Herschel Settlement Backpack, Ash Rose, Classic 23.0L

Someone recommended this to me as a gift for my Dad that was in search of a new backpack. I ordered it and has so far in just a few weeks and 2 trips held up and been perfect. It fits a lot and is durable. It is on the larger side of a backpack but perfect for a quick day trip or overnight stay. He is enjoying it.

I love that this backpack is not bulky like a typical backpack, and that it doesn't slouch when you put it down. The tropical hibiscus backpack is the 23L size, and the navy one is mid-volume 17L size. The laptop in the last photo is a 13" macbook pro for size reference. The midvolume may not look like it's much smaller in the photos, however, it definitely is since the depth is smaller than the 23L one. It's a good size for going to school/work when you just need a couple things in there. However, I have several pouches I need for work - money pouch, adapters, hard drives, water bottle, snacks, etc - so the 23L is a better size. This zippers are sturdy and durable, and just overall a solid backpack!

I searched for the longest to find this exact backpack that I saw on TV and it was worth it! I get so many compliments on it.

Great for school! I went to college as a freshman this year and I've been using this backpack. It's not super big, so I can easily fit a laptop and a few journals with it to walk to classes without feeling like I brought too much with me! The zippers get a little bit stuck sometimes, and I've definitely scraped myself a good amount on them because of how heavy duty the zippers are, but it's great beyond that! I got this product from the Amazon warehouse, and it was said to be in less than perfect condition, but it looked new when I got it!

This is a really great bag. I'd done some research on Herschel's different backpacks and a website said this one was the sturdier of them and even expanded when fully packed. When I first opened it I was greeted with the striped lining and very firm build so it didn't collapse on itself. I'll admit I was skeptical how something so firm could fit a lot but it does. I was able to put my coat in it with my other stuff in it. Now I'm a believer. It seems to resist rain well. (I've only been in rain once with it since getting it) My only complaint is it doesn't have a side pocket or two for a bottle but otherwise great. I've read that the zippers will go out after some time, if that happens, I'll add to this review. So far they seem to be robust but surprisingly smooth for their hardness. Sometimes if you fill it with mostly flat things it won't stand up perfectly on its own but that's a minor issue. If you're looking for something durable, simple, fits a lot of stuff, and stylish, this may be the bag for you! Make sure to get the regular size (not mid volume) if you're a student or need a lot of space for a laptop and books/binders. I got the mid volume and am returning it because it's too small. Kind of a waste for about the same price for so little space that only a 4th grader and younger could use.

Fast delivery by seller, am very happy with that. This backpack was purchased as a gift and it suits the recipient just fine as a smaller pack for use for commuting to her first job. Quality appears to be above average, there weren't any loose threads, the fabric is stiff/sturdy, zippers appear to be robust and work smoothly, and this model comes with a unique interior lining vs. the unfinished interiors of most every other backpack on the market. Overall it's a quality backpack.

My backpack arrived today and I really love it. It is the perfect medium sized backpack for travel and school that I have been looking for. I tend to carry things based on how much space I have, so I was looking for a backpack that would be large enough to carry essentials but also small enough to deter me from over packing --- and this bag does just that.I got the Black, which is a nice vivid black. The zip feels super strong, like really strong - i think it will last a really long time.It is also really chic and stylish.Overall great purchase and I would recommend it.

Not for students with large books or binders. This is for a novel and a 1” binder. Not for middle school or higher, not for bigger than a tiny laptop. Well made, great piece. I’m happy with quality but a poor choice for school. Not for students. Not for overnights. It is tiny. Bigger than a purse backpack but holds very little.

Fave bag

The back pack is a little small but fits everything it needs and is a solid back pack. She loves it

La compré en oferta y fue una buena compra. Tal como en la foto y descripción. Súper resistente y muy adecuada para el trabajo. Llevo mi lap y demás artículos sin problema. El forro es muy lindo, también.

Great material, been using this bag for 2+ years and it's still great. Only thing to note is getting any white/grey liquids or dye on the bag is very visible.

Nice bag, well built, worth the price and delivery was quick
