We decided with our 12 year old son for a Satch plus backpack, because on the one hand, it offers a lot of space in several compartments and on the other hand also designed so that it relieves the back. Since our son is in the 7th grade and always lots of books, notebooks and other school supplies "lug" needs, we have the "plus" version with 34l of storage chosen (instead of the normal 30L Satch model). The shipping was very fast and without problems. For functionality, appearance and suppliers we can only give full credit and to recommend the Satch backpack warmly!
