This backpack is awesome. Its simple and perfect. I had one all through High School and go this one for college an it will probably last a long time...

I'm 17. I've been looking for a backpack b/c my handbag was really starting to hurt my shoulder. This backpack is great!!!!!!! I take it everywhere. It's light and the straps are comfy. It's always on the ground in school and never gets torn. There is alot of space too. I carry a typical 3 in. binder, two folders, 4 journals, 2 english books, a pencil case, 4 oz water bottles, and my handbag! Its very cool. I recently took it on a trip when I was traveling and it fit all my clothes and other necessities. I'm glad I got this backpack. It also arrived 2 days later. BOOST!!!

My black JanSport Superbreak Classic Backpack rocks! It is very well made and constructed. The material feels great and sturdy. It holds all of my heavy college books and then some! There is a pocket inside the smaller compartment that is great for holding my wallet when I don' feel like having it in my pocket. The bag is not too big. Its simple and just right, not bulky. The top loop is great for hanging it on the hook that's on the door of the restroom stall when you don't want to place it on the floor. This thing looks great in black. I was afraid that the blue background of the JanSport logo (that is on the black bags) was going to be too bright, but thankfully it is darker than it is in the photo. It is a dark navy color. This bag comes with a lifetime warranty that I doubt I will ever need. I'm sure that this is the last backpack I'll ever need to get! :)

I was on a search for a simple backpack that would fit all of my books and binders for an affordable price. Jansport was my answer. This bag is perfect for my needs. The large component is perfect for my binders and textbooks, I can even fit books and drinks in it too. I didn't want a backpack with a lot of designs all over or bright colors as I wanted it to be semi-professional looking. I highly recommend this backpack, especially for those looking for an affordable, simple bag.

I got this backpack for my granddaughter for Christmas. She is a backpack collector, but this quickly became her favorite. This is sturdy and put together well. We expect to get a lot of use from it. Very attractive too. We are extremely pleased with this purchase.

used it on an old leather jacket and gloves that were molded up and they now look and feel great! Worth the price.

I had a nice leather jacket given to me as a gift 9 years ago. I neglected to care for this jacket like I should of. Finally after years of neglect, I was looking down at the jacket as I buttoned it up, and realized that it was pretty thrashed and worn. After some searching online, I started looking for leather conditioner. The reviews for this product helped me choose this for the product to try. I spent an hour using it on my leather jacket, and it almost seems like new. It definitely feels like it did when I first got it. The shine is back, the smooth texture is back, and it doesn't seem nearly as worn as it once was. This product was amazing and I highly recommend it for using on leather jackets.

Our leather couch, chair and ottoman are several years old and were extremely dry. Admittedly, I should have reconditioned these a little while ago, but life got in the way. I was hoping for at least a subtle change, but I was pleasantly surprised with the results. The cream was easy to apply, didn't drip, didn't need to be buffed afterward like some other products and did wonders to breathe new life back into our tired furniture. Really dry leather (like furniture that should have been reconditioned sooner by its procrastinating owners) may require more than one application.

Maybe my expectations were too high, but I didn't get the results I expected after reading some reviews. I used it for cleaning a nude color leather bag. General apearance was improved and the leather feels more conditioned, but no stain was removed. I found this product just as good as any saddle soap that costs much less.

I restore fine designer handbags & luggage - vintage and modern. I have used many, many leather products out there over the years, and I will say that Leather CPR is my go-to product...seriously, I panic if the tube is getting close to running out. Its clean, appropriate for all colors, including white (do not put Lexol on light colors!) its non-toxic so you can rub it on with your hands, it conditions wonderfully, without a strange greasy or slick feel. I recently tested products on a black leather jacket with dry, faded arms. Leather CPR won hands-down for restoring the black color and the natural smooth feel. Gliptone is my 2nd favorite leather conditioner, it smells amazing - but I only use Gliptone on darker bags and its more expensive - I wish it were found locally. Lexol has its place, for sure - for darker colors with seriously dried out fibers (old luggage handles for example) but its oily, so you have to be really careful where you put it, and Lexol does darken leather permanently (because its basically oil) and Lexol smells awful!! Overall, Leather CPR is my absolute first choice for the overall versatility, low cost, wonderful results and ease of purchasing!

