I purchased 2 of these backpacks for my sons in elementary school which requires clear backpacks. I selected this particular style because I thought it would last longer with the fabric bottom and back. At first, I was very pleased since the plastic seemed so much thicker than packs we've had in the past. However, the first week they used them, the plastic cracked wherever it was bent. Soon those cracks led to tears. I used packing tape to help patch the holes, but new ones just arrived at the edge of the tape. We didn't have these packs one month before they totally fell apart and the boys' school things fell all over the ground. My oldest son is in 3rd grade, so he carries books home daily. My youngest son is in kindergarten. All he brings home are worksheets in a folder. Both bags cracked and tore. It didn't matter how much weight was in the pack. I wouldn't recommend these bags.

I've bought about 6 of these over the last 3 years. My sons usually manage to get about 1/2 school year out of one. I haven't seen anything from any manufacturer that I thought would hold up any better, so I just order a few here and there. They're made pretty well, and the PVC is quite thick. The problem is that NO clear material is made to be used in this kind of way. Plastic is the only option, and it will always be weak in this application.

The other review said theirs cracked and tore in a week. I wonder if that was in a cold climate? I'm in FL, so it's never cold enough to make the plastic very stiff. Maybe that's why I get acceptable life out of one?

Until the paranoid idiots that run our school systems realize that nonsensical reactionary measures like clear or mesh backpacks don't do anything at all other than inconvenience us, I think we're stuck buying these things!!
