Adults' L.L.Bean Continental Rucksack is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 84.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from You won’t regret buying this backpack This backpack is so durable!! We have had one for years and decided to get a second. The sizing fits well for every member of the family to use it. I like that the colors will stand out on a bike.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I was sent a used pack so it’s being sent back The Continental Ruck fits well, is comfortable and is an excellent entry level option. A few things I would recommend to the LLB design team: larger (fatter) side and front pockets. I am a woman with hands on the small side, and I had trouble getting things in the pockets. The pocket lids also make it hard to open up the pockets to get to what’s inside. The clips on the pockets are also too small. The side pockets do fit a 32oz Nalgene bottle (however it’s a small struggle), so to everyone that claims the pockets don’t fit those bottles, you can stop saying that. Also, adding length to the straps at the bottom of the bag is a HUGE MUST. Otherwise, what’s the point. Just stop adding them or put some D rings so people can modify the pack to their own liking. This pack is a five star pack for it’s overall design, however I removed one star due to the issues I mentioned above, but most importantly because my pack had a gross stain on its top side the size of half a nickel. Ew. I would still recommend it to a friend. It’s comfortable to wear and that means a lot.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from New is not like the Old To the folks at LL Bean. In the interest of maintaining Leon's now tarnished reputation. People will gladly pay good hard earned money for great long lasting quality. I own one of these ruck sacks. I bought it in the 1990's. IT goes on hunting and fishing trips with me. Only the plastic clips have been replaced. Find better material. Use larger thread diameter and triple stitching. Give us something we and Leon can be proud to own and manufacture. You've lost your way in pursuit of the mighty dollar.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Sturdy Backpack I bought this bag over 5 years ago in a color that's no longer available but I rave to almost everyone about this bag. It's held up through 5 years of school and hiking and it looks good as new! I love the different features that makes it very versatile for both casual use and hiking such as the pouch for a water bladder that can also fit the average laptop, the many pockets for all my daily needs, and the fact that the clip waistband can tuck into the back of the bag when not in use! This bag is by far my favorite bag that I've ever owned and I have used it almost every day for the past five years so it's definitely worth the money!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Multipurpose Backpack I borrowed my fathers bag for a trip and had to get my own afterwards. The bag is a good size, plenty of room in the main compartment for anything you'd want to put in it. It will fit under the seat of an airplane. The padded compartment will fit multiple tablets or a laptop. There is also a small padded zippered pocket on the inside at the very top for valuables. The side pockets are adequate as well as the front pocket. There is a umbrella pass through on one side too. Each external pocket has a nice clasp and strap to keep things secure. The straps of the bag are well padded and include a chest and waist straps to distribute the load better.
