Customer Reviews Dakine Cosmo 6.5L

This is a roomy little backpack that I use as my purse. I like that it has several pockets and a key holder. Glad I got it. Just the right size for me.

Love it! I get compliments on it everyday. It's really great for carrying a change of clothes or going to class when you only need a little composition notebook. I use it for to/from work because I walk everywhere and it's much more comfortable than a purse.

Great for light packing when you're traveling. If you like to hike for a day, this is a good backpack. It is small enough to fit 2 water bottles and food and everything else you need necessary for your hike.

This is my second one. My first one was the green plaid and I loved it so much that I get this one for the summer. It is a purse size not a backpack size. Zappos had a great price too.

Ordered this backpack for an upcoming trip to Hershey Park with grandchildren. Did not want to carry a purse, but wanted to have water, cash, camera etc available. Worked great! There was even enough space to stuff a light jacket. I could wear it as designed or on just one shoulder. I left it with my daughter; she liked the smaller size and would use it more often that I will...but I know I can order another one! Only thing that I would like is a pocket on the outside to tuck a map for easy access.

This is a great bag with one exception. There is no outside pocket for phone or keys. I thought I'd like to give this set up a try, but it's just not working for me. The bag is very light and seems durable. Just wish it had that outside pocket!

This bag is everything I wanted it to be! Two straps for the comfort of your back, quite a decent size, fits a lot of everyday junk, handy little compartments. The metal zips rattle against each other sometimes, but that's not too bad. A practical purchase, and it looks pretty good too!

This is great for travel. It can be placed in front for security as well as in the back. I like the design.

I'm 30 and was looking for a bag that was attractive but still grown up looking. This fit the bill. It is on the small side (iPad does not fit) but its a great substitute for a purse or diaper bag. It holds a wallet, a few diapers and wipes, and a regular size bottle of water. I love the small backpack instead of carrying a purse, much more convenient and comfortable. I purchased the houndstooth pattern and I like it better in person than I did online. The yellow is bright, but nice. My only complaint is that it could be just a tad bigger to fit the iPad. Otherwise it's great.

This pack is good looking enough that it makes a nice substitute for a purse. Though not large, it holds quite a bit. However, the fabric is rather stiff, and the interior pockets seem to be made cheaply. It would not be good for heavy-duty use, but it is ideal for light use.

I love this super cute backpack! I get lots of compliments on it all the time! It is a great size, and the front compartment is great for organizing small things like my phone, work badge, small notebook, etc. The large compartment is one big area, so it does make it a little harder to find things since any heavier item will sink to the bottom. My keys are a bit bulky for the front section, so I sewed in my own little key fob into the the top. It would be nice to have another divider or a slash pocket of some sort in there. I have not found the one little pocket to be really useful yet because of the small size and the way it hangs. Still, it is very roomy, and it feels light even when I load it up. I have lower spine issues so I needed a bag that would not pull down one shoulder. Lately my other purse was literally weighing me down, but this backpack feels effortless to carry. So while it is not my fantasy dream bag, for now it is close enough!

I have owned 3 packs like this one over the past 20 years. Looks nice and as functional as ever, the quality of the product has really gone downhill. The material seems flimsy and cheap. The zipper pulls are plastic. Just not feeling it anymore. Probably won't buy another.

I was hoping to replace my black Outdoor Products hydration pack that I have been using as a backpack/purse for the past decade. The Dakine Cosmo 6.5L was very cute but much too small to accomplish this feat. I am trying Amazon for the Cosmo's older sister the Dakine Wonder 15L.

Smaller than I thought it would be based on the picture and video. I wish there were more backpacks in this style (i.e., small, casual backpacks) that were slightly bigger in the main compartment. It still will fit a large water bottle, large wallet, and some other small things, but I will miss a little extra space for something like a jacket.

I love this pack! Perfect for carrying a phone, some snacks, a book, and a bottle of water. Lots of little compartments. The size is perfect, not too big, not too small. However, I've had the pack for less than two months, and it's already falling apart; holes around the zipper, the fabric is printed and not woven, so the color is fading quickly. I was surprised, as Dakine is usually high quality.

The only good thing is the color. Otherwise it is pretty small on the inside. But, the most horrible thing are the straps, which have sharp textile corners that cut into your arms - that makes wearing it as a backpack unbearable. It is kind of useless.
