I purchased this item from Amazon from this seller. I was looking for a small, light, highly visible backpack because I commute by bicycle and like to be able to carry more stuff comfortably if I need to. This fit the bill, but ultimately I found similar items at local post-back-to-school clearance sales for less money. The backpack arrived with a notable cigarette smoke odor, which I was able to wash out, so no big deal. The interior liner is flimsy and within a year had torn in several places. The smallest zipper pocket in the back is an odd shape that makes it difficult to use. The elastic on the bottle holders gave out the first time I tried to take the thing on a short hike, and should probably be replaced. The foam padding in the shoulder straps has started to shift inside the material, so it might not be a bad idea to stitch some anchor points through the straps. For all my misgivings, I still use it most days, and probably will continue to do so until I wear a hole in the exterior. But you could do better with a little careful shopping.
