Retreat Backpack

It is a great bag

I bought this backpack for day trips. There's room enough for everything I need for a day trip or overnight. The deep purple color I chose is exactly how it appeared online. I plan to buy another (maybe different style/color) in future, and maybe a sternum strap, too. I prefer carrying it by the short handle on top or over one shoulder. I'm a senior on the move.

The Retreat backpack was not a good choice. The closing mechanism is not practical, the "Easy U-pull drawcord closure" is anything but easy to deal with. The drawstring clasp is hard cumbersome to deal with, you would need three hands to unlock it to have the string running into it. The metal eyelet fell with last then two months of backpack usage. The internal space is amazing, but the lack of compartments makes it impossible to find something small, like a key or wallet, when you are in a rush. Overall, I wouldn't tell my friends to buy it. Not worth.

the best quality

It’s a large book bag which I like and was going for but there are no inside compartments for pens and the extra side storage space is not its own space. If anything goes into that side pocket it falls into the laptop space.

My son-in-law loves his new backpack! He can fit his laptop in it along with many other things! It is great to use as a carryon! Excellent quality!

Laptop side pocket is too small to comfortably use, even with my 13. 5 inch laptop. Also more segmented sections would be nice vs just one big pocket

Awesome bag. The black logo really makes for a clean look.

This is my EDC bag for work and I love it. I did add some compartment in the inside.

I purchased the bag for my son and he loves it just as much as I did. Plus the color represents his college school colors.

I really liked the backpack, specially cause it’s rain proof. I think the size is just right, not to big, not to small. It was a nice surprise to find the pocket on top, that’s really helpful for handy stuff like keys or wallet.

The best bag that I have owned so far!

I wish it had better inner organization.

Great quality! Got this as a gift for my husband and he loved it!
