I love this backpack. I bring it with me whenever I travel. It's the perfect in-between size for when I have too many things to fit in a purse, but not enough for a full-sized backpack. It has just enough room for a camera, binoculars, water bottle or umbrella, and a jacket in addition to the essentials. Its warm neutral color and non-schlumpy shape make it look about as sophisticated as is possible for a nylon backpack. The padded straps are comfortable and the backpack is well-made and sturdy. I've had this for years now and it still looks new. If I could change anything about it, I would make the side pockets large enough to hold a reusable water bottle. As-is, they only expand enough to hold a small plastic bottle. I'd also prefer that expandable straps were shorter, because they have about a foot of excess when I wear it. But this is still an essential go-to backpack in my collection (and I have many!)
