User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Worth every penny
At this date, I’ve owned it for well over a year now and I can say that it’s worth it.

Some other reviews say it’s small or lacks space, that’s half true.

1. Yes, it has 3 slots for cards but on the other side you have a mesh for your ID (also includes an ID holder for that area [which is pretty awesome]) and two pockets for cards you don’t really use daily or other stuff like business cards or even a fishing license. Which both have plenty of room for cards.

2. Currency space, while I haven’t been out of the US in the last year I can’t say anything about other countries but for US currency, it’s perfectly fine space if you put your bills in properly.

Wear and tear so far has been very minimal considering daily use. I thought for sure the zipper was going to be the Achilles’ heel but it’s been working without trouble for me. I do keep it maintained so I’m sure that helped as well.

The zip around keeps everything in place and you don’t have the random card falling out in your pocket sometimes. That really is a nice touch.

It’s also quite light and thin which is a bonus. Makes sitting on it nice or throwing it a different pocket for safe keeping.

3 Stars NOT for the global traveler!
Great wallet in many ways - secure and durable. But the description says it can hold almost all size currencies and is great for the global traveler which is absolutely not the case. As a USA only wallet it gets 5 stars, but for global travel only 1 star.

2 Stars Too small…
Nice wallet…but who are they kidding? The bill compartment is even too small for US dollars. The zipper would cut into the bills every time I wanted to close the wallet.

5 Stars VICTORINOX
VICTORINOX IS THE BEST IN LUGGAGE AND TRAVEL ACCESORIES. IF YOU’RE REALLY MESSY AND WANNA TIDY UP, THIS IS WAHT YOU NEED, CONFORTABLE, GREAT AND CLASSIC. BESIDES BLACK GOES WITH EVERYTHING.

2 Stars Small, small, small
Wallet is small. Even my currency barely cleared the zipper. And what’s the deal with no change pockets in wallets these days? If you’re looking for an ultra slim wallet to carry just a few things this’ll probably do just fine (and the zipper is a nice touch). But if they’d just add an inch to the height and find room for a velcro or zip change pocket I would be giving this a 5. Instead its heading back in the mail tomorrow.

5 Stars Loved by All
I bought this backpack for my brother and from the moment that he took it to school all he can say is that he loves his backpack and that everyone at school wants it, both girls and boys are begging to buy it off of him. It’s not too big nor too small, and can easily carry what is needed for middle school and high school.

5 Stars EXCELLENT BACKPACK!!!
I HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL BACKPACKS FOR MY 14 YEAR OLD SON. TYPICALLY, WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME UNDER MY SON’S DAILY USE, THEY FALL APART. THIS BACKPACK HAS NOT ONLY WITHSTOOD THE TEST OF MY SON’S HEAVY SCHOOL BOOKS, TOSSING AROUND ON THE BLACKTOP, ETC., BUT THE LITTLE COMPARTMENTS ARE GREAT TO EASILY ACCESS HIS PHONES AND GADGETS!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

5 Stars Just right for school
Gave this as a birthday present to a young friend, who reports that it is very pretty, and holds all her school things. Probably very similar to the JanSport backpacks of my younger days, but in more modern colors.

4 Stars JanSport Superbreak Backpack
Bag is exactly as described. It’s the quintessential backpack - one large pocket for textbooks, notebooks, laptop, etc… and one smaller pocket to store pens and the like. I’m convinced I’ll be pleased with the durability and functionality for time to come.

3 Stars Was nice til it broke
I am from WI, near the Jansport factory, so I am familiar with the brand. Not as sturdy as I remember, the fabric was thin, but cool looking. After using it as a gym bag for a month, the zipper broke. Now it is un-usable, so it was nice while it lasted.

4 Stars Great price
We love our trailer but the only thing is, make sure you are athletic and in shape before you purchase it. My husband has to attach it to his bike b/c I get too tired to trail the 2 kids around in it (they are about 30lbs each). I have to say that it is really roomy and lots of fun for the kids! It attaches to the bike easily and is easy to assemble, etc.

5 Stars Great Bike Trailer
I bought this trailer to carry luggage, not children, and it has worked out great! I went to Martha’s Vineyard for a weekend and was able to put my backpack and my wife’s backpack plus food items and more in the trailer and it worked great!

5 Stars For the Grandkids
I have not used the trailer because of time constrains. It will be used this coming weekend.

The trailer is just what I wanted.

From placement of order to receiving the item, there were no glitches. I rated the overall service as 5 stars.

Look forward to my next purchase.

5 Stars Great Deal, Great Price
I couldn’t be happier with this product. It works perfectly for our little one, and can’t imagine anyone spending the money on a name brand bike trailer when they could get this item for less than $100. I will say that the cloth seats and belts inside seem a little on the cheap side, but it works perfectly for neighborhood strolls. I would recommend this item to anyone on a budget who wants some quality outdoor bike time with their baby.

1 Star Very cheap materials
Though we were initially thrilled, we were not so happy when the first of the restraint straps broke within a few weeks of purchase. A few weeks later a second strap broke, rendering one side of the trailer unusable. Six months later, straps on the other side began fraying and snapping. Mind you, this was with infrequent use and with two children under the age of three–not really heavy or active kids. The trailer was kept outside in mild weather, covered and in the shade. Now (at just over a year of ownership) all of the straps have completely rotted apart and it is completely unsafe to put our kids in it. After reading through several of the other reviews, this is clearly a recurring issue.

Though we ultimately purchased the Instep Take 2 for less than $100 (on sale), I wouldn’t buy this trailer again for half the price. I’m all for saving a buck where you can, but this is a *complete* waste of cash.
