I'm impressed with this backpack overall. I (44 y/o female, 5'6" ht) needed a pack to use as a personal item to take with me on a flight and four day trip to an alumni reunion at a summer camp in CO. I knew I'd be horseback riding, tubing, hiking, etc and would need to have something to carry water, sunscreen, a jacket, money, a towel, etc in. I'd have at least one kid with me and therefore would need snacks, and maybe even an iPad or something, too, in the bag.This pack is comfortable, has a good number of pockets with zippers including a secret slim zippered pocket on the back of it (part that goes against your back- perfect for passports/money/ID, etc).I like the size of it. It is not really "mini" but definitely smaller than a typical 16-18" book pack/bag a typically sized adult might use for school or more significant hiking. I tried several (e.g. 8+) smaller packs in my journey to find the right pack for my CO trip as all the packs we had in our house were at least 16" in height (too big for this need - Lands End kids, Pottery Barn kids, Mountain Hardwear, Gap, etc). The 11" ht packs were cute but I couldn't fit my 13" laptop inside easily. I ended up seeking a pack in the 12-14" ht range and this pack was a hit.The brand patch/pack looks so much like Fjallraven brand (intentionally obvs)which is fine funny and cute. The price point is much better, too. I will be removing or covering the Kalidi brand round patch with a different patch I like from my summer camp but otherwise I actually like the brand logo/look and would just leave as it. Buy it! You will be glad you did!
