Backpack is cute, and seemed to be very well made. Backpack material was sturdy-feeling. I loved that it had 2 outer pockets, combined they were just the right size for his 'pocket items'.Notice the WAS. Unfortunately, the zipper came off one of the tracks today (10-11-11). School started 9-7-11, so it only lasted about 6 weeks. The rest of the backpack is still in great shape. We tried to pry open the zipper piece to put it back on it's track, but a small amount of pressure on the zipper and it snapped apart permanently. The ends of the track were completely sewn into the body of the backpack, so it was impossible to separate the track from the backpack (so we could put the zipper back on track and retack the track to the body of the pack). So the backpack is useless now...we're off to order a Lands End backpack like I wanted to do in the first place, before I gave in to Pokemon fever from my 6 year old. Perhaps this is just a fluke, or perhaps he pulled really hard?? Not sure, but Lands End will warranty it for life if this happens, and we have no recourse on a no-name product.
