Review: Great bag for daily commute - I returned the “blush tan” one I purchased because I did not like the color, which does not look like the picture. The actual item is kind of a mix between taupe and mauve. I ended up buying it elsewhere in black. The bag itself is great. I use it for my daily commute (which involves about 2 miles of walking). Large interior capacity (which is large enough to hold my lunch, a stack of documents, and all of my usual purse items, with room to spare, could probably also accommodate a slim laptop and a cardigan or light jacket, even with all the other contents). The outer side pockets are perfect for a water bottle and umbrella, and the front pocket holds my keys and small miscellaneous items. Note that the front pocket does NOT lock (the zipper just slides through a band of fabric), so I would not recommend using that pocket for valuables, particularly if wearing the bag in a crowd or high-theft area. The locking feature on the top is a nice feature, both attractive and appears to provide good security, once you figure out how to work it. LOVE that the straps can be tucked into the luggage handle sleeve on the back so it can be carried from the top handle (which I switch to when I get to the office). The bag is comfortable to wear for me (I am 5’7” and have the straps adjusted to the shortest length), but I agree with other reviewers that it would likely sit too low on a petite person’s back and probably not be comfortable that way. The only thing I would change is the pink interior - it does make things easy to find inside, but I’m just not a pink person and would prefer a neutral color like beige or tan. Still giving it 5 stars for functionality and looks.
Review: Perfect replacement for my Osprey daypack for airplane travel! - I have been looking for a replacement for the daypack I got as part of my Osprey Farview, and alternatively for my Longchamp Le Pliage. My daughter had recently bought an item from PacSafe and really likes it, so of course I went to PacSafe's website. I saw this backpack and immediately was attractive to it because it was not too big, was lightweight, had a fairly slim line, and it worked as a personal item for international travel. I started looking for reviews on YouTube (as well as for reviews of comparable items and came across a number of recommendations. Some people absolutely loved it, and some pointed out a few negatives. Given the cost and the fact that I would need it to be shipped internationally, I hesitated and kept looking for other suggestions. A few weeks ago, I saw that the PacSafe store on desertcart had lowered the price (I think because they introduced a new model,) and I decided to jump on it. It arrived to me within the week, and I have to say, it far exceeded my expectations! It is the same length and width as my Osprey, but its outer pocket is larger (which was something I was looking for), and it not only can hold my iPad, but my 15" MacBook can also fit along with other items. It is lightweight like my Longchamp (which I also use for travel) but easier to carry and looks stronger. It fits more than either of my other personal item. I s can also throw my Le Pliage into is as in case I should need it. Even better, it is nice looking! I am not a young backpacker, and I hate looking too touristy when I travel. Some people have commented that it doesn't fit well for shorter people. I am 5'1" and have no issues with it (I did a test pack just to see). Generally, I also travel with a small roll-aboard so I am not carrying it on my shoulders for a long period of time. The fact that I can slide it onto the handle was a positive that my other two personal items did not have.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use it as a travel bag? (Packing 3 thin dresses and travel size essentials)”**
A: I would think so. I can put my full size camera, toiletry bag, and a super small crossbody purse inside. My kindle, iPad, and chargers fit in the front pocket.  I can fit a water bottle and travel umbrella in the side pockets.

**Q: Does the outer pocket zipper lock?**
A: The outer (front) pocket does not lock. Only the top zipper locks.

**Q: what are the dimensions of the top handle**
A: Each top handle is a little 
over an inch wide  and 12.5 inches long from stitched ends.

**Q: How does this fit a 5'2" woman? I've read it is too large for my size. Thank you!**
A: If I’m not carrying too much then the straps at it’s tightest, although on the long side, are fine. But when it gets heavy, it’s not very comfortable for long periods of time as I want to wear it tighter and I want the pack higher on my back for better weight distribution. I do wish the straps allowed for that. The straps are narrow, offer little support, and could certainly be improved. I’m 5ft 2in and 125 lbs. If I’m just carrying it from home to car to office, I don’t mind. But I’d hate to wear it all day as the straps will dig into my shoulders and the pack will hang too low.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stylish and safe for travels
*by L***E on May 14, 2025*

I took this bag on an overseas trip and it was great. I like the theft-proof latch and strong fabric, and I added a small carabiner to the outside pocket zipper for travel through the train stations or streets. The large top opening and lighter inside color made it easy to find stuff that was inside, but sometimes it was hard to zip without using both hands. It’s a very good backpack overall; both stylish and safe.
