This is the PERFECT bag for high schoolers (or college students). My son’s high school does not have lockers, so students carry all of their belongings all day. Finding a bag large and sturdy enough for this is a challenge, but this one is PERFECT!

I’ve only been using this backpack since July 2021.. it is October 2021 now. One of the straps is already ripping from its seam. I’m quite disappointed as LLBean products have always been better quality than this. I used this backpack for my work commute. The size was amazing and I loved all the pockets. But I expected the material to last A LOT longer than this. I will be returning it to my LLBean store.

My son carries to school a Chromebook, lunch, 32oz water, binders, notebooks, and other electronic necessities that total 24 pounds every day. Three weeks into the new school year, one shoulder strap and one side of the pull handle at the top started to fray. My son carried a slightly lighter load before the pandemic year in the Super Deluxe Bookpack, which he had used for 3 years, and it held up fine. We got the Comfort Carry Portable Locker Pack for the capacity, but did not anticipate the handles to go so prematurely! This quality is so unlike what I expect from L.L. Bean. Kids nowadays, at least in our area, carry laptops to school, which add a significant extra weight to their bags. This needs to be considered when designing kids backpacks. At the very least, the seam at the top should be much stronger!

This backpack has not held up to my middle schooler. The backpack is falling apart and separating at the seams. I will be returning this.

This is a great backpack as far as organization and capacity, but the stitching attaching the handle to the backpack is low quality. My daughter is a high school student that used the backpack for less than one semester and the handle nearly detached from the backpack. The stitching quality is not in line with the capacity/weight of the backpack. See photos. I would have expected a little better quality construction.

The two zipper pack I had in junior high was way smaller than I remembered! A wonderful LL Bean associate helped me pick this pack out. It’s perfect for work (active duty Navy and packs must be black or matching camo). I have a large 3″ ring zippered binder, a Rite n the Rain planner and clipboard and I still have room. The shoulder straps are padded and I’m able to evenly distribute the weight on my hips and shoulders. Great buy and worth the money.

I have not bought it after playing around with it on the flagship store floor. It can’t stay upright, which, for me, is mandatory in a pack designed to be frequently opened and closed while taking things out and putting them back in. Even after releasing the side straps and sort of puffing out the compartment spaces, it refused to stand upright. In contrast, the Super Deluxe III stayed completely upright when I did the same. The Super Deluxe also has a superior arrangement for pencils, pens, and other desk work accessories. I much prefer the look of the Portable Locker, and I like the chest support straps, but the darn thing is too tippy.

Attractive color combinations. Functional design and features, but missing key fob, clip or hook to hang the keys inside the bag. Versatile travel backpack. Handle loop on the top. Extra foam padding and breathable mesh straps for added comfort and support. Padded laptop compartment and organizer panel with multiple zippered pockets. Sternum strap and tuck-away waist belt. Stretchy water bottle pockets on the sides. Reflective trim for 360-degree visibility. Reinforced, sturdy bottom and well-stitched seams. Roomy storage capacity and organized design. Great quality smooth-running zippers. Mineral Gray/Asphalt.

Very sturdy and quality material. Middle school student uses it to carry her school stuff. The straps ripped off her other bag from the weight. Hoping this one can handle the heavy load better. She says it feels a lot better on her back than the other one did.

For starters I don’t usually do reviews but I figured I’d help someone out with some pictures.
I have been in college for a year and previously had a backpack that had a 30L capacity. Unfortunately my program operates with many textbooks and they aren’t huge fans of electronic use so we do end up carrying more textbooks than maybe the average person. I have been so fed up, jamming my laptop and textbooks into my backpack for a year. I had things so tight that I was concerned about hurting my laptop even in the laptop sleeve.
Long story short, this backpack has plenty of space. It feels comfortable on your back, straps feel strong, quality of material as of now seems excellent.
My only gripe, is that if your like me any you love lots of little pockets and things for organizing supplies in the front little pocket, I feel like this pack lacks a bit in that area, I wish there were more opportunities to make my favorite pencils and pens easier access, but it’s really no problem.
Hopefully the pictures I have provided help you see how spacious it is. Definitely worth your money.

I bought this bag for my daughter and she loves the laptop space. She says it is one of the most comfortable bags to wear with a full load of books.

Last year my 10th grader needed a camping-style backpack to fit all of his stuff and it was super bulky. This year he switched to the LL Bean comfort carry bag and he loves it. Just enough separate space for laptop, binder, etc and the capacity is huge without looking like he’s headed to the mountains for a week.

Well made large backpack perfect for my college student

I bought this to use as a personal item when travelling. It is perfect for stashing under the seat and is perfect for a couple day trip by itself. This would make a perfect backpack for a high school or college student. Typical LL Bean quality, large capacity, great color, comfortable to wear.

My 6th grader loves this new backpack. Super roomy for all his books and binders

Great backpack with many pockets. Great for carry on an airplane

Purchased for my great niece who seems to destroy back packs. This one is holding up well and she loves the color.

I am an adult and this is the best backpack I have ever owned. I have purchased many llbean backpacks over the years and this one is by far the best. I have owned it for about 4 years now. I use it to go to work (school librarian), I use it to travel as it is great as a second carry on option. It works when just barely full and it works when it is filled to the brim. It has tons of pockets and spaces that are actually useful for what they are intended for. Love love love this backpack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Purchased for my mother-in-law who is a nurse. Perfect size to carry the items she needs on a daily basis in a much more ergo-friendly manner than the messenger style pack that was previously in use.

Backpack is perfect for work travel and airline carry on. Plenty of space for laptop and lots of pockets for passport, glasses, carry on items and your cross body purse! Perfect for work & travel.
Ally –
So many compartments and plenty of room! Great for longer trips.
Julia –
I bought this 3 years ago & my HS sophomore has used this as her locker everyday. She loads it up, tosses into the trunk, on the floor etc. I’m amazed it has survived the treatment & held together well. Laptop sleeve, many inner pockets, sturdy zippers, water bottle pockets & strong straps. Heavy duty. Also used it on school trips across country & Iceland. Purchasing another for her junior year & beyond.

Good quality backpack that is expandable enough to cover a long weekend trip (cloths, toiletries, laptop or tablet, etc.), but also adjustable to not be too bulky for daily usage.
