Customer Reviews L.L.Bean 42 L Comfort Carry Portable Locker

This was a Christmas present for my 17 year old grandson. He'd had his previous LL Bean backpack for 8 years; it was time for new one that will probably last him through college!

I bought this backpack for nursing school. It has everything I need and then some. It's huge! Fits all of my books and has a perfect place for my laptop. Would recommend this backpack for anyone needing a big bag.

Teen son loves this backpack. The only problem is the llbean logo on the front peeled off after just a few months of daily use. Otherwise highly recommend this backpack for an older teen in high school who doesn't like to use a locker.

My daughter started middle school this year and wanted a bigger backpack to hold all of her fear. The school she attends doesn't have student lockers. This seemed to fit the bill. At first she was hesitant, but after a few weeks she told me that she "loves her backpack". So there you have it. The color choices were fun too.

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.

Perfect backpack for my high schooler. Quality and style both.

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.

The pack is bigger than my old one and is very roomy. I expect it to be very durable.

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.

Love it! Only complaint is: no monogramming option. Have not bought a new L.L.Bean backpack in awhile and the old one, this size, had that option. I LOVE monogramming on ALL your bags.

Usual LL Bean quality. This was a gift to replace her 20 year old LL Bean backpack. New color, new style. She absolutely loved it and I'm very pleased with how it's made!

Great bag for LOTS of stuff! This replaces a bag that I have used for the last ten years. I searched for a long time to find one that would do the job and this did it. Thanks!

This replaced an old LL Bean school backpack, and it is much more useful for (non-school) functions now, letting me carry work materials (laptop/notebook space) apart from sundries/toiletries, and random stuff all at the same time.

Very large backpack with plenty of room to carry all my dance wear plus my books.

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.

I bought this to replace my Timbuk bag and I love it.

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.

Awesome backpack for school! Previous bag lasted about 7 years, hoping for the same!!!

Fits everything! Easy to carry, comfortable, and has lots of pockets.

Great bag! Super comfortable and holds everything we need it too! As a homeschooler we take a lot of books all over the place and this bag allows everything to be organized, easily grabable, and super comfy to carry.

My 16 yr old son beamed when I brought home this replacement for his previous pack which had ripped through the bortom- The locker fits all the day's books, lunch and sports gear with a sturdy bottom and supportive straps- definitely a step up from his previous pack- thanks!

My grandson got this to carry all of his coursework for college after finally wearing out another LL Bean backpack he'd had since middle school. He loves it, and it carries his big water bottle too.

Spacious and sturdy! Great quality. My daughter loves it.

Seems like a good sturdy knapsack with plenty of space and pockets

Has space for everything and vey well organized. Bought this for child in high school that has lots of books and supplies to carry.
