  • Straps are very short, side pockets are too small.
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf Black
I've been looking for a small every day bag for my water bottle, keys, hat, gloves, maybe my Nintendo Switch, that sort of thing. I don't need something large enough for a computer, and I don't want something cumbersome or heavy. This looked like a really great option. Unfortunately... the straps are not nearly long enough for me to wear this. Now I'll be fair, I'm 6'2" and pretty heavy. But I don't have especially broad shoulders, and most of the weight is in my gut. I'm big, but I don't think I'm so big that I should be outside the range that this bag is being marketed for. Especially when you consider how many images on this listing show people wearing coats and jackets, which would bulk them up significantly. My wife is much shorter, and the bag fits on her okay, but the straps still seem a little short. The straps also connect to the bag very close to the middle, which doesn't result in the best geometry. They really did just take their larger bag, and scale it down with almost no additional thought. The other issue is the water bottle pockets. Now I never intended to use those, I want the water in the middle of the main part to keep the weight centered, but if you were considering using those pockets: No, they aren't big enough. You might, with some struggle, get a 16oz disposable bottle into the one that has elastic. But unless you have something more flask-shaped (but still not wide) that's not going to work. That being said, if you are short/petite, or buying this for a child: It seems pretty great! Okay materials, good looking construction, nice padding on the back and straps, etc. Over all, if not for the strap lengths I'm pretty happy with the item. I'm just probably going to have to return it since it doesn't fit on my body. I'm considering maybe modifying it in some way... but I'm unsure if that's reasonable. I really WANT to like this product, and I WANT to use it. It's disappointing, as at this price it's a pretty premium product. Many quality normal sized bags go for this same price, you would think they could have give it another 6-8" of nylon to the straps. They're adjustable after all, it's not like they can make them "too long" - if someone doesn't like the extra dangle, they could always use scissors. I'm contemplating how to do the opposite though. I don't have a sewing machine, but if I could find some nylon straps of the right width that already have loops sewn into the ends, I could probably connect them to the existing ones with carabiners and not have to actually cut or sew anything. ... show more

  • DON’T EXPECT IT TO BE A BIG BAG
Size: 15 Color: Wasabi/Harbor Blue
I rated it 4 star because it’s cute. Not exactly what I expected. It’s very small. However, I might not even return it because I can find other uses for it. It’s the kind of bag your 3-6 year old can use for travels. So it’s not terrible. Or maybe if you’re a female teenager, you can pack your passport, a diary of some sort and maybe some miscellaneous stuff like a small make up bag etc… ... show more

  • Very small NF backback
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf Black
Depending on what you're using the backpack for it could be great, or awful for your needs. If you like to pack light for a day trip into the city or around town it'll work wonderfully. But if you're looking to use this to pack full for a longer trip,,, good luck. Pros- Lightweight Small Namebrand Comfortable Designed well Cons - Very small No place to hold a large water bottle (think 40 oz hydro flask) ... show more

I wanted a smaller pack to be airline carry on personal item size but 10l was too small so bought a 15l size. However it is well made and looks good.

  • Perfect cute day hiking bag
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf Black
I could fit my 32oz water bottle in in along with snacks, sunscreen, wallet, tissue packs, phone, and very sturdy. Just wish it had a strap that went around the waist for support but I already knew it didn’t have a strap like that when I bought it so still 5 stars!

  • Right SIZE for sling pack, but short shoulder straps …
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf Black
I’m wondering if I can take a shoulder strap from a sling pack and put it on this bag. Or maybe I’ll give it to my daughter for back to school … I wish I could just call and get one made.
