Comments: Bought this for stick n shoots, pond hockey, and coaching ice hockey. Skates fit well and it has enough room for My helmet, gloves, change of clothes, and other odds and ends. Great to throw and keep in the trunk. Worth the 20 on sale. However, as others said seams have issues. The liner/hidden pocket ripped along with The zipper after first use. It is flimsy in a lot of areas. Glad I can use a needle and thread.

Comments: I seriously love this backpack!! It's HUGE. fits all my gear and my helmet inside, and my skates are very secure on the outside. I prefer this bag to my Red Reed. The weight is distributed well, so even with a lot of stuff in it, it doesn't feel heavy. I also like the shoe compartment on the bottom. I can use it to put whatever gross in it and it doesn't get everything else dirty. After about 8 months of HARD use, 2 of the seams , have come apart, but it doesn't make the bag unuseable. I just bought a second one to use while I get this one reparied. I wouldn't have minded paying $10-15 more for a bag with better seams and zippers.

Comments: I think that for 69 bucks it is not worth it, but for 20 it is such a deal! Quality was better than expected and it holds the skates just fine, it has a lot of pockets and spaces for all your stuff. It even has a secret compartment so I definitely recommend you watching their video on this backpack so you can find all.

Comments: Really nice bag. One of the zippers came jammed and I legit can't unzip it but that's fine. I was looking for a bag with a skate holding system and this one looked great for the price. Plenty of space and not overly ugly. Get it while it's $20!

Comments: Cheaply made backpack. Most of my seems and straps broke or started ripping after a few non-heavy uses. Would not recommend.
