Look / Quality + Easy Return Policy Look / Quality: Got an Aero for husband, who's a frequent business traveler, he loves the comfortable fit, stylish looks and the volume the bag can carry. He told me he's got lots of compliments on the bag from work and at the gym! Excellent return experience: I originally got an Apex but my husband likes the Aero better so we returned the Apex with no hassle and order the Aero

Filtered Product Reviews EDIT: They posted my review after a couple of weeks, which I appreciate, so updating my review based on the customer service. Will follow up with the company to see if there is a way to resolve me issue. Received the Troubadour Ridge Backpack as a gift. I really loved the bag, but the design is very sleek so the bottom of the shoulder straps are quite small (1 inch thick) and soft. This resulted in the straps loosening every time I put on the backpack. I wrote a 3 star review on their website, and they never posted it, even after I verified my email. It seems that they filter their reviews which is quite frustrating because you'll never know the cons of their products and be able to make an informed purchasing decision.

Apex Backpack The Apex Backpack is a great everyday, urban bag. Unfortunately, I had a problem with the main zipper three years after purchase. It was replaced quickly and with little fuss. A great bag and the best backup service and warranty that I have experienced.

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.

Bag great - customer service, not so much The bag is very well designed and made. Unfortunately, it's unsuitable for me. I need to return it, but there is no return label in the box. I've called Troubadour 4 times now on 4 separate days to try to get a return label, but no-one has got back to me, despite assurances that my request is being treated as 'urgent'. I am only writing this review to try to get someone to PLEASE help me return the bag...! Update: someone finally emailed me this morning, and the bag is now safely on its way back to Troubadour.
