My partner absolutely loves it! It's the perfect size for his laptop during the week, and hiking snacks and water bottles over the weekend!

Love my Buddy Backpack! It can fit so much and it beautifully made - very happy with my purchase

I love my backpack, the only thing is that the orange paint on the back started transferring to my clothes when I wore it for a few hours while travelling in a warm climate. Some of my white clothes started getting orange streaks on the back.

Customer

Would have given it 5 stars if it had more internal pockets to help separate small items, and if the main zip was not so “sticky”. Still absolutely love it

Jenny M.

Awesome bag, made from durable material!

Love the bag :)) I got the small version and I think it's the perfect size for someone looking for something that will look good where you take it whether it is to work, onto a Cafe, a day hike etc. I personally don't like bags that look like a turtle shell but this is definitely a good size. The construction is solid, the laptop sleeve I think could made alittle better by not allowing the laptop to touch the bottom of the bag because the laptop sleeve does not fit my 13inch Mac if it has a laptop cover on and I am worried I will damage it if I put my bag down too hard. But there is padding there so we will see how it goes I think it should be fine. Otherwise, the bag is great

Customer

It’s great quality and fits lovely, I’ve only had it for around a month now and it’s been good to me! The only small issue with the bag is that the zips on the main zipper are hard to close and open at the edges at it sometimes gets stuck. Other then that it’s stylish and feels amazing!

Bought my backpack and use it as a laptop bag and for day trips and hiking. Love it!

Liesl T.

Excellent service! Lovely, very neat and practical backpack - wear it almost everyday!! Thank you!

Customer

Great quality bag! Looks great and it can surprisingly fit quite a lot of gear. It held up well during my travels to Europe. One recommendation would be to add some padding to the back as it can get quite uncomfortable during the long hauls. Hope you enjoy the photo on the beach of Nazaré.

Customer

I even use my Sealand bag on week days, its fits my laptop, mouse, lunch pack, power bank & all the cables I need when i am mobile.

Customer

Nice small size & lightweight. Would have preferred a few extra zipper pockets on the inside.

Meghann C.

Got my backpack as a birthday gift ahead of our trip to Europe in June. Can’t wait to travel with this light weight, trendy bag!

Tilar S.

It's a beautiful backpack. I own quite a few Seland products. The design, comfort, and funcationality are perfect! This is one of their older range products, their new range is even better!

Customer

Amazing pack for a wonderful trip to Jordan.

Julian L.

Love your bags. One suggestion to improve them: a little more padding in the shoulder straps.

Charlotte P.

Happy with the quality and neatness of the finishes of the bag. The fabric has quite a dry feeling, but is sturdy and a solid black colour. I am using it as a nappy bag- perfect size and enough compartments! Mostly I am happy and proud to be using a product from a brand that supports local jobs and sustainable practices. Keep up the good work!

I originally bought the large black version. There was a manufacturing fault and I exchanged it for the small buddy in blue and white, which was the best thing that could have happened in my bag journey. I love this bag. Very cool look and design. Great storage compartments, love the small pouch on the top of the bag I use for keys. Couple of things I don't like - the shoulder straps are joined to the bag from thin bands rather than via the full width of the straps themselves. It creates the opportunity for straps to twist, which they do, and creates a structural weakness. And then the rear of the bag has no cushioning, it's the bag equivalent of being in a go kart. Perhaps future editions could incorporate cushioning. That said, I would still favour it over a more comfortable Thule. Tragically, probably because it looks so good, it was stolen from me, full to the brim of my mobile office gear. I'll be at the store soon to buy a replacement.

Sealand's quality and service is beyond brilliant! We bought this backpack for our son, who cycles with it, puts his computer in, as well as earphones and college work. It is light but strong, and my son absolutely loves it! Thank you Sealand!
