Everest HK100, Royal Blue, Standard

Bought this for my girlfriend to wear on our trip to the Grand Canyon. I own a bunch of high-dollar backpacks, and I was actually impressed with the quality of this thing for the price. It was just the right size for her to carry a hat and jacket, plus some maps, snacks, and souvenirs in the main pockets. It also has two bottle holders that were just right for standard plastic water bottles. She is usually bothered by the shoulder straps on backpacks, but said these were wide and comfortable. Nice size too. Not too big on her, and didn't look like a little kids pack when I put it on.

Great little backpack. Not super thick, not tons of pockets, but great pack for the price. It gets the job done for small trips with the kids. I tried a bunch of cheap packs on Amazon, this is the only on with comfortable straps. Look at the top, the straps form a little handle shape, then connect to the bag. This shape greatly improves the comfort of the straps; it centers the weight of the pack over the center of your back. Other cheap packs have thin straps that dig into my shoulders. This same shape is in Osprey packs, which are more expensive but the next step up in quality and price from here.

Very lightweight... comfortable and the size is just what i wanted. . . Good for every day use. I like the color. Chest and waist straps longer and more comfortable than other inexpensive day packs I tried. I'm a big girl. It fits me well. The price was right! Overall Happy I selected this Day pack.

Bought this for an upcoming trip where I wanted a smaller backpack to carry my ipad, my small purse, and a few other items on the plane, and then to use while out and about daily on my trip. It has arrived and I love the size and quality! As other reviewers have stated, the padding for the tablet isn't like other computer/tablet bags, but I have a sturdy cover for my ipad and with the padding on the backside of the backpack, I am confident my tablet will be fine. The smaller compartment doesn't have any pen/pencil slots, but that isn't all that important, since the compartment is small, I really am not planning on stuffing tons of things in there! The shoulder straps have enough length to adjust for a lower slung pack--that's how I like to wear a backpack.

*****EDIT to 5 stars!!!*****Company stands by their warranty and makes the process super quick and easy to get a replacement! I love this bad. Perfect for day hikes, or a toddler/preschool "diaper" (more like snack) bag. Great fit on a women's frame and doesn't get your back too hot.Original ReviewThe waist belt broke 1 hour into a hike. The pack was not full. It is the perfect size for short day hikes. The hikers I was with had the same pack and theirs did not break.

**NOTE** I just got this bag today and have NOT yet tried wearing it out and about yet. I will update this review if I have any new insights, though, soon.PREFACE:I have been searching for the "perfect" backpack purse for the longest time, and I was SO excited to find this pack because it has most of the features I've been wanting in a bag!Of course, I knew that with the price (and a couple of customer reviews I had read before purchasing, it wasn't going to be "high quality" or anything. :-/ I took a chance anyway.PROS:-2 small water bottle holders on the sides (*They are a bit small, but the netting seems fairly strong to hold up for a while... fingers crossed)-Chest AND waste straps, for better comfort while hiking/walking for long periods with it on-Handle on top to pick it up, if need be-Reflective strip to help stand out a little better at night, while walking by traffic, bikes, etcCONS:-Cheaper material (*The fabric feels very thin and I wonder how long it will be before it starts to rip from wear and tear). Also, the shoulder straps are just a bit rough against bare skin. I like to wear tanks when I'm out hiking, so this is something I need to cover with another material or something... :-/-I agree with another reviewer, that the chest strap comes down just a little to low for women's chests. Unfortunately, it's not adjustable any higher.-Not very many storage pockets/compartments (*Only one outer pocket with no inner pockets or holders of any kind, and one larger/main compartment with only a stretch-out, inner pocket, which rests against the back of the pack, against where you wear it)REVIEW/SUMMARY:Over all, it's a pretty good design. I really wish it was of better quality (fabric/material and more compartments), but I figured I wasn't getting high-quality for thIS small price. I don't mind paying a hefty-penny if I ever find a higher-quality pack, if I ever find one... but, in the meantime, we'll just see if this cuts the mustard! ;-)

When I purchase this I thought it would not so great quality because of the price I paid for (very good reasonable price$). I was surprise when I receive this, it is very light and good quality. Our son use this every weekend when we are out, he would put his tablets, toys snacks and water bottle, you would think that this small/med size backpack won't fit alot of stuff but surprisingly it fits tons of stuff. Our lil boy carries this bag in the beach it get sands on it and splash of water (doesn't get wet inside).

Like other reviewers mentioned, this backpack is poorly sewn and comes apart after a few uses. Within 2 day-hiking trips, the waist straps came off, so I had to see them back on... The chest straps don't seem that secure either and are a little low for me as a woman (5'3"). It's a convenient backpack for storing minimal items including a light sweater rolled up and a hydration bladder. But I don't expect it to last long. Also, it's ridiculous that the black color is more expensive than the grey one.
