Best backpack I'm a backpack junky, and the Troubadour Apex is the best I've owned. Perfect pockets and design. Stylish enough for work but durable enough for a hike when playing hooky during a work trip.

I was not satisfied with the quality or… I was not satisfied with the quality or the service with my Troubadour purchase. I ordered 3 items that were shipped in two separate packages, but troubadour only provided 1 tracking number and my online account info told me all items were in the one package. The package without the provided tracking number ended up at a UPS store for an entire week, without any notice or communication. I finally located it after contacting troubadour multiple times and finally getting the second tracking number. It was an unnecessary headache which would have been avoided if correct tracking information had been provided in the first place. I ended up returning all items because the quality was not as good as expected. Specifically, the sewing on the backpack was uneven and the zipper was uneven in a way that made it seem like it would not stay waterproof after repeated use.

Great quality and reasonably priced I have purchased 2 backpacks (one for me and one for my wife) from the soho store and they're both excellent quality. I take my laptop, gym kit, protein shaker and water bottle to work every day and it all fits perfectly. It's comfortable to wear but looks professional so perfect for the city. The fact that it comes with a 5 year warranty shows that they stand behind the product. Also found the guys in the soho store really friendly, helpful and knowledgable about the products. Rare to find these days!

Awful service / experience Short version: almost two weeks of back and forth where I had to help point out issues / felt like it was on me to show what was going on. Ended with just cancelling the order. Would be highly concerned if I ever had to actually use the 'guarantee' based on the ordering experience. 4/8 - placed order 4/10 - fulfillment email w/ tracking 4/11 - tracking was not registered with UPS, I reached out to troubadour asking where it was 4/12 - support noted warehouse confirmed it was sent and told ME to reach out to UPS 4/13 - support confirmed it is right tracking ID / was sent 4/14-4/16 - had to also reach out on chat to prompt a response, got conflicting information because chat representative pulled the wrong order ID 4/17 - support confirmed tracking ID now works and that item was on the way 4/19 - after ANOTHER exchange of emails, support / warehouse now say package is actually lost and not sent at all, offering to reship with no discount or compensation 4/20 - requested refund instead, waiting on processing

great backpack great backpack. very high quality and functional. has a lot of pockets and is lightweight as well. really happy with it.
