I needed to cut down my inventory a bit to fit it all in here. In my old backpack I kept the following: a pencil case full of writing utensils, a set pan watercolors, a calculator, a toothbrush, a travel first aid kit, a bag of ibuprofen, a bus schedule, a survival guide booklet, two small plastic lizards, a phone, a wallet, a swiss army knife, a small rope, a magnifying glass, two spools of thread and a needle, feminine hygiene products, a large sketchbook, a novel, an ipad mini, a water bottle, an apple and or a granola bar, and all of my notebooks, textbooks, and binders for school. I had to cut down to everything that was absolutely necessary for me. I made it work. It feels and looks great. Ive had it for about a month now and its held up perfectly so far (as to be expected). The tablet and laptop pockets are nice as well. I dont have a laptop yet but it seems like it will work well. The side pockets are sturdy and big enough to hold my 1000ml water bottle snugly. Like I said, its a bit small for me but I like to keep a lot of crap in my backpack. For a normal human who doesnt carry two small plastic lizards and a set of watercolors with them constantly, it should work fine.

This backpack is so well made and can last so long

I ordered this for my husband got Christmas but let him open it early. He travels for work and need a large durable bag to pack different things in and this is perfect! Got here just in time and he has plenty of room to pack everything he needs to take with him. Perfect quality!

Stylish and good amount of space. It is a tiny bit small depending what you carry. Overall solid purchase

Great bag but noticed bad stitching in 4 different places.

Im a senior in high school whose last backpack got shredded over only a year, and wanted something that would last me well into college. I think Ive totally found it. I LOVE this backpack. Its so compact and lightweight, I had no idea how much strain I was putting on my back and shoulders until I started using this backpack. It hardly feels like Im carrying anything at all! Its the perfect size for me. Ive been caught in the pouring rain several times with it on, and the rain just rolls right off, leaving everything almost perfectly dry (a bit damp, but nothing bothersome or problematic, and no moisture actually gets inside). The insides surprisingly stretchy, when I do have to shove more things in than usual, they fit with a bit of squeezing. Ive noticed no wear or fraying in the last handful of months, and its performing just as perfectly as day one. I expect this backpack to last me a long long time. 10/10 recommend to any student!

Rugged. I find that it carries my computer (15 inch Dell), paper files, field books, phones, warm extra clothes, tupperwared food, etc. for my workday. Vey comfortable to wear. I have to walk from a parking lot to my job trailer (1 mile) and this pack carries every thing I need for the day. Being in construction it is stylish too. Echoing other reviews it would be better if the outer zipped pockets had two zippers. The water proof bottom is a great feature and if you pack it right with a bulky item in the bottom it will stand upright when you set it down and not flop over. The side mesh pockets are big enough to hold a 30 oz Atlin mug and on the the other side a safety glass case and folding umbrella. I do believe it would make a good day pack for bushwhacking in the wild on your days off.

Plenty of room built well it says water resistant but I bought some kiwi spay and added an extra layer of waterproofing. Well worth the price

My husband has been using this bag for work travel for a couple months now. He uses it daily and stuff a lot in the pockets and the zippers have held up great!

This backpack was worth every cent. My son started using this in January of his 7th grade year (2017). I was so sick of buying backpacks that wouldn’t hold up to ‘destruct-o boy’. This weekend May 29, 2022 that boy has graduated high school and the backpack is still in nice shape. He says he’s taking it to college. Carhartt, you done good with this one!
