An awesome all-round and spacious backpack
de Jordy, Blue Tomato Shop Amsterdam, Blue Tomato, 15 janv. 2024
Hi, I am Jordy and I like skating. When I was looking for a new backpack, I went for the Billabong Combat backpack. This backpack had all the features that I was looking for: a laptop compartment, a way to carry a skateboard and a special side pocket for a water bottle.
I primarily use the backpack to go to school with and for grocery shopping, and every time I use it, I get surprised by how much fits inside the large main compartment. The bulky zipper that opens the entire front of the backpack is super nice, as it really helps you fill this thing to the brim! The backpack has plenty of smaller compartments to keep your stuff organized. The water bottle holder is deep and snug, so your bottle will stay in there without worry of it falling out. The laptop compartment is meant for laptops that are 15.6 inch. My laptop is just a little bigger, so the special compartment is just too small. But this is no problem, as there is another compartment next to the one for the laptop in which my laptop fits just fine. The backpack feels very sturdy and strong and has not shown any signs of wear after 3 months of use. There are only 2 downsides to the backpack that I would improve. The padded shoulder straps start a little bit too low, so sometimes the straps fold at the top making it uncomfortable to wear. The other improvement is the skateboard carry, I wish the backpack came with two buckles on the front to carry your skateboard with. Now you are supposed to carry your board between you and the backpack. This isn’t the most comfortable thing, and the grip tape might dirty or damage your clothes.
I would recommend this backpack to people that are looking for a good all-round backpack with plenty of space. But if you want your backpack to be able to carry your skateboard too, you might want to look for another backpack that does this a little better.
