ASTRO BIG BANG BACKPACK (DLXV)

That velour sunglasses compartment is such a thoughtful touch—my shades fit snugly without a scratch. The faux leather feels surprisingly sturdy for the price, and the ergonomic straps make it easy to carry even when it's packed full.

The side pockets are perfect for shoving a water bottle or umbrella in without digging around, and the front zipper pocket handles my daily odds and ends. The faux leather feels surprisingly sturdy, not cheap at all. It's become my go-to for the commute.

The front zipper pocket swallows my phone, keys, and wallet without bulging, and the side pockets actually fit a water bottle snugly. I've worn it through a rainy commute and the faux leather wiped clean in seconds, which was my biggest worry before buying.
