I bought this for an upcoming two week trip in Europe as a daypack. In photos on this page the fabric looks floppy, but it is not. It is sturdy. I wasn't sure how the straps would feel, but they are slightly padded. It's a small pack and it won't be that heavy and the straps seem comfortable. They are wide enough and the angle is good for me (5'8") and the pack seems stable on my shoulders. I like the zipper pocket inside the main section. The main section looks plenty big enough for a light jacket, my id and small wallet, and my water bottle. As others have mentioned, the side pockets are too small for a water bottle. They are also (like other packs, I have found) too short for a water bottle. These are the two negative points about the pack. Even if the pockets were wider, a full water bottle would likely fall out much energetic activity. Overall, it fits what I was looking for, and I got it with a 20% discount, so very happy with this purchase and still give it 5 stars.
