I use this as a purse. I've had the same one for 4 years now, and I can't bear to get use anything else. It's been great for my field work from Death Valley to ocean vessels. It's also great when I just need to bring stuff to keep me from getting bored. I've been able to fit a book, knitting, a DS, and my wallet all in there. I frequently clip my water bottle to the strap when I don't have my backpack. I love this thing, and if mine ever wears out I'm getting the exact same one.

I travel a lot and don't want a heavy backpack weighing me down. This has plenty of space for my iPad mini and a guidebook, plus zippered pockets to organize all the essentials. The strap is long enough to wear crossbody, which is comfortable on the achy back!

I was expecting the material to be like what Osprey backpacks are made out of - that slippery nylon stuff, but this is a cotton/canvas style material. It collects a lot of lint from the clothes I wear and is a pet hair magnet and it shows up a lot on the black color. Otherwise I like the purse. Great size, not too big, good organizational pockets.

This is my favourite bag! Perfect for wetter days in Vancouver. It has so many great organizational pockets and compartments. Plus I love the colour.
