Customer Reviews Herschel Supply Co. Pop Quiz

Sturdy, reliable bag, but with one complaint - the zippers are difficult to quickly access because they are hidden under the fabric. It's probably great for longer trips but I was looking for a commute-type bag, so I need something to quickly get train tickets, etc, in and out of. contemplating returning to buy a different style. Otherwise though - great structure, well-made, and has personality.

Imagine sitting in a classroom; the professor begins lecturing while you fiddle with the zippers of your backpack in an attempt to get it open so you can extract your laptop. You curse at Herschel Supply Co. and the 37 previous customer reviewers of the "Pop Quiz" on Zappos: how could they possibly have got it so wrong? Why is each of the two larger zippers covered with a flap of very stiff fabric that makes it frustratingly difficult and awkward to open? Admittedly, once you've got the pack open, the laptop sleeve is sweet: well padded, a nice fit for a 15" macbook pro with retina. But of the 5 different laptop backpacks (5 different brands) I ordered from Zappos, this one was the least functional; I expected so much more for this price (and got so much more with the other packs). Zappos rocks - it's almost unsettling to have find a box at my front door 28 hours after I've ordered something - but this backpack doesn't.

This bag looks great. It's functionality is pretty good but after only a few weeks the it has already shown signs of wear with small tears beginning in multiple spots.

Bought this exactly a year ago. It's a nice bag but the zippers are very poor quality are are not smooth at all. The front zipper began to fray after only a few months and has now completely detached. Waste of money as I now need to buy another backpack.
