PINNACLE Backpack

The Eastpak Pinnacle is widely considered the "big brother" of the classic Padded Pak'r, and after using it daily, it’s easy to see why. If you are someone who carries more than just a couple of notebooks, this is the definitive upgrade. 1. Capacity and Organization: Unlike the basic models, the Pinnacle features two massive main compartments. This is a game-changer for keeping my laptop and tech gear separate from gym clothes or heavy textbooks. The front "organizer" pocket is also surprisingly deep—it has a mesh zip pocket and slots for pens and keys, which saves me from digging around at the bottom of the bag. 2. Comfort and Build Quality: The shoulder straps (SGS - Slim Glide System) initially feel quite stiff, but don't let that deter you. They are designed to "mold" to your shoulders over time. Even when fully loaded with a 15-inch laptop and several books, the quilted back panel provides enough structure to prevent the bag from sagging uncomfortably against my spine. 3. Durability: The fabric is the classic Eastpak ballistic-grade nylon. It’s water-resistant enough to survive a dash through the rain and incredibly resistant to abrasions. The zippers are heavy-duty (YKK) and, although they can be a bit stiff at first, they feel like they will last for the famous 30-year warranty period. Pros: Huge 38-liter capacity without looking overly bulky. Excellent internal organization for small items. Extremely durable materials and reinforced stitching. Very comfortable once the straps are broken in. Cons: Lacks a dedicated padded laptop sleeve (I recommend using a separate sleeve inside). No external water bottle pocket, which is a common omission for this classic design. Final Verdict: It is the perfect backpack for heavy-duty students or commuters who need to organize their life on the go. It’s built like a tank and looks professional yet casual. A true "buy it for life" item.

My son has an East Pak Pinnacle back pack for school and has used it for the past 18 months with no issues so with that in mind and my daughter due to start secondary school I wanted the same again in a different colour. This was the cheapest colour going at the time and is non offensive and easy on the eye. Got it at a great price so very happy and 6 months ahead of schedule, I like to be prepared. These bags are spacious and hard wearing and don't suck up to any brand fashions. They are tough, durable, spacious, have a fair few different compartments, no frills but stylish enough all the same. I'll be back for another East Pak when the next child in line needs one. :-D

Bought this for my boyfriend as his backpack zipper broke and he absolutely loves everything about it. Great storage space, sturdy material, cool design and great for any adventure!

Like this rucksack plenty of pockets, a great size for a short weekend, could do with bottle holders and double zips in places other than that it’s great

I have been using the Eastpak Pinnacle Backpack for everyday use and it has proven to be a really practical and durable bag, especially if you need something that can carry a lot without feeling flimsy. One of the best things about it is the large capacity and smart layout, with two spacious main compartments and additional front pockets that help keep things organized instead of everything getting mixed together. This makes it perfect for carrying books, notebooks, gym clothes, or daily essentials without running out of space. The backpack is made from tough polyester with water resistant fabric, so it handles everyday wear well and protects your belongings from light rain. It also has padded shoulder straps and a cushioned back panel which make it comfortable to carry even when the bag is quite full. The built in organizer pocket is another useful detail because it helps keep smaller items like keys, pens, or cables easy to find instead of getting lost in the main compartments.Another thing that stands out about this backpack is the overall quality and reliability of the design. It feels sturdy, the zippers are strong, and the bag is designed for daily use whether you are going to school, university, work, or traveling. The capacity is around 38 litres which means it can hold quite a lot while still being comfortable to carry throughout the day.Overall it is a very dependable backpack that combines a classic design with plenty of space, good organization, and long lasting durability, making it a great option for anyone looking for a backpack that can handle everyday use without wearing out quickly.

Excellent bag which holds a surprising amount and has lots of different and useful pockets and compartments. Fits under the seat on flights. Highly recommended.

Great, large capacity backpack. I like the separate compartments and each one holds loads. Very comfortable to wear for long periods

Excellent backpack. Very large capacity. Fabric quality is excellent, and even withstood some truly torrential rain without getting soaked inside.

Muy buena calidad, para muchos años

Ho comprato questo zaino per mio figlio che frequenta le superiori, e devo dire che ha superato le aspettative. È davvero robusto e di ottima qualità. Lo riempie tutti i giorni con quintali di libri, quaderni e persino dizionari (molto voluminosi: Greco e Latino). Lo zaino sembra reggere molto bene senza dare segni di cedimento. Le cuciture sono ben fatte e le cerniere scorrono senza intoppi. (un po' invadente il risvoltino antipioggia, per la verità, ma roba da poco) La tasca davanti è di rete ed è comoda per l'ombrello, per far si che non ristagni l'umidità. Inoltre, la buona impermeabilità dello zaino è un altro punto a favore: questo autunno molto piovoso lo sta mettendo alla prova e l'interno è sempre asciutto. L’unico lato non troppo positivo che ho notato sono gli spallacci, che sono un po' sottili. Anche se mio figlio dice che non gli pesano troppo sulle spalle, credo che un po' più di imbottitura e un profilo più largo potrebbero renderli più confortevoli.... Per quanto riguarda il colore, noi pensiamo che il nero sia la scelta migliore: è elegante, si adatta a qualsiasi outfit e, soprattutto, nasconde meglio eventuali macchie o segni di usura. Mio figlio ne è entusiasta, piace anche a noi genitori e, in più, abbiamo colto al volo una promo e l'abbiamo pagato davvero poco!

Hace muchos años tuve 2 mochilas de esta marca y sinceramente eran de mejor calidad que la que ahora adquirí Esta es de buena calidad pero es como para uso rudo con materiales muy duros; antes eran más estéticas y de igual manera, muy durables

Le cartable est grand et a un beau panel de possibilités de rangement. Il possède plusieurs pochettes et des compartiments (on peut facilement séparer la farde des cahiers par exemple). Les couleurs sont belles, conforment aux photos. Mon fils l'adore.

Geweldige rugzak. Beide jongens zijn er heel blij. Al hun schoolboeken en laptop past er in. Dat was met hun oude tas soms wel eens erg lastig. Hij houdt zich ook zeer goed, stevige rugzak
