Hiking Daypack

Nice well-made small backpack.

I wanted to give this 5 stars because, in terms of manufacturing and whatnot, everything is exactly what you see in the picture. However, I'll tell you the few things that bother me a little bit further down (nothing wrong with the product, just style choices).I wanted something that would carry not only my normal purse essentials; but also a travel watercolor palette, pencil case with brushes, and my water bottle. I always carry a 15 oz S'well bottle with me when I'm out, and this fit perfectly in the side netting pouch. I will caution, however, that at one point was letting the bag dangle sideways, and my bottle fell out. As long as it's fully upright, though, you're good!Everything fit. There are a surprising number of little pockets in this bag, though because of its size, you won't be able to fit a lot in them. My negatives are PURELY due to my preferences, and have nothing to do with the bag's quality. I like to have certain things (lip balm, phone, lotion) in a quick-to-access place. There IS a front pouch that has no zippers, but because I would be wearing this on my back in a crowded place, I didn't feel comfortable putting my phone in there. So it went in the next pouch, which is not only zippered but, for some reason, also has a plastic clip fastener. That's also where I put my money/cards. There's actually a little pouch inside the first one that's made for such things. But the other problem is that the bag is so deep that you can't really access any of this stuff easily.Like I said, this is a pure preference thing. I prefer purses because I can keep it at my hip and it's easy to access everything, but because I wanted to carry more weight, I needed something that would go on both shoulders. So while this wouldn't be appropriate for an everyday sort of bag (for me, anyway), as a day-trip bag for one person, it was pretty much perfect! If I wanted to carry more, I'd size up to a regular backpack.

I have used these backpacks for a few years and they last a long time. i haven't had a single issue with them and i use them 4 days a week.

I used this bag to travel to Greece. We were packing light with carryon only and this was my cabin bag and then travel backpack. It holds just enough for a low maintenance girl like me. It’s now my mom-of-older-kids bag. A water bottle or 2, small first aid and a few snacks! Good amount of pockets. Comfortable straps. The only thing that ended up happening was the reflective part above the clip started to rip and come off. The rest of the bag has been sturdy and held up now for a year of abuse.

I bought this for my daughter, she loved it and take it to the gym.

Bought this just before an international birding trip to use as a daypack to carry my water bottle, smallish bridge camera, extra batteries, snacks, etc. Loved that I didn't have to carry my large camera gear backpack everywhere. Holds a good amount and was very comfortable.

I had an L3-S1 fusion in June and next week we are going to Disney World for 4 days. I have thankfully recovered well and am looking forward to our trip. I can no longer take anything touching or putting pressure on my lower back or hips (even drawstring pants bother me after a while) so I searched for a smaller, lightweight backpack so I could carry a few things at the parks. I read through a lot of reviews and was convinced that this would be what I needed. This little backpack has exceeded my expectations in how comfortable it is to ware, how much it can hold, and how stylish and robust it looks! I packed it right away and have been carrying it around for the past few days everywhere to make sure it wasn’t too much weight or uncomfortable for me and it has been great- no pressure on my lumbar region (I’m 5’2” and it hits my mid-back) and not too much on my shoulders. I have packed a Minnie poncho, an Old Navy light weight vest, phone power bank plus cord to charge my phone, iPhone, Bumble Bee tuna snack pack, travel pack of tissues, wet ones pack, pair of gloves, head warmer band, i.d. and credit card, car key, foldable water bottle, 2 extra snacks, and I still have some room!

This is a well made backpack for any artist. I can place a 9” x 12” spiral bound sketchbook inside the large area plus some supplies. Two separate compartments on outside of bag. One with an outside zipper to keep equipment safe with an added zipper inside for pens and pencils. A second compartment is open to grab something quickly. Two mesh compartments on each side of backpack to place water bottle or water container for watercolor, gouache, or acrylic studies.I purchased this item so that I would not have all the weight of my larger backpack when sketching at places like a zoo. I am six feet tall and fits me great. If you want the challenge of sketching with limited supplies and want to keep your hands free to move and your shoulders and back light, buy this bag. It is for you!!
