Eastsport Unisex Eclipse 19" Core Backpack, Soft Floral

This is a great pack for light loads. It is a very good value. I used it as my carry on and it fits easily under the seat in front of me. It has three outer zipper pockets for electronics, ID, and will even hold my large headphones to use inflight. It has two water bottle holders that are actually deep enough ( 8 inches) to keep the bottles secure. There's also inner pockets to keep things organized. I say light loads because there's not a lot of padding on the shoulder straps or handle but I was looking for something inexpensive and light weight. The zippers are standard fare but have nice easy pull tabs attached.

For the price I paid, this backpack is exactly what I was looking for. It's built with durable materials, has plenty of well-placed pockets, and the zippers are high quality and securely sewn in. The padding on the back makes it comfortable to carry without straining my back, and the shoulder straps are fully padded as well, which helps a lot when wearing it for longer periods. The only drawback I've noticed is with the two mesh drink holders on the sides. They aren't made as well as the rest of the bag and developed small tears after just a couple of months of use. If those were reinforced or made with stronger material, this backpack would be perfect.
