I purchased this for use at the gym. There are a few stains on the bottom and the logo, but it's relatively clean. The gray color makes it difficult to see dirt, and it can be used regardless of the season. It has many pockets and a large capacity, so it can hold a lot. The parts that touch your back and shoulders have cushioning, making it comfortable. How about it for school, club activities, or going to the gym? Please note that it will be folded up for shipping.
