The Aspen Sport Notebook Backpack has a beautiful appearance and can take well in the hand. The padded shoulder straps are comfortable and give a good impression. The zippers look with value and are easy to open and close, and that can be a bit fiddly at large main compartment by the overlap of the zipper with nylon material. For protection against the ingress of rain water should be good. The accumulation of various inside pockets allows a tidy filling the backpack, on the front flat compartment. There you can hang several pen, attach a set of keys and a wallet, for example, and a small notebook of each sorting separately. In the main part as DIN-A4 writing pads find their place. The Notebook case can be opened from the side and sufficient for my 15-inch notebook, but 17 inches are likely no longer fit into it. However, the notebook must be diagonally inserted and rotated, so is not as easy as with other backpacks with top-load. The compartment contains a piece of foam to which the notebook is placed so that minor impacts can be absorbed by the parking of the backpack. Conclusion: For the price an absolutely practical and fashionable backpack with zips and good-quality processing. I would buy it to me again.
