GEARONIC TM Backpack Rucksack Knapsack Reviews Summary

Build Quality

Pros:

• "I couldn't believe how well made it is! It looks more expensive than it is."
• "It's sturdy, rugged, if you will."
• "It's comfortable to wear, seems durable, and looks good."
• "The material is very strong, soft to the touch and very durable."
• "The bag is very sturdy with thick canvas fabric and robust zippers."
• "It is made of heavy duty canvas and has real leather accents."
• "The canvas is very durable. You would never know that the trim was not real leather; it is far superior to the PU leather out there."

Cons:

• "The seams started unravel, and the color does not match the picture, which was obviously color enhanced."
• "The leather straps are made out of PU leather... I feel like these straps are the weakest part of an otherwise very durable bag and would be the first thing to break on this bag after a lot of use."
• "Drawstring is held together by thread I'll have to replace that with a leather drawstring that costs more than the bag itself. Extremely poor quality in stitching all around."
• "Lasted about a year and then had the following issues: 1. Zipper on the inside pocket broke. 2. Nylon fabric inside tore 3. Zipper on outside pocket broke."
• "The leather zipper pull strings are very weak and one of them broke on me after a day of use."
• "A button on my bag broke off the very first time I used it."
• "The buckles with which you can properly close the upper part can be removed and popped back easily... the leather strap with which you can tighten the rope holding the upper entry of the bag also disintegrates."

Comfort and Size

Pros:

• "All in all, this bag served me well and I intend to keep it for light use or travel."
• "Shoulder straps are great and comfortable."
• "Comfortable to wear and can handle a lot more inside then looks to be held."
• "Its really comfortable, and I love its rustic style."
• "The straps didn't dig into my shoulders as I thought they might and the backpack also didn’t flop around as I walked, it remained conformed to my body."
• "The comfy shoulder straps make it feel like you don't have much on your back."
• "I am happy to report that it is extremely comfortable."

Cons:

• "The straps are also really uncomfortable and hurt my shoulders a lot. Great bag but not comfy at all!"
• "The bag was too small for laptop, headphones (over head) external drives, etc."
• "I just wish it had a little bit more water resistance to it because I ride the city bus and I’m always outside on the move."
• "It turned out to be too small for his purposes (he carries a LOT of stuff)."
• "The shoulder straps are hard to adjust on the fly."
• "The shoulder straps are pretty close together so it rides up on my shoulders toward my neck a bit and can get uncomfortable."
• "I just wish it was bigger, and I can't fit everything I need in the bag for school."

Design and Appearance

Pros:

• "The color is just as it appeared on-line and makes for a very attractive bag."
• "Hard to believe it was only $28."
• "Love the vintage vibe off this bag and the pockets."
• "Looks unique and vintage but not to a ridiculous 'trying too hard' extent."
• "I love the classic look of this bag and it really works with most casual outfits if that’s a concern."
• "It looks just like it does in the pictures and everything is well advertised."
• "From the aged looking leather straps to the pull tie with a leather guide, the backpack is ideal for that casual, outdoorsy look."

Cons:

• "The material doesn't look like in the picture, but am still extremely happy with it."
• "The only reason I am giving it a 3 stars it’s because of the color. It is NOT YELLOW."
• "The bag looks pretty close to the pictures above I purchased it in the color green."
• "Bag durability seems to be good. But a total turn off for me was that this bag does not look at all like the main product image looks like."
• "This backpack seems like good quality, but the color is SO off."
• "The bag looks more green then brown, I got it for school since it matches my aesthetic but when it came I was very disappointed because I don’t like the color green."
• "The color I ordered wasn't the color I received."

Functionality and Features

Pros:

• "This backpack is bigger than what I imagined."
• "It's comfortable to wear, seems durable, and looks good."
• "The pockets are nice and big and easily accessible."
• "It holds a lot more than you would think by looking at it."
• "Plenty of pockets to keep small stuff separated."
• "The pack is the right size, good durability, easy to use and organize."
• "It has plenty of outside and internal compartments for all those items you want to locate and access quickly and keep safe."

Cons:

• "One of the inside zipper pockets hangs over the laptop sleeve, so I have to flip it up and out of the way to put the laptop in. That's kind of annoying."
• "I don’t use the internal pouches very much simply because, once full, it proves difficult to dig down inside for smaller items."
• "The SLEEVE inside is too small for a smaller lap top... however, I can fit my laptop in the center and plan on using a separate sleeve."
• "If you have the main pouch packed with clothes, you can't fit much in the various pockets."
• "The two outside side pockets are unusable because the zipper is too small for any human hand to fit in."
• "Not enough storage pockets on outside, plus needs zippers to close existing pockets."
• "The pockets on the side for water bottles will fit a 20oz bottle, but since they have zippers on the side pockets, you cannot fit much bigger than that for ex: a tumbler."
