Great for travelling!
This roll top backpack is perfect for travelling! There's ample space (I managed to fit my laptop, DSLR camera, purse, and some clothes, and there is still so much space) for a bag that actually doesn't look massive and I'm quite petite.There are a lot of pockets and zips for storage, and the front has a rubber zipper which makes it waterproof, as is the whole bag. I'm not sure why the front zip opens up into the main bag though, it doesn't really have easy access as the buckle is in the way of it fully opening anyway. For the odd bits and pieces at the bottom of the bag though, I guess it's okay. I was a little disappointed with the colour as I love yellow, but this is more of a dirty gold colour instead of mustard.The reasons for 4 stars?The price of £68 is a little off-putting. It's a great rucksack, but it is expensive - you might be able to justify it if you do a lot of travelling though, and want a high-quality bag. This will be perfect when I go back to the Lake District, but not for my everyday use (although, I may use this if I ever have to pop into the office - I WFH). The buckle also makes a lot of noise when you move around (as do the zips but they are a bit more bearable), which in my opinion you don't want if you're walking for a long time, the sound will get annoying. I would have liked a separate zip compartment on the front instead of opening up into the main bag too. Then you can put all the small things you might need access to like lip balm, suntan lotion, keys, gum etc.A high-quality rucksack nonetheless, I would recommend it if it ticks all the boxes you need it for.

Looks great and nice quality
This bag is really fantastic. The quality is brilliant. Waterproof, well padded straps and back, fits plenty inside. It could do with having two compartments instead of just one. There is a small zip pocket on the strap that is handy and discrete. The downside is that the strap that tightens over the bags zip compartment loosens when I put it on my shoulder due to the metal clasp against the nylon. Looks lovely and a fashionable bag overall.

A quality and well thought out backpack
Love this backpack. First off, the green in the photos does not do it justice, I absolutely love the colour, it’s not quite khaki or bright green but somewhere in between and looks very stylish. It’s also a great shape, squarer looking than conventional backpacks which looks really nice.The recycled material used gives the backpack a very premium feel to it and I love the nice touches like the metal bucket.The inside and outside pockets have been very well thought out with lots of spaces and compartments for water bottles, electronic devices, bank cards, keys, and passports. It also has really good padding and is very comfortable to have on your back.It’s a quality bag and worth paying the extra especially for traveling.Thank you for reading my review, I hope you found it helpful.

Very comfy to wear.
Lovely basic, light weight back pack. It has a roll top fastening on the main compartment, which has a padded computer section built in. The straps are nice and thick, comfy to wear. It has a good selection of compartments and pockets, and is an attractive green colour made out of recycled bottles. I used it as a beach bag and it was the perfect size.

Great day bag.
Just used this bag for travelling. It's an excellent daybag and perfect for flying. It has pockets on the side for water bottles, which is a must for me. It's also great that it made out of recycled bottles.One slightly odd thing about the back is that the red front section unzips directly into the main body of the bag. There might be a good reason for this, but I would have preferred it to be it's own separate compartment for putting a book or smaller things in. There are a number of other sections in the bag, so all is not lost.All in all, very impressed with this bag. It's a little different from what else is out there and good for the environment too.

Fab
Fab dingbats roll top back pack. I got the forest green which is a really zesty khaki green. The bag is lightweight and stylish, well made with nice touches like the metal buckle. This bag is ideal for carrying a laptop with its roll top design. Theres a mesh back for ventilation to stop overheating and the bag is littered with useful pockets that are neatly tucked away. This bag is also environmentally friendly as its made from recycled plastic bottles, how cool is that! The main bag is water repellant and it has a strengthened bottom made from vegan pu leather. At 25l it’s not the biggest backpack but perfect for a days hiking and is very comfortable on the shoulders. All in all a wonderfully stylish, useful and environmentally friendly back pack!

Versatile, comfy and spacious backpack for multiple uses.
This is a superb backpack, suitable for carrying a 15/16 inch laptop, or just for general use including trips to the beach.The Dingbats Roll Top backpack is very well made, and I was pleased to find properly padded and comfortable shoulder straps, which make all the difference when carrying a heavy load in a 25 litre pack like this. As well as the laptop holder there is a good sized main compartment, and handy side pockets for drinks bottles.I decided to take off the ‘eco friend’ tag from the zip as I found it a little garish, but to each their own and it was easy to remove.The pack is not fully waterproof - and I wouldn’t test that with a laptop inside - but is very good at repelling water and I managed to get caught in a couple of rain showers during the review period, with no damage to any of the contents. The zips are particularly reassuring.Personally I like the black and red styling which is distinctive without being over the top; the bag definitely makes a statement through its colour and unusual or uncommon design.So, this is great as a laptop bag or a beach bag, and for the latter it has survived being thrown in a car and chucked on the beach and rocks a few times. I also used it for a long walk of several hours one day, and found it very comfortable to wear as well as being very spacious. Highly recommended.
