sunhikerCycling Hiking Backpack Water Resistant Travel Backpack Lightweight SMALL Daypack M0714 (Dark Blue)

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.

Took this to the Omaha Zoo and it was the perfect size. Not too bulky but still large enough to fit all of my essentials. The best thing about this bag for me was the quality and the size of the water bottle pockets on the sides. With all the walking we did, it was crucial for me to be able to take my 40oz tumblr to keep myself hydrated and keep my water cold. The pockets on this pack were the perfect size and the clip made it even more secure, preventing it from sliding out when kneeling/bending down. This will be my go-to bag for similar experiences and i couldn't have been happier with this purchase!

This backpack is well made, the smaller size and the way it’s fits to her body make it perfect for a day hike. There is room for all the essential things she will need with out being to bulky or combersome.

So far I love this little backpack! It fits a surprising amount of junk despite it's light weight and small appearance, and it has a sleek design to it so it looks good as well. I don't necessarily feel confident in the material holding up on long treks with heavier contents such as sufficient water supply along with your other necessities, especially where the straps connect to the bag, and around the zippers, but I have yet to try it out under those circumstances. I'd say this is a good day pack for a predictably mellow hike, or maybe a good secondary backpack for easy access items if you're hiking as a couple, or group.The side pockets are a little too small to realistically hold my preferred canteen size without risking the stitches, so I tend to pack my water in the main pocket which takes up some space.I do think the waist straps are too thin and can become uncomfortable after a while of bending and climbing. The backpack doesn't necessarily need the added support because of its size, but if having waist straps is important to you I would take that into consideration!Overall I think it's a sweet little bag, the size is awesome, the price is very reasonable, and it works for what I had in mind.

I’m so excited to get this. It’s not too big, not too small. I hope it lasts a long time. It doesn’t swing across on one side, stays centered on your back, carries all the basic running stuff with snacks and dog leash too. Great value, fast shipping, no doubt water resistant. Front tiny zipper seems thin but main ones seem fine. That’s just a tiny key holder or something. It won’t be pushed against.

I bought this bag to Cruz around theme parks and this worked perfectly. It held everything I needed from water bottle to change of clothes for me and my kid. It's super lightweight, very durable and the price was affordable. I even spilt my water bottle inside and it dried super fast. I love how many colors there are and I would buy this again.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Yes, it is small, but quite mighty! It can fit my 24 oz long water bottle in the side pockets easily, plus you can secure it with the side straps. I haven't tried, but it could also fit a 32 oz water bottle in the two side pockets. It has ample space to put things inside that you might need for an overnight trip, day trips, hiking or biking adventures.I primarily bought this for traveling. It has a main compartment for bigger items, and a smaller front compartment for smaller items. I have an Osprey backpack, but it is not very functional for my use. It's too big and long and curves in the back to allow ventilation. This one does not curve, and is half the size of my Osprey, which I love! It is super lightweight and seems to be sturdy and well-made. I would definitely recommend this for someone small that can carry something small on different occasions. For reference I am a 5.0" tall female and this backpack looks just right on me.
