This is a great little bag. I purchased it for mountain bike riding. It carries quite a bit more than it looks like it would! I also used this bag for park touring at Disney World! It was great in that respect as well. It's lightweight. It carries a lot without weighing you down and it's bright enough that your family can easily find you in a crowd! This bag is extremely comfortable. It doesn't hang or sag after a while like most bags. There is a clip that allows you to take the bag off and on without having to pull it over your head. From start to finish I loved this bag. It does not get in the way or restrict movement on long rides and it allows you to be hands free and comfortable while trekking...parks or just the great outdoors. Love it!

I bought this bag because it appears to be a good everyday bag. I was not disappointed. I do wish that the designers had done a few things differently, however. For instance, the phone on the strap is not big enough for an average sized cell phone; it needs to be bigger. It would be helpful if there were more organizational tools built into the bag, such as pen loop pockets and maybe an outer pocket on the rear of the bag. Overall though, the pros outweigh the cons on this bag. It has forced me to downsize the amount of crap I carry around with me, and just take the essentials. I ordered the green color, and it's totally cute and fun! It looks sturdy and I think it will last a long time.

Love this bag! Bought it for a trip to Ecuador. Fit all the travel essentials in an easy to access (but not easy to pick pocket) pack. It was great for every day in the cities and hiking in the Andes Mountains. Have used it since many times for Chicago Bears games and a trip to Six Flags. Highly recommend!

I love this bag! What more do you need to know? My family is traveling quite a bit this spring, wanted a bag that was (a) convenient and comfortable to carry; (b) durable and well-made; (c) a practical bag for day trips and excursions with the kids; (d) cute in a sporty way. This one is all that and a bag of chips. More comfortable to carry than a traditional backpack -- no slipping off shoulders, etc. It is smallish (about half the width of a backpack) but deceptively spacious -- on my maiden voyage with this bag I brought it cross-country skiing, packed 2 apples, 2 bananas, 2 bottles of water, cell phone, small package of tissues, and extra gloves -- there was a lot of room to spare, could have brought a sweater or two as well. Carried so comfortably, forgot I had it with me! Did I mention that this is a great bag?

This bag was awesome for our trip to Disney World. We were only a party of two adults, so we didn't need all the children's essentials, which would probably not fit in this bag. But for the two of us, it was so incredibly perfect. We fit: one water bottle, spray sunscreen, two ponchos, bag of trail mix, hand sanitizer, a hat, sunglasses, wallet, kleenex, and other small odds and ends. Best part of this bag is the front pocket on the strap. It doesn't fit an iPhone, but it was perfect for holding all of our cards and tickets, which we needed to access frequently throughout the day. I also like the small "secret pocket" behind the main zipper, where we stowed our more valuable things such as wallets. The straps are adjustable and the loose ends can actually be tucked away in the holes on the corner of the bag. The clip release for the main strap was very handy. But my boyfriend found the bag so comfy, he rarely took it off. I give this minus one star because the nylon straps faded in the sun a lot during our week-long vacation, much of which was spent in the sun. As a result, the bag looks a lot more aged, even though it is only a few weeks old. A more color-fast dye or something would've been nice to maintain the cute look of the bag (we got the white and teal-blue one).

I have had this bag for a couple weeks now. I use it mainly to carry provisions to work with me. The front strap pocket is too small for my cell phone, so I use it to carry my Bluetooth earpiece instead. The front strap also has two loops on it, the higher of which is good for hanging up the bag. If you are not being to rough and tumble, they also make for a suitable way to hold a pair of glasses. There is also a waist strap present, but it is entirely ignore-able if you do not want to use it. I used it once when I took the bag on a bike ride. There are two main pockets on the exterior of the bag. A small one near the top that is just perfect for holding small valuables. the inside is made of a soft cloth so you do not feel like they are getting scratched up in there. I use it to hold my iPod Touch and earbuds, but it is also just big enough to hold a Nintendo DS Lite (along with my iPod and headphones). The main pocket is fairly spacious. It has two interior pockets; a small mesh pouch and a bigger, useful one lined by a stretchy band. I like to stash my Nook color in the stretchy pouch, and my tools in the mesh pouch. Everything else goes in the main pocket. I am no expert on materials, but this bag seems to made up decent stuff. I am worried that the strap will eventually break though. Even though it is attached from the top very securely, the bottom attachment looks flimsy. The back is lined with soft mesh, so it feels pretty good on your back. And I think it looks cool, but that is me.

We took this on vacation and it was very comfortable to wear all day. I wanted something besides a diaper bag to tote the basic necessities for me, my toddler, and my pre-schooler. I kept sunscreen, tissues, wallet, keys, cell phone, diapers, wipes, a small first aid kit, and a couple of small toys comfortably in the bag. It was perfect for a day trip in an amusement park. Also, there are a couple of compartments inside to keep things separated and easy to get to.

I wanted a small & cute bag for my trip to Vegas and this was perfect! It has several compartments and much more space than one would expect. The bag is attractive and also very comfortable to wear for walking around all day!

I bought this bag to use in place of a purse on an active weekend getaway. It worked out perfectly. I loved being able to strap a light jacket on the bag instead of tying it around my waste. Plus, it was comfortable to wear and held everything I needed.

We took this bag on a Disney trip with a 5 year old an 3 year old. It held all the essentials, was light and comfortable, and easy to take on/off for rides. The sling style allows you to swing the bag around to your front to access the compartments without having to take it off. We will be continuing to use it for outings with the kids.

Extremely comfortable and stylish. Have had several positive comments since I began wearing them. Great shoe. The only negative is there is not a great deal of support, so probably not best for wearing for long periods or if you have to be on your feet all day. More casual, but the style is casual. If you need support consider a 1/2 size larger with an insert.

I Just love the Sperry Top Siders and the canvas type are so comfortable you think you are wearing house slippers all day. I highly recommend this item in whatever color. I have the original type, the suede and the canvas, they are all very comfortable , easy to clean and seem to last forever. For a guy I am kind of a fashion freak,and even in jeans I am always told how good I look and I believe the Top Siders by Sperry always help the look and I have six or seven different colors to match what ever I happen to be wearing.

I and everyone around me loves these shoes. They are comfortable with or without socks. I used standard shipping and expected to get them in a week, but instead got them in 4 days! Love these! Not very good arch support for those super arched people, however.

These are my first pair of boat-shoes, ever. I don't ever not wear socks in shoes either. But this is a whole new world! Comfortable, light weight and breathable. Excellent construction. I highly recommend these shoes. Great color too!
