Customer Reviews High Sierra XBT - Wheeled Backpack

My daughter (14 yo) LOVES this wheeled backpack. She walks from our house to school (25 min) everyday, in all the elements (wind, rain, soon-to-be snow) and so far, it's been pefect. Plus, she wheels it over road construction, potholes and uneven sidewalks, and again, perfect. There are lots of great compartments for all her school stuff -- notebooks, pencils, phone, and even a good spot of her laptop! The other day, she went shopping w/ a friend afterschool and wore the backpack through the crowds. She actually said it was comfortable! (She is 105lbs and 5'2")Given the price, I was skeptical, but it's turned out to be a wonderful purchase.

This is my second identical backpack. The first lasted 9 years of every day use, haling it back and forth to work and travel.. Eventually a wheel was failing, the handle would not collapse, and it had several tears in the fabric that neve got bigger. It had an awesome, durable life. I was extremely happy to see it was still for sale with no changes or "updates" to the design. I highly recommend this laptop bag.

Love this backpack! Have had one for years and really put it to the test for travel! Recently bought my second one, retiring first one from travel to use for work.

We went on a trip and our tour director had one. We always bring a backpack but not on wheels also backpack has a strap not a padded handle like this one has. They strap always cut into my hand while getting on the plane. I think we are going to like this bag.

Nice size for a 2-3 day stay and a small laptop computer.

It has plenty of space to place what we need in it and is light weight

I like this backpack and it is big enough to hold all the school materials. But it doesn't have as many pockets and compartments as the Access 2 backpack which would help.

The bag is an eye-catching red and the quality is fantastic. I would definitely purchase again.

It is designed to be used for general purposes and will be my "Go Pack"for business trips. It is very sturdy and made with durable material. Best of all, it is not ugly black! I am looking forward to MANY YEARS of quality usage.

Solid rolling backpack, smart design, presents well on arrival

I bought this 2 months ago because I had used the earlier version of this wheeled backpack for 6 years and it had been invaluable. I had to replace the earlier version because the telescoping handle stopped reliably extending and retracting, but I think this was because I was carrying it by its telescoping handle and it had still lasted a long time under heavy use. The new version has a separate, heavily reinforced handle for carrying the wheeled backpack when navigating stairs or other awkward spaces, which really helps and should protect the telescoping handle. This wheeled backpack is, literally, my mobile office when traveling between 5 different schools. The wheels are whisper quiet and my work laptop is well protected. So far, this new version is even better than the last one and I'm confident that it will last well for at least another 6 years.

Built just as well as my first of these that I have had for 4 years. There have been some upgrades and changes, all of which make the bag even better.

I had a similar High Sierra wheeled backpack I received as a gift years ago and I wanted something a little bit bigger with more pockets! This is the best as I can wear it as a backpack and wheel around as a carry on! Fits great on the overhead storage on planes. The best of both worlds! Love it!

Heavy duty Not my first time and will not be the last

I bought this to my son, he brake his right arm and he is happy with it.

I'm a Pool Nurse. I travel to 8 different hospitals, which means I need to take all my stuff with me because I don't have a locker I can leave it in like nurses who work exclusively on one unit of one hospital. I needed a bag bigger than the traditional school bag. I appreciate having a lot of pockets, although I'm unsure what to use the ones on the sides for with the L shaped zipperI kind of wish those were actually soft, elasticized "cups" to hold plastic or metal water bottles. I would actually make better use of that "space" on the bag if there had been water bottle holder there.

Great back pack! Lots of storage for my daughter's school books and the wheels are rugged.

found it on the web while searching for wheeled backpacks

Used this bag for equipment for a week-long workshop. It travelled well in baggage, and rolls easily around the airport!

Great weekend bag for driving or flying.

I teach fitness classes and have to haul my gear. I also teach classroom setting type of classes as well and need to haul briefcase type of stuff. I also used it as a carryon for my travel. Perfect fit and so easy to maneuver around the airport. I love the fact that it is top loading and you do not have to lay it down to access your things. The fact that it rolls on wheels was what sealed the deal for me. Just love, love, love it!

Took on a trip. very particle and easy to carry

Just the right size for me. I am an older but well built woman. I can wheel this baby while tripping through airports or town or through it on my back for stairs. Perfect for flights
