Side by Side Comparison of: Under Armour vs BRINCH(TM)

Can't find a water proof backpack on the market, but Amazon has all the answers. This online service is the best, place to invest in many items. The backpack has a lot of room and it looks outstanding. Can't wait for them snowy and rainy days, to use the backpack.

This is my daughter's 2nd under Armour storm hustle II backpack. The first one lasted her 3 years of major abuse. She is now in 10th grade. This bag carries ALL of her books back and forth to school daily as she doesn't like leaving them in her locker do she can study. Even with her last one I never had problems with it trying to rip at the seams or even the material we only retired it due to getting dingy over time but it is still in excellent usable condition with the exception of a small hole in the mesh from a pen. This color and design on this bag does not get justice from the photo. The colors are very pretty but do not show dirt as easy as others. Along with the daily school wear this also gets thrown on the ground, dropped in dirt and stepped on very often due to her cross country training and holds up well. I was very leary at spending this much on a school bag until I saw how well they hold up. Definitely worth the price.*** If you are like me then you research reviews on amazon before purchasing most anything which is exactly why strive to leave quality feedback and informative reviews.

I bought this quite some time ago and it is as advertised. It has plenty of space for all sorts of attachments to your laptop as well as enough pockets to keep everything organized. It is lightweight and durable. I am pretty rough on backpacks and this one can take the punishment. I have nothing negative to say about it.

My high school age son LOVES this backpack-- he likes how it stands upright when he's putting all his heavy books in. He also likes the laptop pocket. This is a lot nicer than the Nike backpack he had before that was the same price and didn't last.

I bought this for my college books and computer. The third week of school the top ripped. I contacted under armour and they sent me a brand new one and I returned the ripped one. They stand behind everything!! 😊😊😊😊😊

Purchased for my son going into 6th grade. Perfect size, multiple pockets that he can utilize. Would be big enough for middle schoolers or high schoolers.

Good backpack the side pouches for drinks are really deep and strong so it can carry my pretty large bottle. At first the straps hurt my neck and shoulders but after a few days of breaking in its wayyyyy better. The only thing I don't like is the front bottom pouch, it is really big and cuts off the middle bag. I had a different version of this backpack and I loved it. I guess those two pouches are really all that I thought that wasn't "good" but apart from that, this is a awesome backpack!

my teen was going though 2 backpacks a school year until we got this one. roomy, rugged, stylish - passed the test at a fair price

This backpack was exactly what I was needing. Living in New England and walking to work in rain/snow, having a water resistant backpack is a necessity. The straps are comfortable too, making long walks much more bearable The only thing I'm not 'happy' about is that it is slightly smaller than I expected, but it's not a deal breaker in my POV.

Daughter is in Week 5 of school and still loves her bag. My only complaint is that it could be a little bit bigger. She still winds up having to hand-carry some of her binders.

Awesome backpack, great to see. My only complaint is that the color that I ordered/received are different. The picture colors on the website compared to what they actually are are not the same--I purchased this one in the hopes that it the Golden State Warriors colors for my stepson and the yellow that appears to be on it is more like a deep orange. Heads up to those that order it.Other than that, GREAT product, the kid loved it!

This is not as large as I thought. Love all the pockets just wish there was some smaller pouches or pen holders etc specifically inside the smaller pouches. I hate just throwing everything in. But good quality and it will work

Bag seems to be good quality, but it is too small for teenagers who want a backpack for school. We had to return the item.

Reasonable backpack, but a lot smaller than I anticipated. Whilst you could say that's my own fault, the dimensions were there and available, my shoes hardly fit in the backpack. I'm only a size 10.5, so anyone with shoes bigger than that will not be able to use the internal shoe bag at all.

Not as waterproof as I thought it would be. Walking to and from campus with an umbrella over it should be enough to keep the water out. The front pockets obsorb water it seems like. Can't keep my electronics in the front pockets anymore.

It's a lot smaller than I thought it would be. Smaller as in thinner so my teen's books & folders don't all fit. But it's as described, I just thought it would be bigger.

Pretty nice back pack. Bottom hopefully will hold through out the school year. Looks lower quality material on the bottom.

This is such a nice backpack! But I don't like how after a couple months of use, it lost its shape and it kind of looks like a huge, slumpy backpack now. Also, the straps aren't as cushioned anymore. It is actually quite loose. It was nice while it lasted though.

I have had this bag for a while now and I don’t know what is wrong with it, but the way the weight is distributed, it gives me the worst back and neck pain I have ever had. I’ve tried adjusting the straps and stuff, but this bag nearly put me down after a long trek through airports to fly out. I have never experienced such poor quality straps and I won’t buy another bag like this again. So disappointed.

Looked nice. Unfortunately after only 2 months of my 14 year old carrying it the zipper broke. It's smaller than expected.

Very small, my 6th grader could not even fit his binder in this back back let alone two books. Very disappointed. now we are having to buy him another back pack this year because he starts 7th grade and will need to put more than two books in his bag!

Bought for our son as a Christmas gift. He is going to college in the fall. He loved it! He has used it less than 2 months and the zipper broke. He hardly puts anything in it, no books. It should not have broke. I am sure nothing can be done since it has been 2 months. Sadly, we will be buying another backpack for him to take to school.

I purchased this backpack for my high school aged son. Two weeks after the first use the bottom of the inside pocket ripped and separated. We have purchased Under Armour back packs in the past that have lasted a few years but this one did not even last the first month of school. Really disappointing.

I bought this and when it showed up I was pretty disappointed with the quality. The layout is actually pretty good, but it feels so cheap, the fabric material is paper thin, and the zippers seem to be very cheap as well, also not a fan of the weird pouch at the outside bottom, it would be useless if there is already stuff in the big compartment. I ended up sending it back and ordering the Dakine 101, it just showed up and the material is very sturdy, the layout is even better and the zippers are a bit better quality. I'd have to recommend the Dakine, it is the same price but much sturdier and seems like it can take a beating, the Under Armour seems like the thin cheap fabric would rip if it ever snagged on anything. My two cents.

If you want a backpack that lasts only 2 months - buy this! I ordered this backpack for my freshman son - we received it end of July, I put it in the closet until school started mid August - it is now mid October and it has a big rip in it. My son uses this strictly for school, it is the most short lived backpack he has ever had. I contacted Amazon regarding this and was informed that it is past the time frame for replacement from Under Armour - so apparently they don't stand behind their product.HOWEVER, Amazon was amazing and offered me a full refund for it - thank you Amazon! I will use the refund towards the purchase of another brand backpack.

I'm not sure why people are considering this a huge backpack, it's extremely small and if you're lucky you could probably fit 3-4 large notebooks from Five Stars and a binder if you cram it in.

I'm not impressed. The inner lining is so thin, not much protection for your laptop. Not to mention the stitching in the bag has already began to fray and stick out each and every way. I used for a week. Wish I could get a replacement.

UA backpack started to tear after 4 weeks of using the backpack. I went on amazon to try and return and it says it is too late. A $55 backpack should last longer than 4 weeks. I expected more from Under Armour. My son doesn't throw or over load his backpack. I need to try and contact Under Armour I suppose.

This backpack is just over the 30 day return period and the plastic clip on one of the straps has broken and now we are unable to return it. Its been literally like 34 days! ugh. For the amount of $ we paid this should have lasted much longer than 34 days. Very frustrating that there is no policy to stand by behind their products quality.

Looks and feels like a knockoff... The one at Cabelas feels a bit heavier and nicer made.
