I love this daypack!.. it’s the perfect size for carrying everything I need and still leaves enough room to put my jacket or hoodie in.. the backing is thicker which keeps the contents from pressing on your back.. it’s lightweight and breathable.. not to mention super cute!.. highly recommend!..
Lighter than I expected! I've had a Camelbak for years that I was loath to switch from but it just didn't have enough capacity for an upcoming trip. With this bag I was able to transfer my water resevoir right over and go on my merry way. With water in it, the backpack weighs the same as the camelbak was empty. Pretty crazy and worth the cost for so much extra storage!
All good except for the yellow straps which would have been so nice to also be rainbow design like the rest of the bag’s straps.
Perfect kids sized backpack. Quality built with multiple hooks & loops to hang stuff off of. It's bright allowing you to see your child from a distance.
I purchased this pack for a day trip to Chicago during a very hot and humid week. This pack was absolutely perfect and just the right size. The back support was comfortable to wear for long hours, breathable and light weight. My things felt secure but easy enough to grab quickly. The color and small details were beautiful and I’m so excited to use it for my next adventure. Highly recommend this pack for everyone.
This small little backpack holds an impressive amount of stuff! I packed two pairs of pants, two shirts, a pair of shorts, a t-shirt, and a small vanity bag in it, and still had space for a bit more! It seems very durable and sturdy!
I just got back from my first hike using this backpack. As advertised, it’s lightweight, comfortable, and has plenty of pockets, attachment hooks, and space to pack necessities. I’m very pleased with my purchase!
I absolute love how lightweight these packs are and the design is so nice! Definitely durable and also the drawstring to open the pack is great touch!
I got the pride edition, which is awesome. I took this backpack in my suitcase for day trips in Iceland and it was perfect! It has great pockets, can stuff my Patagonia nano jacket in and my LL Bean fleece and whatever else I needed for the day. Highly recommend. Plus I appreciated the chest and waist straps when bike riding or hiking. All around a great pack to have in my collection.
Cute look and very useful design. Easily fits my camelback and supports well while running. Highly recommend.
