sunhiker Small Hiking Backpack Women Men 20L Lightweight Travel Backpack Daypack Casual Backpack For Cycling Outdoor Camping

Nice, small, lightweight backpack, suitable for a quick day trip, day hike, or carrying supplies for an informal meeting, trip to the library, etc. Good number of pockets. I like that it has a chest strap, which many small packs don't have. Would also make a good backpack for a kid. I don't know how durable it will be, since I've only had it 5 or 6 months, but it's nice to have something smaller than my bigger backpack and more versatile than my messenger bag.

PROs: -- Lightweight and compact -- Comfortable to carry for long periods -- Incredibly roomy for a small backpack -- Durable outer fabric -- Two water bottle pockets & multiple inner compartments -- Nice variety of color & pattern choices CONs: -- Inner zip pocket feels flimsy -- Inner slip pockets are too narrow & shallow -- Chest strap is barely long enough and waist strap is unusable for most adults -- Price seems a little high for what it is I was looking for a small backpack to use for day hikes, with two water bottle pockets and more than one inner compartment. I wanted enough room for supplies, but without being huge and bulky (or too heavy). This little backpack met all of these requirements. It is deceptively roomy! As pictured, I am able to put 2 hats, a headband, sunglasses, hand sanitizer, large rain poncho, and several Ziploc pouches full of supplies inside -- with lots of room to spare for extra water bottles, a light jacket, etc. The outer mesh pockets fit a standard size 500 mL water bottle well (and securely). The picture with 2 water bottles in the pockets is of the backpack fully loaded. I use the front zip pocket for snacks. It's not very big, but will fit a couple of granola bars and some trail mix. It would also work for a smart phone. The shoulder straps adjust easily. The chest strap is snug, but works. The waist strap, however, is way too short to be functional on a normal sized adult. Both me (5'4") and my husband (6'0") find the backpack comfortable to carry for several hours. Pictures of both of us wearing it are included for size reference. The outer fabric feels durable and the zippers function well. It is water resistant, but would probably get wet in a heavy rainstorm. The inner fabric lining is a little flimsy, and I wonder if the small zip pocket inside the main compartment will rip over time. The two inner slip pockets could be wider/deeper (you'd probably struggle to get a smart phone into one of them), but sunglasses fit just fine. I wish it had some daisy chain webbing loops on the exterior for attaching extra gear. We have used this on 5 or 6 day hikes so far, with no rips, tears, etc, but I can see how it might start to fall apart with daily/heavy use. It doesn't feel like a lifetime backpack, but I don't expect most merchandise to last forever these days. Overall, I would not hesitate to buy this backpack again. It has made hiking much more enjoyable for me.

This has become my go-to pack when leaving the house, especially for hikes. It's comfortable and the amount of space is perfect for me. I love how adjustable it is, it always rests comfortably no matter what I shove inside. So far, it seems pretty durable, I've noticed no fraying or ripping anywhere despite overfilling it a few times. Because of the size, it always fits snugly in small spaces, it would be great for traveling. My only issue with it is specific to me, I like to bring drawing supplies with me wherever I go, and the three little pockets inside of the middle section of the bag are a little too high to be practical for holding pencils/pens, but it's not a huge problem and I always make it work. Overall, I love this bag and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a small, durable, and comfortable bag for pretty much any activity. I would absolutely buy this again, as long as it holds up for longer than it has so far :)

This is a very well-crafted backpack. Double zippers, everything is stitched well. It seems sturdy and the colors are wonderful. I just received mine in the fun aqua-blue color, and am buying two more for my daughters. (Color choose is awesome!) It’s a great size for day hikes, travel, or to use in place of a purse heading to a cafe or on a walk. I am female, 5’6”, 130, and I do strength training (so, my back is a bit wider than average..). The chest strap extends fully to fit me, but would not fit most males. The waist strap fits perfectly with no extra room. The backpack can fit an iPad Pro (12”) but in the main area of the large section, not in what looks like the designated spot for it in the back of that section. That works. My 20 ounce water bottle fits on the sides but it’s lop-sided and a bit wobbly. I carry it inside the bag. A smaller water bottle would fit better. Suggested improvements: 1) make the front pocket fit the size phone that people use nowadays. An iPhone 14 needs to go in the middle pocket and is less accessible that way. 2) provide a small strap in the interior of the pack (either section is fine) for a carabiner clip / key ring! This is so so important. There are really no areas in the pack to secure your keys, and if you’re on a hike or road trip, losing keys would be a major disaster. 3) make the small interior zipper pocket 50% bigger. It just barely fits my tiny wallet, and definitely would not fit a typical man’s wallet or more than a few cards. Overall, love this backpack, but definitely know your uses and know the size limitations.
