Customer Reviews Dakine Jewel Backpack

I ordered this backpack for my 11 year old daughter, and it's fantastic. Fits her 5'1" frame, is stylish, and has awesome functionality. I expect it to last as long as her previous mail-order company pack (since 1st grade)!

I looked at many backpacks before choosing this one. I used it on a trip for carry on luggage, it was a perfect choice. There is plenty of room in the two big compartments and just enough pockets to carry things you want to have quick access to without too many pockets that you can't remember where you stored things.

The quality is excellent but the space is very small. The back zippered section doesn't zip all the way around only on one side making it hard to place anything bulky inside. It does have lots of spacious pockets on the outside but the inside is lacking of space.

I ordered this bag in Lolani. I have been on the hunt to replace my old backpack. I saw a classmate from my Anatomy class with this backpack with the blue plaid and I really liked it especially it being a top load zip (my old backpack was a flap load zip...a major pain) and the various neat compartments. I really like this. It repels water and great strategic compartments. I love Zappos to death.

Purchased for my 11 year old. She loves it-the pattern, it is comfortable and very roomy. As a family we gravitate to Dakine backpacks and they have served us well

Great color. Looks even better in person. Excellent pockets. All are big enough and one on bottom front is insulated. Best backpack I ever had. Great for school.

I absolutely love it! It is the perfect size for a couple books, a notebook and my netbook. My only complaint is that it does not stand up on its own.

This backpack is very roomy. My large binder fits great. It is really pretty and looks like good quality, very durable workmanship. It is not overly large, but is just right. Thanks Zappos!

The picture on the website does not do it justice. It looks a lot cuter in person. Does not fit pens in the top pocket very well.

I love the colors of this bag! I am loving my new backpack. I replaced my old backpack with this one and I am in love. The only thing I hate is the sunglasses pocket material. Weird material. I thought it would be fluffy like the video showed it to be.

I really like this bag for a couple of reasons: 1 matches my snowboarding bag, 2 the computer area is really padded and will fit all sizes! 3 the cooler part (first zip section), 4 the cozy fur pouches in the bag, perfect for sunglasses and iPhone to not get scratched, 5 the water bottle holders on the side, which will fit the standard. The down side of the bag is that it only holds 2 textbooks and a notebook (depending on how big it is, small can hold a couple). and that is tall...like weird tall. But the back is really padded and will be good for a carry on bag on trips because you can fit a lot of stuff in it due to its height. Overall I would say get it because it's well made and the computer area is awesome - the best I've ever seen!

I love this backpack. I use it for school and traveling. My only complaint would be that it doesn't fit my pens very well in the organization pocket. Other than that I love it!

It was between this, incase, The North Face and like 5 other brands. I couldn't make up my mind but what sold me was the fact that the Dakine company was founded in Haiku Maui, which is where I'm moving in 3 days! So I'm like, all right I gotta go with Dakine. I just got it in the mail. It's a little larger than I had envisioned but it's so practical and has so many compartments for everything I'll need, especially my laptop and iPod and such. It's all black but the little designs add a uniqueness I love! I'll update once I try it out!

Great backpack. Perfect for carrying a laptop and plenty of textbooks, even though it does get a little cramped. Love all the pockets and color of the bag, looks just like the picture! Would definitely recommend. :)

I ordered this backpack because I was having a difficult time finding a cute backpack style laptop bag. I have a 15.6 laptop and it is a perfect fit. It would work for a larger notebook as well I believe. The storage and organization in this bag is comparable to other backpacks, but it has a more fun feminine look. I am thrilled with my purchase!

I am not a student, however, this backpack was an excellent purchase. Mostly I bought it for my go-to carry-on, and beach bag so all of the organizer pockets, the cooler pocket, the easy out laptop compartment are all so useful. Also I like the soft, plushy pockets for sunglasses, iPhone, and iPod. I was back and forth with a few of the Dakine styles, and it was down to this or the Prom style. Ultimately I chose this one because of the dual zippers on most of the openings (something when I'm in/out of a bag a lot I really find helpful), and the color choice. Loves: 1) I really love the funky Victorian design as well as the cool lining. For a variety of reasons, it's just very "me". 2) Great quality, really appreciate all of the padding & the laptop compartment is also useful for stowing a wet suit or towel separate from your other gear. 3) It's plenty big, in my opinion. 4) The straps are very sturdy and pretty comfortable Slight miss: 1) The cross strap isn't something I'll use much and it just sort of dangles in my way. So happy I finally bought it, the price was more than I cared to spend on my back pack, but this is a real bag and really just what I was wanting.

Great pack. I wanted something to hold tons of heavy books and my 15" MacBook pro. It works beautifully. I love the large drink holders (2) on the sides and the insulated front compartment for food is awesome. The sunglasses pocket on top is very handy, too! The only design change I would incorporate is to put air flow channeling on the back (since I live in hot Texas).

I received my Jewel Dakine and I didn't like it so much so I exchanged it for the Eve Dakine. The only thing I liked about this backpack was the separated compartment for the laptop, it's very cushiony! What I didn't like about this backpack was that it was too long of height. I would not recommend it to petite girls because it will look huge on, it even look big on me and I'm 5'5. If you are like me and likes to carry a lot of school supplies like pencils, pens, etc., then this is not the backpack for you because the compartment for pencils is too small. But overall it does look nice!

The Dakine Jewel is a really cute backpack. It would be great for any high school girl looking to have something different from everyone else. It's a good size, it easily fits all of my books. On the downside it is a little uncomfortable on your shoulders. For me, that's not really a big deal. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

This bag is amazing! And gorgeous! It has pockets everywhere and most of them are padded (one is insulated!). Definitely worth every penny!

It is kind of big. Still has a lot of room on top after you add a notebook, etc. Cute design. My daughter who is 12 years old, loves it.

I bought this bag for my girlfriend as a Christmas present. It looks great, but it was not practical for her and it was too small. She is a nursing student and carries around a couple of textbooks and a big binder. That stuff wouldn't fit in this bag. The laptop sleeve takes up significant space in the main compartment. I'd get this bag if I wanted to look cool, carried around a laptop, and a couple of books. If you carry lots of stuff and I would recommend something bigger. I have a smaller Dakine bag for myself, but I only carry around water bottles (reusable) and my lunch, and maybe a book here and there.

I ordered this New Year’s Eve and I just got it, I'm so happy. First time I ordered from Zappos and it won't be the last!!! I love this bag. The only thing I kinda have a problem with is one of the zipper parts only opens half way, like that’s the way it’s made I guess. It’s where you can put your laptop; I wish it would open all the way, but it is soo cute. I’m a 35 yr. old college student, I wanted something fun, but not too young looking, and I can't wait to use this bag!!! I also ordered a Jansport bag as well. The big student bag which I love, too!!! I love Zappos you have a customer for life. :-)

My 15 year old loves it. Thus far it has proved to be sturdier than other brands we've purchased. Her computer fits in there nicely and plenty of room to use as an overnight bag or all her high school supplies/books.

I got this in the zebra print. It's great because it has a hint of detail without being obvious/tacky. The bag is perfect size. If you're only carrying a few books, it will seem big, but if you have a lot of books and a laptop you'll enjoy being able to carry everything around in this bag. Overall, great backpack!