One leg is cracked (through a doweled area) probably from no protection other than cardboard shipping box. The finish, while a nice dark color, is uneven due to poor prep of wood. Some areas are shiny, others have a rough texture. I may glue and refinish the crack or just send it back. I am too busy prepping for 35 arriving for Christmas! I have been an Amazon shopper for over 6yrs.; recently placed about 16 orders! This is the first item that was unsatisfactory. Update: This item was returned. I bought a small folding table instead.

Very nice luggage rack. Delivery very timely and as expected. Very good price too. Thank you.

Winsome 92420 Luggage Rack with Curved Legs, Espresso. I bought two for my guest rooms and they look great and are very functional.

I use this bag to carry around a change of clothes, water bottle, binder and some other loose stuff and it works awesome. I've got a few compliments from work about it; seems like its built nice also - perfect gym bag & perfect size + looks good.

Bag is just as described. Great size for training gear, short travel trips etc. Would highly recommend. Seems to be good construction, zippers strong, and it looks nice too.

I have used this bag a lot and it has met my needs. I use it as a gym bag and also used it as a carry-on during a recent flight. It stored a change of clothes, laptop, and running shoes with ease. The handles are secure and stitched really well. The navy color looks good against the contrast of black webbing and silver logo. I am not really a big Under Armour fan so I was skeptical before I ordered it, but it seemed to be the only choice with consistently high reviews and it does lives up to the fanfare. If I could make it better, I would ditch the roll up mat as I don't use it and would rather have the space. As others have mentioned a "valuables" pocket would be nice. The big outside pocket is the handiest to use for wallet, watches, etc, but this leaves things in plain view through the upper mesh. The side pocket works for valuables, but I normally have stuff in that pocket already and my watch and keys always end up in the bottom where I have to dig them out. The medium size worked well for me, the large would have definitely been too big. I purchased this through Amazon from Ebags. I found that it was cheaper through Amazon than on Ebags website directly. I don't think there is a better duffle out there for the money.

This bag is awesome, I use it for air travel and for my jiu jitsu gear. The wet pocket means it doesnt get stunk out so its fine to use it for other things. Fits a BJJ Gi easily, very comfortable to carry and plenty of pockets for the mouth guard, box and belt. The fold out mat seems a little pointless but im not doing out door sports so im sure it would be handy for that. Pretty easy to tuck a folded towel into the end pouch if you want to keep that seperate. Great Buy

This powerfully emotional film from director/co-star Jeroen Krabbé works and sticks with you, despite some fundamental quirks. You've got to swallow the idea that we're set in Antwerp with the Scottish actress Laura Fraser as the lead, all set in English. We just saw I've Loved You So Long [Blu-ray] and the filmmakers there take the pains to write an explanation for Kristin Scott Thomas' English accent (the film's in French) into the script. Here, we get an inexplicable mixture of people and languages in this environment, yet no reason for it. [I'm reminded of Smilla's Sense of Snow, where Julia Ormond is supposed to be Danish...and Robert Loggia as her father, no less.] Again, despite those comments, this is a powerful film not to be missed. It has one particular moment of such overwhelming, perfectly staged, unexpected emotion that I defy any viewer to watch it with a dry eye...just as I defy any viewer not to fall head over heels for Laura Fraser in her portrayal as Chaya. Her beauty and winsomeness - she's approx. age 21 - 22 when this was released in 1998 - will bowl you over.

