Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the products for their excellent quality, durability, and practical design, especially highlighting the well-thought-out compartments and ample space in the backpacks. Many consumers are repeat buyers, emphasizing their satisfaction with the overall service and the premium feel of the items. The delivery service is frequently described as fast, hassle-free, and efficient, with good communication throughout the process. However, some customers experienced issues with their orders, such as missing items or incorrect shipments, and a few noted problems with delivery times being longer than expected. There were also occasional concerns about product defects, like bags ripping or straps falling off, and a small number of people felt that the quality of certain items, like new shirt designs or specific backpack features, did not meet their expectations or previous standards.

Hi Matthew, we appreciate your feedback and sincerely apologize for the issue with the stock for the hoodie you've ordered. We wanted for you to receive the rest of the order as soon as possible, so the refund for the hoodie was processed first. If you need any further assistance with the rest of your order, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Falling apart after a year…

I’ve had my bag for just over 2 years and have been really happy with it for the most part… however, it’s marketed as being very durable and tough, but the shoulder straps are pretty fragile under a heavily loaded bag. As a coach, I put water bottles in the bag, my tablet, extra clothes, shoes, etc. and under what I consider to be a typical load for me, I noticed the strays starting to wear at the seems after about a year. I’ve had basic bags from Nike and The North Face and other brands over the years that have lasted twice as long without this kind of wear… and those bags were significantly cheaper.

I would urge everyone to really evaluate whether or not the cost is worth it based on your activity level. If you’re looking for a bag to last you many years (3-5) I’d suggest looking at other options. If you’re looking for a really cool bag and don’t care about longevity, then it’s a really great choice. If this bag had lasted me another two years without falling apart at the shoulders, I would’ve given it a 5 star review for sure.

I pre-ordered a product that was out of stock, and it was shipped earlier than expected. I was able to track the package every step of the way until it arrived. The product is excellent, with great craftsmanship and design."
