Review: Great Little Backpack that Carries a Lot and Looks Super - For a recent trip to Paris, I wanted a small lightweight backpack to wear during my long walking excursions throughout the city. The backpack needed to be lightweight and hold a water bottle, light jacket or sweater, umbrella, extra iPhone battery, other small items, and anything else I might need to spend the day away from my hotel. It also needed to be "packable" (which typically means folding into a small pouch that comes with it and may or may not be attached)—or at least not take up a lot of space or weigh a lot. Thus, I embarked on a 3-month long search for exactly the right backpack, spending hours and hours online. However, I kept coming back to this one. This backpack comes in a variety of very nice colors. I considered black—so neutral and goes with everything. But I was really attracted to the “gardenia white” one. Since most of my travels will be, if not during summer, in milder temperatures, the light color appealed to me. It’s actually a warm off-white, rather than a stark white color. The black trim and zipper pulls give it some sophistication, and the total look is very appealing. Having decided on the color range, I then looked at hundreds of backpacks in white, off-white, and beige. Once again, I kept coming back to this one. While I was willing to pay more, this one met most of my needs and just happened to also be very reasonably priced. It has a small, but sufficiently sized, front pocket with an almost invisible zipper (which I like, in case of pick pockets). On the exterior, one side has a stretch pocket that holds a bottle of water or smaller umbrella. The other side is claimed to be a second water bottle holder. However, it is actually a very tiny pocket, which (as others have noted) has such a narrow opening that it is almost impossible to get into and thus useless as a practical matter (and I have very small hands). Ultimately, I used it as a place to store clean, loose tissues that I could quickly access if I needed to blow my nose, because of spring pollen, or needed to wipe something up. The padded top handle is useful and comfortable if one needs or wants to carry it that way (such as on a crowded subway or bus). And internally there is an open pocket and a nice sized zipper pocket with a key clip I hadn’t initially considered it necessary but began to really like the idea of the front bungee system. I could use it for compression. However, I found that the most practical use for it in my case was as another place to store a sweater or jacket. This way, if I acquired items along the way that I put into the backpack, the bungee system could be used to make way for them internally by attaching my jacket to it. Finally, the padded straps and back panel make this backpack very comfortable for all day use. This means that it isn’t foldable, but it’s small and thin enough to simply store flat in the bottom of your luggage. The slight amount of bulk the back panel padding adds is worth it. Backpacks without it means that items inside can protrude and bump against your back as you walk. The only downside is the lack of a true second outside pocket. I do miss this as exterior pocket for an umbrella that can be quickly accessed (always useful when travelling to Europe). But this meets all of my other needs so well that it was worth the trade-off. I’m back from Paris and truly love this backpack. I used it every day, all day. I found it more useful and comfortable than a sling bag would be, especially since I could put a lot in it-- from fruit purchased at a stand to souvenirs to everything needs to stay out for 8 or more hours at a time. Its light weight, along with padded straps and back panel, made it very comfortable. It looked great, with enough of a put together and appealing style that I never wished I’d brought a handbag. For all that it does, it is a terrific value.
Review: Perfect! - I love, love, love this backpack!! It's the perfect size and layout for what I need. I have to use either a crossbody bag or a backpack due to neck issues. And I didn't need a bigger, full-size backpack--I have one when I need to carry my laptop or when I travel. I needed something lighter that I could carry daily. Most of the crossbody purses I've tried are either way too small or too big. But this pack is perfection! I can easily carry my wallet, phone, keys, reading and sunglasses, doggie bags, Kindle, and even my iPad if I want to, along with some other small odds and ends. This has just the right number of pockets, and even filled, it's still lightweight and comfortable. Highly recommend if you need something to carry your daily stuff and don't require something bigger for a laptop.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great small EDC backpack.
*by W***N on February 2, 2026*

I absolutely love this little backpack! It’s small. 10 liters. Not 30 liters. So don’t expect it to carry your laptop or school books. It’s an alternative to a 6.5 liter sling bag. Basically a day bag to carry small essentials. That said, my iPad fits in it no problem along with a couple books or a packable jacket and a whole lot more little stuff. This thing is well made and durable. The zippers are top notch. The color is exactly what I wanted and expected it to be. The pockets hold quite a bit of stuff and even if you stuff it full you can still get your hand in the openings, unlike my Osprey sling that this replaced. Buy with confidence but also knowing what you’re buying. This is a MINI backpack. It’s a great little EDC if you don’t carry a lot of stuff every day. For me, it’s perfect. I wish I’d bought it sooner.
