Absolutely LOVE the purple color and zipper pulls and adjustable, removable 2 pink elastic cords to use internally or externally. Side water bottle pockets are huge and deep! Fantastic! Great small top pocket and big compartment too. Very comfortable and highly adjustable shoulder straps too! Marking down many stars because the zippers for the small and main compartments are difficult to access and difficult to use due to the overhanging fabric and engineering/design. Unfortunately, I returned this backpack. I bought 2 different purple backpacks, one made in Vietnam and one made in another country. Both had the very same zipper issues. Returned both.
I absolutely love this pack. It was a great size - not too large, but still held everything that I could possibly need on my hike. It was very comfortable to carry and I thought that the pockets on the shoulder straps were very convenient for small items. I do wish that those pockets were just slightly larger because they did not fit my phone.
Overall, I’m very happy with this bag. It has one large compartment and a few smaller ones to allow for organization, but not so much that things get lost. The shoulder straps are comfortable and the water bottle pockets can fit a 36oz yeti water bottle. What I don’t like are the pockets on the shoulder straps. I liked the idea of putting my phone in them, but I had to force my phone (17 pro in a case) and it ended up mashing the side buttons and wasn’t easy to get in and out, so the convenience was null. The mesh threw me off - it’s not elastic. This is nitpicky, but I also didn’t like the waist belt - it seems unnecessary on a bag this size. I do recommend the bag, though. It’s a great replacement to my Deuter stepout 16 and it has a lot of additional feautures my old bag didn’t have, like the adjustable/moveable straps and water bladder compartment/ports.
Everything about NEMO 15 L Daypack is fabulous! Incredible design and construction- smart, value added features; loaded with exceptional materials; clearly a winner! Great comfort, long lasting
Pros: beautiful, comfortable, good material Cons: hard to use sine the zip was covered. The interior is too simple, no divided pockets. Not organized. Very hard to find stuff. I feel like people who made this think a lot about how to make it look beautiful and comfortable to wear around but forgot about ease of use, the most important thing I consider when buying a backpack. If they change the interior design, I would buy it .
