Before you go running off to the big baseball brands and pay-up for a similar bag: this bag has done its job for 2 seasons (and 2 fall balls!) and still doesn't show signs of significant damage or wear-and-tear. It's sturdy, thick, well-made, can survive tween handling, and has a great amount of space for baseball needs. Remember, things usually hold up according to how you treat them or maintain them. If you have kids starting out in baseball and you don't want to invest a fortune in equipment because you're not sure they'll stick with the sport (or you just don't want to spend a fortune, period) this is a great bag to get. It does its job and isn't just great for the price, but great in general. There's a cleat cubby, bat pockets, exterior elastic ropes, a big interior space, etc. The nice thing is that if your kid doesn't stay with baseball, this is still a great bag for any other gear, camping, a park day, etc.

We are loving this backpack for baseball gear. It is roomy and holds everything we need. Everything has a place and being able to hang it on the dugout fence is a major plus. It is comfortable and light to wear. The materials and construction seem to be of good quality. So far so good. I will update at the end of the season.

Perfect softball/ baseball backpack very affordable, has plenty of room , very easy to use

This backpack has many features. Very nice, thick padding on the straps and where it rests on the back (back shoulders and lumbar area). Metal vents in the front pouch for ventilation for damp items. There is a compression cord in the front but I wouldn't use it for this purpose because it scrunches the bag up in an undesired way. Instead, I would use this for storing a wet towel or rolled up jacket that I don't want to store inside the backpack. There are more compression straps on the sides to compress items stored inside. Netted side pockets on both sides that are divided in two. This might come in handy for skinnier water bottles or other narrow items. I would have preferred one side to be divided and the other side not, for larger items you want to stash in the netted pockets. There is a reflective strip in a few strategic places on the backpack for some added visibility at night but these are minimal and don't detract from the style of the bag. Lots of inner pockets for random items. The entire body of the backpack is padded to protect electronics, etc... I particularly like that there is a heavy duty hook attached to the top strap. If you've got a place to hook it, it keeps your pack off of the dirty ground or at a more accessible level. I like to use these types of backpacks for airport travel. I can carry all of my personal items (laptop, snacks, headphones, passport, travel blanket, etc...) and remain hands free to deal with ticketing/hauling my luggage. It's much better than traveling with a messenger bag or purse. With all the compartments and pockets, it's easy to keep everything organized and easy to find.

Excellent size and functionality. Surpassed my expectation given the very reasonable price point

Best baseball backpack! Holds everything you need. LOTS of room. Love how the cleats go on the bottom

My daughter loves it. good quality she happy camper

This baseball backpack is a decent option if you're unsure if your child will stick with baseball long-term. It has the basic compartments you need, including a separate spot for cleats, which is a nice touch. My son was excited about having a "special" place to keep his shoes.However, the build quality isn't the greatest. The material feels a bit thin and flimsy, and I'm not sure how well it will hold up to the wear and tear of a full season (or multiple seasons). The zippers also seem a bit cheap and I worry about them breaking.For the price, it's an okay starter bag. But if you know your child is serious about baseball, I'd recommend investing in a higher-quality backpack that will last longer.Pros:* Affordable price* Separate shoe compartment* Good for beginnersCons:* Thin, flimsy material* Cheap zippers* Not very durableOverall: 3 out of 5 stars
