Best Bag

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bag is the best and such a cute color, I just wish there was more compartments

Couldn't Ask For More.

Bottom line: amazing backpack. Suits my day by day strolls in the city, for work, weekends. Besides, it has a great design. The size is ideal (20L). Couldn't ask for more.

Less Is More Was Never Truer

This is currently my favorite bag. I've had it for four or five years and its versatility never ceases to amaze me. It is my only bag on a one-week trip to warm climate, fitting 7 days of men's clothes, toiletries, plus laptop. It was a last-minute trip, so just wanted something I could fit under the seat on an airplane. Stowing the straps makes that so much easier than with other bags. You have to pack pretty minimally and I ditched the packing cubes to make everything fit, but it's working great so far. No room for water bottle, so I just bought one at the airport and carried it in my hand. I've taken this on a few, long, strenuous day hikes, and when you cinch down the backpack straps tightly, it remains very comfortable, even with heavy water bottles in tow. Really amazing considering how little padding there is when compared to all the overbuilt bags coming out these days. Originally purchased for work and it excels at that too. Stands up very nicely when full--but if only partially filled and the top pocket is crammed with stuff, then it won't stand too well, unless you have a laptop in it. My wife always compliments the bag all the time when she sees it on my back--says that it's just somehow aesthetically pleasing. I love the shape and the material--very nice to the touch and to the eyes, and also hardwearing and eco-friendly. Obviously more organization would be helpful, but then you'd lose the beautiful simplicity. I find the top pocket is just enough for my trinkets and things--keeps me from overpacking. If Fjallraven made one in 23 or 25 liters, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. It has gone up about $6 in price since I bought it several years ago.

I love this backpack. Perfect size. Use it all the time,everywhere. I've been using it for over a year and it has performed great throughout all the seasons, specially well in rain and snowy days. Only thing I would like to add is a bit longer straps or extensions to them. I find if the bag is really full it feels too tight specially when wearing a winter coat. Other than that, amazing bag!!!

Needs More Zipper Pockets.

This is a really nice lightweight bag. But it needs more zipper pockets. It only has two. One large zipper compartment on the outside and one small zipper pocket on the inside.
