Big and comfortable
"This waterproof bag is perfect as my work bag. The laptop sleeve isnt tight, so I could shove other paper in as well. My lunch and extra clothes all fit. And both pockets are deep enough for the Yeti Rambler bottles."

Not weather resistant
"No doubt it’s a good backpack with nice finishing and also looks really nice for work/commute use. But here’s where I had problem: I have atleast 2hr commute to the city for work. And so I truly needed something weather resistant. If you scroll down you’ll see the description say “Weather Resistant- Built from experience, tested by weather. Our Weather Resistant bags are engineered with modern feature sets, angular accents and a waterproof, matte TPE coating. ” This sounded perfect for me as I really needed something waterproof to protect my device and paperwork’s I need to keep in hand everyday. Here’s my experience so far in these 17days: From day one if you’re in the habit of putting your bag on the floor or god forbid a bench in the park you’ll see immediate dust streaks. Yes they come off easy, but it gets really old day after day. It was not a huge deal breaker for me so I still kept the backpack, patted down the dust or wiped with little water to get it off. Fast forward, today was the first time I experienced rain that came out of nowhere and kept pouring all day long. I didn’t have a choice so had to be out in the rain for about an hour or so. Since it was advertised as waterproof, I was under impression that Atleast my backpack would be dry. But guess what, the whole bottom inside the bag is wet. The laptop was fine, but inside the laptop compartment was wet, and the papers got wet at the bottom. It was same in the outside pocket as well. I don’t keep any other liquids in there, and the water bottle is outside - so you can guess what happened. Im sad now because I actually liked the bag, buts definitely not waterproof"
disjointed
"I've only been using it a short time and it's already starting to come apart at the seams. I'd like to exchange it or request a refund. Thank you very much."
Love it!
"I needed a new commuter bag for the train/bus - something to carry my lunch, laptop and daily essentials. This bag has been a great upgrade as it’s small but has space for everything without feeling crammed. The waterproof feature is great too - no need to worry about anything getting wet when it’s raining. Highly recommend this bag for everyday carry."
If only
"I really like the bag and material, if only it was smaller, I will probably use it for traveling, not my daily use."
My New Workbag
"Perfect for me as a Nurse. Carries what I need without feeling too heavy or bulky. Weather resistant is needed since I have to park almost a km away from the hospital. Holder on side fit a large owala bottle easily."

"good quality"
Bag for rain in a city
"Perfect bagpack while city dwelling on the rain. Love, love, love."
I have been using this
"I have been using this Herschel’s Alberni backpack for a couple of weeks now and I’m loving it so far. It is simple yet stylish, rightly sized but spacious and the materials are of good quality. I have not used it in the rain, but I’m pretty sure it can handle light splashes on it. The only challenged I had is when zipping it open or close, as the flap that covers the main zippers can get on the way of it. My only wish list is to have thicker cushion on the straps to be the best “comfylicious” when carrying heavy contents. Overall Highly Recommended."
Practical and stylish backpack
"I love the design and colour of this backpack! It's very spacious and fits my work laptop, lunch and water bottle with practical pockets for all my smaller items too. The best feature is that it's weather resistant - perfect for rainy days. The straps could be a bit more comfortable, particularly for when the bag is heavier."