LEFT LUGGAGE, an English speaking Netherlands film, was a tremendous film festival traveler, and is known worldwide under nine very different titles.The U.S. release refers to the luggage that Chaja's Father had buried in Antwerp,Belgium when the Nazi onslaught hit Belgium.The film then symbolically refers to the baggage that is left in the lives of the people who endured and survived the Holocaust and the legacy that is put upon the next generation.I have seen this script done countless times and far more effectively! 1972 Antwerp has Chaja (Scotland's Laura Fraser-Virtual Sexuality)as the daughter of two non-religious Jewish Holocaust survivors.Her Father cannot let go of the past, and her Mother refuses to acknowledge it.Chaja's Jewish identity has never been of any real significance to her.She takes a job as a nanny in an Chassidic household.This type of Jew is quite different to Chaja.The rules are stricter,but not all that much of the difference is explored.The parents of three boys,The Kalman's (Isabella Rosellini and Jeroen Krabbe,who also directed this film) hire Chaja to help in the household, though Mr.Kalman is initially opposed.The youngest son,Simcha,has remained mute for some reason.Chaja and Simcha form a bond and they both start to blossom as people forged in this new generation. Edwin de Vries,(who also wrote another Krabbe film which is rather directionless-The Discovery of Heaven) wrote the screenplay for LEFT LUGGAGE, and the fact that this film is released under so many different titles to me explains a lot of the disconnect and uncertainty of purpose that I experienced with this film.There are many subplots in this film and the meandering leaves a very unfulfilling sense of where the heart of this film should be;in Sweden the film title is translated "Little Simcha"-so is the film about Simcha? I didn't think so.In Germany the film is audaciously titled "Kalman's Nanny";in Argentina, "For Love" and rather innocuously "Research of the Past" in French Canada! The fact is that LEFT LUGGAGE is a bit of all of these titles,but alas not specifically any one of them.Herein is my rub;for all it's good intentions, this film is neither a great look at Holocaust "baggage" nor a film about love for a child, nor about researching the past.You will learn little bits about lots of things, but not specifically about one. If Chassidism is what you are more curious, I suggest The Chosen.If you are more interested in the Holocaust, there are innumerable films that are far more interesting than LEFT LUGGAGE.The same goes for a girl coming to grips with her heritage from WW2 as in (An American Rhapsody, The Devil's Arithmetic,or Music Box. I would have to echo "Newsday" critic,Gene Seymour's "frequently moving" accenting frequently, but not always.A very cautious 3 stars.

As others have already mentioned, this movie explores the psychological trauma of European Jews in the post Holocaust generation. It also looks at the life of Chaja, a young assimilated Jewish girl, who becomes connected to her people through her connection with a Chassidic family for whom she works as a nanny. Although the film is clearly emotionally moving, particularly at the turning point, it is also intellectually stirring, as viewers are drawn to consider the meaning of virtue, community and survival. It is for that reason that I disagree with reviewers who are opposed to the film because of its nudity. The filmmaker uses the nudity to juxtapose the values and culture of the general Belgian youth of the time to that of the conservative, religious values of the Kalman family. The swimming scene appears immediately after a scene in the Kalman home. It is shocking, both because of the content and because of the use of light (low lighting in the scene in the Kalman home, and a brightly lit day in the succeeding scene). I rented this movie, then bought it, and am considering buying a copy for a friend. I've watched it several times. That's how much I like it.

VERY GOOD MOVIE,IT'S SAD HOW TRADITIONS SEPERATES PEOPLE FROM ONE ANOTHER EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO WAR.

This is a powerful movie. However, I recommend you keep the kids away. It some mature matter that may not be appropriate for the little ones.

Does a very good job of weighing. The strap might be a little easier to attach. Maybe some type of hook.

I haven't taken the scale on a trip but I did test it when received and it was on the money compared with my bathroom scales.

We purchased this product for our Parents who travel a lot. We were excited about the reviews and the product and thought that it would be a great Christmas Gift. It didn't work at all. 4 different people tried several times to read the instructions and weigh the luggage but the scale kept reading 28lbs. When the luggage was weighed at the airport it was 51lbs. I must have gotten a bad product judging from the reviews. We didn't get a chance to use the scale until February and by then it was too late to return the product. What a shame.

This is my new item not to leave behind when flying! We were always concerned with the weight of the luggage when we return from a trip, and this took away the guesswork. Weight was exactly the same as the scale at the airport. Particularly handy on those charter flights when weight limits are very strict.

I purchased this recently to take on a trip. It worked after I opened it to weigh our luggage before leaving. We only used it about 7- 8 times to check the bags and then packed it with our suitcase. When we repacked our bags to come home the batteries were already dead. This is unacceptable and I would not recommend this scale to anyone.
