For the price, I’m honestly disappointed with the quality. The stitching looks cheaply done and overall the backpack does not feel premium at all. It’s comparable to much cheaper products from s... See more

I purchased a 25l back back in November 2024. The bag ripped within three months. I contacted Anastasia from BFA customer support, who denied sending a new bag or a refund but offered 25%. Anasta... See more

The cheapest backpack I ever seen. Clearly a Chinese import (which you guys probably pay 3 dollars for) and stamp a logo to charge almost 300 dollars. I was so horrified by the quality I immediately r... See more

Product a standard 45l backpack in grey and yellow was issued and didn’t have stitched logo on. On further review the first image on the webpage shows the stitched logo and then subsequent images... See more
