I wanted something a little unconventional that'stylish and practical. It looks nice and feels quite premium and ultimately it is a backpack I recommend. However, I do have some minor gripes. The front component has some sleeves that are not big enough to fit a folder or binder (which is a little bit annoying for a student as it reduces backpack practicality. Additionally, some of the zips do and can come off after pulling the bag shut tightly (see photo). Primarily, I chose this bag for it's uniqueness and it ticks those boxes brilliantly and I really like the name Maverick Explorer. However, I would like to have had the chance to experiment with and try the Skyler Trendsetter model if looking for something more for a student.
