Its been 8 years!! I purchased this backpack Apr 11, 2017 and it's still going strong. It's seen A LOT of use between hiking, biking, and multple trips to the gym during the week. Spilled water bottles, scraped on trees and rocks, and packed full more times than I can count with everything from dinner leftovers to hiking gear.One strap has some fraying, (I've definitely exceeded the recommended weight capacity on multiple occasions) but it doesn't affectthe functionality or durability at this point so far. I'm using it the same way I always have. I've caused some scuffing on the bottom from normal use but even with that, the fabric has held up great. A definite testament to the quality!I highly recommend. Great size, fits a lot more than the pics show, comfortable straps, and overall well worth the price.I'd definitely buy another one!

PROs:-- Lightweight and compact-- Comfortable to carry for long periods-- Incredibly roomy for a small backpack-- Durable outer fabric-- Two water bottle pockets & multiple inner compartments-- Nice variety of color & pattern choicesCONs:-- Inner zip pocket feels flimsy-- Inner slip pockets are too narrow & shallow-- Chest strap is barely long enough and waist strap is unusable for most adults-- Price seems a little high for what it is I was looking for a small backpack to use for day hikes, with two water bottle pockets and more than one inner compartment. I wanted enough room for supplies, but without being huge and bulky (or too heavy). This little backpack met all of these requirements.It is deceptively roomy! As pictured, I am able to put 2 hats, a headband, sunglasses, hand sanitizer, large rain poncho, and several Ziploc pouches full of supplies inside -- with lots of room to spare for extra water bottles, a light jacket, etc. The outer mesh pockets fit a standard size 500 mL water bottle well (and securely). The picture with 2 water bottles in the pockets is of the backpack fully loaded. I use the front zip pocket for snacks. It's not very big, but will fit a couple of granola bars and some trail mix. It would also work for a smart phone.The shoulder straps adjust easily. The chest strap is snug, but works. The waist strap, however, is way too short to be functional on a normal sized adult. Both me (5'4") and my husband (6'0") find the backpack comfortable to carry for several hours. Pictures of both of us wearing it are included for size reference.The outer fabric feels durable and the zippers function well. It is water resistant, but would probably get wet in a heavy rainstorm. The inner fabric lining is a little flimsy, and I wonder if the small zip pocket inside the main compartment will rip over time. The two inner slip pockets could be wider/deeper (you'd probably struggle to get a smart phone into one of them), but sunglasses fit just fine. I wish it had some daisy chain webbing loops on the exterior for attaching extra gear.We have used this on 5 or 6 day hikes so far, with no rips, tears, etc, but I can see how it might start to fall apart with daily/heavy use. It doesn't feel like a lifetime backpack, but I don't expect most merchandise to last forever these days. Overall, I would not hesitate to buy this backpack again. It has made hiking much more enjoyable for me.

I purchased this backpack for a trip overseas - wanted something small and easy to carry with an injured shoulder. The padding on the straps was just right and the ability to lock the chest strap took additional stress off of my shoulders. The two doubled zippered outer pockets provide plenty of room and have ties attached to the pulls and there is enough of the cord to tie them in a knot- or perhaps just a half-hitch. This was VERY useful, since I was traveling alone in Amsterdam, which has a horrible problem with pickpockets. The only pocket which is vulnerable to theft, is the diagonal single zip pocket - which I never kept anything in - which is a good thing, since a man did try to pick it open. The pack was small enough, that I was able to feel his attempt (or perhaps he was not up on his game that day!) There is an interior zippered pocket (in the larger of the compartments) that is large enough for a passport. The side pockets were large enough to accommodate my camelback insulated bottle (was a little hard to do when the bag is packed to capacity, but there are two loops - one on the top, one of the bottom that I could clip it to). I am a cyclist and think this pack will work well for times I want to bring a change of clothes or other things that won't fit in the back pockets of my jersey.POSSIBLE CON: although small, it exceeds the size for most museums to allow you to bring through exhibits (even if you wear it face forward), so you must use a locker to stow it (most museums have them for free). I did not bring a purse on this trip, so this was a slight inconvenience, but since it was cold, I had a zipper pocket jacket that I could safely place my cash etc in before putting the pack in a locker. Had it been summer, this would have been more problematic, since I wasn't aware of daypack restrictions at most museums.2 Years later: I still love this pack and it is still going strong with absolutely no failures of zippers, straps or any components. It has now travelled to the Netherlands, Norway, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand and on many US adventures.
