After having my son's chunky backpack delivered on the 30th of September, I initially wasn't intending for him to use the backpack until 2024 but after mindful consideration that the backpack that my son had been using since 2022 was on its last threads so when schools reopened on the 10th of October, I tested drove the H&G chunky backpack & let my son use it & to date (28/11/23), I am immensely impressed with how it hasn't lost its shape, how the colours are still vibrant & how the straps snug comfortably on my son's shoulders even when the backpack is full.
