Comments about REI Nikole Day Bag - Women's:
I bought the bag to be my "city bag"- I had to replace a fabulous satchel from England that I just destroyed through constant use. I wanted to have something that could hold a snack, a book, a notepad, maybe some water, maybe a camera, and be reasonably secure against pickpockets. I live in a city, so often want something that is easy to carry hands-free.
It's a good bag and I liked the recycle aspect, and especially the easily available zip-up water bottle pouch. Many people complimented the bag. However, I felt it was awkward to open and perhaps TOO generous in capacity. I've never had so many people ask me to hold something for them! I just don't really like backpacks.
I did use it for a few trips as it was the best alternative, but then I saw the similar messenger style bag, and switched to that! I gave my backpack to a friend who LOVES it for baby stuff!

Comments about REI Nikole Day Bag - Women's:
I've had this bag since before I became a mom. This bag is small enough to not feel like a backpack, but roomy enough for a couple books, water bottle x2, diapers+wipes, snacks, wallet, keys, camera, phone, and a small toy. It's great! And great for traveling too!

Comments about REI Nikole Day Bag - Women's:
I never carry a purse, and this is the best small backpack I've ever found. Plenty of room without being bulky, easy access to everything, and the strap design means carrying it over one shoulder actually works. The fact that it's made from recycled PET bottles is the icing on the cake. It's durable as heck, but not heavy. I can stuff an amazing amount into it, but it's light and compact when I don't have much in it. Plan to buy more in case it ever actually does wear out.

Comments about REI Nikole Day Bag - Women's:
I have several of the old-style "Nikole" bags. I've used them for years as a purse (and small dayhiking bag when I get out and about). The design was perfect; I have neck and shoulder problems and the 2-strap carrying was ideal. The long back zipper allowed me to stuff my mail or traveling documents easily into the flat section behind the main compartment. I could even put a file folder in the main section without mangling it.Then I ordered another one, since the older ones are wearing out...and then sadly returned it to REI. The "improvements" included padding the shoulder straps more and widening them. That wasn't a problem. But they were also shortened. That WAS a problem - the new bag felt crowded, and I couldn't adequately expand the straps. They also shortened the zipper for the back compartment, so I could no longer get my mail into that formerly-marvelous area. Some other changes weren't a problem, even though I was used to the older design - where the pens could be stored, those kinds of things. I could easily have adjusted to them.BUT the shortened straps and reduced back-compartment capacity rendered the new bag basically unusable, and I returned it. I have absolutely no idea what I'll do when my old-style bags completely wear out.

Comments about REI Nikole Day Bag - Women's:
I BOUGHT THIS BAG THE OTHER DAY FROM THE REI WHERE I LIVE AND I GOT THE CHALK COLORED ONE WITH THE MATCHING WALLET AND I AM TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THESE!!! THE BAG IS VERY STYLISH AND VERY PRACTICAL AT THE SAME TIME. I LOVE HOW THE BAG HAS LOTS OF ORGANIZERS IN IT AND I LOVE THE BACK ZIPPER POCKET I KEEP MY WALLET IN THERE FOR SAFE KEEPING. THIS BAG IS SUPER COMFY, I HAVE A HARD TIME WITH BAGS SLIPPING OFF MY SHOULDER WHEN I CARRY THEM BUT WITH THIS BAG I DONT HAVE THAT PROBLEM. I ALSO LOVE THE FACT THAT IT IS RECYCLED MATERIAL. THIS BAG IS JUST ALL AROUND AWSOME.

Comments about REI Nikole Day Bag - Women's:
I asked for and received this bag for my birthday. I was looking for something that made travel easier.
Just returned from a 2 week vacation and I really enjoyed this bag. It was great for air travel and it was stylish enough that I used it as a purse once I reached my destination. Lots of pockets kept everything organized. Roomy enough for all my day trip necessities - camera, water, maps, snacks etc.
Really liked that it can be used as a sling bag or a backpack. The backpack "mode" made negotiating the airport much easier.
I am very pleased with this bag! It was exactly what I was looking for!

Comments about REI Nikole Day Bag - Women's:
I've spent A LOT of time searching for a functional and stylish errand bag and I'm happy to have finally found it! This bag is the perfect size (not bulky) and has practical compartments. The two tone color and subtle graphic give it a hint of style. I frequently go into D.C. on weekends to run errands and show visiting friends around -- this bag fits my needs to carry essential items comfortably, but without the look or size of an ugly backpack.

Comments about REI Nikole Day Bag - Women's:
I love this bag. I have 2 young kids and love that you can carry 2 water bottles. I like the compartment on the bag that is closest to your back to store your valuable items. I use it all the time when I'm riding public transit or out shopping. There is enough room in the main compartment to pack snacks and a small lunch for a day outing with the littles. This is the perfect hands free bag for a mom, but still has a touch of style to it. Love it!

Comments about REI Nikole Day Bag - Women's:
This day pack is perfect for a trip to the climbing gym, with enough room for a harness, climbing shoes, chalk bag, and more. I also use it as a school bag, surprisingly it's flexible enough to fit the typically large science textbooks. It also comes in handy when going on day hikes or taking my dogs to the park (with toys, bowls, water, etc.).The straps are very sturdy and extraneous items can be clipped to them for easy access. This bag is an all around perfect day pack and suits a variety of functions.

Comments about REI Nikole Day Bag - Women's:
I use this pack to commute to work by bicycle. It is perfect because while being compact, the shape accommodates everything I need. The water bottle holder or small thermos pouch is functional. It has a nice separate front compartment which has a cell phone holder. Easy on and off and very comfortable.
