ead the backpack r© MM Publications
I’ve had my City Zone XY backpack for more than three months,
so I think it’s time for a review. It comes in a variety of colours and
patterns, but I chose the grey and black one. I use my backpack
every day – at school, at the sports club and on excursions.

I love that this backpack has a simple, elegant design while being
super practical at the same time. It can hold everything I need to
have with me all day long, including large notebooks and a laptop.
Another thing that’s great about it is that it’s made of waterproof
material, so your things stay dry even if you get caught in the rain.
Also, the shoulder straps are wide and thick, so I feel comfortable
even when I’m carrying loads of stuff. Last but not least, the
larger image backpack comes with a portable power bank. It has come in handy
several times!
