Vaschy Classic Rucksack Backpack

There is no point in tip-toeing here so let’s call this backpack what it is; a cheap backpack for those who like the Herschel look but don’t want to pay Herschel prices. Vaschy introduces a competitively priced Herschel Little America alternative with their Classic Rucksack backpack and it surprisingly doesn’t suck.

So what exactly do you get with such a cheap backpack? Surprisingly, more than you would expect. The bag’s main compartment has a slightly bigger carrying capacity than the Herschel Little America. It also has side pockets for water bottles, smaller pockets inside the main compartment, and a mesh pocket inside the front pocket - all things that the Little America doesn’t have. Although you shouldn’t expect a “quality” backpack here, the Vaschy Classic Rucksack backpack is decent enough considering the low price.

What we like

• Cheaper backpack for those who don’t want to spend the money on more expensive brands.

• Side pockets and internal mesh pockets are a nice touch.

What we don’t like

• Cheap construction and stitching proves that you get what you pay for.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Dimensions: 18” H x 12.8” W x 7” D

• Capacity: 26.5L

• Material: Water Resistant Polyester

• Weight: 1.59lbs

• Laptop Compartment: Up to 15.6”

Vaschy Classic Daypack

Vaschy is a brand that is relatively new to the scene of backpacks and bags. With their Classic Daypack, Vaschy takes a bite right out of the designs of more expensive bags such as the Herschel Heritage backpack and the JanSport Right Pack. Simply put, it’s a more affordable option for those who don’t want to put out the extra cash.

The bag itself is filled with surprising features that you don’t get with more expensive backpacks of this style. For one, the Vaschy Classic Daypack features two side pockets for water bottles or an umbrella, something that is painfully missing from Herschel’s Heritage backpack. The Vaschy Classic Daypack also features a laptop sleeve in the main compartment, various small-item pockets and even a water resistant exterior. Not bad for a budget backpack.

What we like

• Cheaper backpack for those who don’t want to spend the money on more expensive brands.

• Side pockets and internal mesh pocket for small items is a nice touch that you don’t usually see with backpacks of this style.

What we don’t like

• Quality isn’t terrible, but it can feel cheap. You get what you pay for.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Dimensions: 16.9” H x 11.8” W x 5.9” D

• Capacity: 19.35L

• Material: Water Resistant Polyester

• Weight: 1.3lbs

• Laptop Compartment: Up to 14”
