Cascade Backpack - Compact

I’m using this as a “purse”. I don’t fly. Size is nice. I like most of design. Chest straps are unnecessary because the bag isn’t big enough that anyone would ever need them. As others have said, side pockets don’t really work well with a 36 oz cup. Love that it’s waterproof—because my 36 oz cup caused it to tip over and spill my water everywhere. Backpack straps are a little hard to get on, but doable. So far I like it as a purse. Debated the regular size but I think the compact works better for what I want to use it for. It will get daily use. We will see how it holds up!

I’d held off on the SMALLER backpack, already being a proud owner of the larger one. No regrets! Great, as usual, and have had so many compliments on the color I chose, too.

I have the compact backpack in Cobalt. It is so vibrant. I love the color. The size is great for my work commute. My Macbook Air fits nicely in the laptop sleeve. It's so comfortable to wear.
