I don't know why, (and I saw another reviewer mention it about this particular purple pattern), but the zippers are pink instead of black. I don't hate the difference, but I would have preferred black zippers. So I have no idea which bag patterns still have black zippers and which are a different color since you can't trust the photos listed on the item.

Other than the zipper colors not matching the photo they have listed for it, I do love the quality of the bag. It's very, very nice and I will be buying more of these bags in the future with different patterns. I wear womens 9.5 in street shoe size, so I'm one of the largest sizes for a ladies foot and my skates fit fine. The yellow tags shows you can store the skates vertically if you have really long skates. I found I had to tilt my skates slightly in the bag to make them fit, but I didn't need to turn them fully vertical. If you do turn them fully vertical, much, much larger skates will fit. There's a lot of room for blade and boot when its vertical.
The middle pocket has plenty of room for my long skate guards, my waxel pads, towel, water bottle etc, with still room to spare. It would definitely fit a helmet if you wanted to stuff one in there, and there would still be a little room leftover for a couple more small things.

Wearing the bag on my shoulders is very comfortable and there is plenty of strap left to make it even larger. I don't see why this bag would hurt anyone's shoulders unless they're trying to carry a heavy boulder in their bag.

My son likes this bag. It's smartly laid out, and the zippers and stitching are good quality.
He wears an EU size 40 with a 10" blade and it accomodates his skates nicely.

I saw another skater using this backpack at the rink and thought it would be perfect for me. I was right, it safely carries my skates and accessories. I should have gotten the larger size though, that would have allowed me to carry more gear. I've been using mine for a year and love it

I had a cheaper one and it broke quickly after several uses with the blades rubbing on the plastics. Then we got this one for my daughter and it was such a difference! Love the quality and color. It lasted through the whole summer for now. Will see how long it will last!

Great product
