Athena Backpack - Blue Mist

I am disappointed with this backpack, it is not even half a year old and it is already torn at the edges. Moreover, it ruined my skirt because of the straps for the mat, while these straps are absolutely useless. If you want to put both trainers and mat, it is impossible, because the straps are too short. Moreover, I don't go hiking, I'm a student who has a macbook 13" and a couple of notebooks in my bag. And it's ruined as if I put 10kg in it. It is not worth its money at all, I now doubt the quality of other things, although I like the design very much. I am disappointed that the thing can not be quality and beautiful even for such money.

I love this backpack, but I am SAD because the backpack has scuffed and now the material has scratched off?? So sad considering it’s a bit pricey for me. The backpack straps are comfy and pockets are great

I love this backpack!! I wish I could rate it 3.5 stars. I bought it for trekking through the Amazon rainforest specifically because it's reflective. Great day backpack, fairly comfortable with lots of pockets. Beautiful.
I wish it had more padding on the shoulders and back, even just for people caring textbooks to class. I also wish it was coated with something or made from a different material so that it wasn't so delicate & flakey. Travel bags need to be washable & sturdy, even if it's just traveling on the bus!

I love this backpack and use it for travel- only issue I’m running into is there it stains super easily. I’m not sure if others have had issues with the backpack getting so dirty, and I’m not sure how to go about cleaning it which is why I’m rating it 4 stars instead of 5. Maybe it’s not meant to be used for traveling all the time like I do…but it is super spacious and has convenient pockets everywhere. I hope I can find a way to get rid of these stains!

I love this backpack, the only issue i’m having is that it actually can look very awkward wearing it when there’s not many items inside? it sort of sags and the flap rides up. But other than that i love it!

Overview: I love the overall design and color choice for this backpack. I am 5'3 tall and the size of this backpack works really well for my body frame. The magic flash color is amazing! At first I thought it was gray when I pulled it out of the bag, but once the light and the sunlight hits it comes to life. And I've gotten several compliments on this backpack since receiving it a couple weeks ago.

Pros: The number of pockets is amazing on this backpack! It has a really good bottom compartment which has been really helpful to take lunch for work. If I have the right size container. The straps have been cushiony and very comfortable. I recently used this as a purse/ diaper bag for a recent family vacation and the weight of the backpack distributed really well to where the straps were still cushioned on my shoulders and wasn't heavy at all. The number of water bottle holders is really helpful and having them on both sides on the outside and two on the inside is very convenient, especially if you are a mom who has to carry multiple things with you. I've used this backpack for work as well and it's been great for carrying two laptops on some days that I need to. And I really enjoyed the velcro strap that holds the laptops in place.

Cons: I love that there are pockets on the outer facing part of the backpack. But the magnets are somewhat inconsistently sturdy. It would be helpful if the magnet was a little bit more secure in holding down the flap and if the pockets were a little bit taller. For the laptop interior holder, If it was just a little bit taller, that would be helpful for keeping the computer from falling forward when the backpack is set upright. I didn't mind the top drawstring for closing the backpack at first. However, I have noticed that throughout the time that you're carrying the backpack it does loosen up as you move. And would prefer a zipper closure or magnetic closure instead to keep things extra secure at the top. Especially since the top of the backpack also has a flap that buckles forward. One of the more disappointing factors of the backpack was that after using it for traveling/ as a diaper bag/ for work in less than 3 weeks, if the backpack bumped up against something, the fabric would scrape off and there was no way to fix this and it's really obvious where parts of the backpack were bumped into or hit against something from natural movement because the color is gone. I'm not sure if this is because of the magic flash color in comparison to the other solid colors. But I am really sad that this happened because the color and the flashiness of the backpack really make it very versatile while also eye-catching.

Overall, I really liked this backpack. My husband even carried this backpack and felt comfortable with it as well. It's been great for both work and for travel and carrying a ton of stuff without it weighing you down. The only downside was a couple of minor things here and there, including The color being impacted by normal wear and tear.
