" ... It surprisingly has a lot of room inside despite its compact size! ... "
" ... Just the right size for me. ... "
" ... This is my go to bag now. ... I don’t get that cumbersome feel like a “ book bag” gives but LOVE how the top open ups to give me the necessary full access. ... "
" ... But I was fine because of this great backpack. ... "
" ... The organization is nice for the front pocket. ... "
" ... My immediate response was, "My backpack!!!" ... .Well, I believe I'll leave the purses at home next time--because this backpack was just perfect for TWO uses: ... "

" ... You really have to "work" at unhooking the zippers which is great for protecting your items, but at the same time it makes grabbing something quickly out of your own bag a task. ... "
" ... loved the little locking mechanism on the bag. ... there are a lot of pockets in this thing that make it easy to separate your belongings. ... "
" ... The backpack fits well on my back (I'm 5'4") and provided me with assurance that the pockets couldn't be accessed without my knowledge or that the backpack couldn't be cut off the shoulder straps. ... I carried my passport, credit cards and other id and my cell phone in the small zipper compartment. ... The large zipper compartment holds more that you would think. ... "
" ... It was easy to access the main compartment due to the "C" shaped zipper opening. ... The side pocket perfectly fit a tall Camelbak water bottle without worry of it falling out. ... (It could actually fit a bottle slightly wider). ... - I personally didn't use the "credit card" pockets inside the lower outside zip pocket at all. ... - I would have made the pocket on the inside back (below the zippered compartment) a little deeper. ... "
" ... Best bag ever! ... "
" ... This bag holds a lot. ... This bag is perfect and will be used time and time again. ... "
" ... I was looking for a purse sized backpack without a drawstring top. ... "

" ... Here is what I easily fit into this bag for my test pack: An Amazon Basics small packing cube holding a pair of jeans, a long sleeve knit shirt, 2 pair of socks and underwear, a bra and a caftan ... On the underside of the top flap is a zippered pocket that I didn’t use and I also didn’t use the credit card and passport slots in the front flap pocket. ... My travel documents will fit there nicely. ... My IPad easily fit upright in the 9 1/2” wide inner slot in the main compartment which is not padded but more to keep your tablet from falling over the other contents. ... The straps are nicely padded and backed with breathable mesh though the back of the bag itself is not. ... And take a look at what I fit into it! ... "
