Quick and Easy
I use this light pack to bike to work. There is enough room for a change of clothes and plenty of places to put my wallet, cell phone and other essentials. The only thing I dislike is the chest strap, which is placed a bit high and can be awkward for someone with a larger bust.

Out, Up, and Around
I've only had it a few weeks, and it has rapidly become my favorite bag. Hugs the body perfectly for a low profile out and about in town, nighttime socializing, errands, etc. I've testing it, and it even goes well with a costume! Its light weight makes it low impact during hiking. I imagine it'll be great for little forays, day travel when abroad, picnics, etc. The black (especially) blends right in and is about as goodlooking as a backpack can be. Love it!

Super light, right size, good value.
Great size, light weight, really well made. UPSIDE: The padded mesh panel on the back area keeps your back from getting poked or sweaty. The waist belt tucks away out of sight & doesn't get in the way. There are tiny pockets in the straps - prefect for a small cell phone & nanopod. The fabric is pretty tough. Nice zipper pulls. Sternum strap is adjustable for a truly comfy, secure fit. Zippered pocket in main compartment has nifty detachable keyring system. Interior fabric is light in color - easy to find the little things that slip into the bottom of the bag without pulling everything out. Little gussets at the bottom ends of the zipper on the main compartment keep things from spilling out. Good value for the quality. DOWNSIDE: The straps are quite thin & bunch a bit - especially when you use just one strap. The small outer zippered compartment doesn't hold enough stuff - there are 4 slots for credit cards/ID - too many, and 2 long thin pockets perfect for glasses, but there isn't enough room for 2 pair once you try to zip the pocket shut.

light weight and right size
Took this bag to Israel and carried it with me everywhere. It is the perfect size and weight for tour book, camera, water, snacks, etc. Light weight meant that the bag was with me versus in the car or at the hotel. Only downside is that the outside pocket has too many wallet-like slots - so small items can get lost.
