Deuter Speed Lite 15 Daypack

I bought this bag primarily to commute to and from work with, so that I have a decent bag to jog with on days that I might want to do so.

This bag is INSANELY light, and even packed with everything that I bring to and from work, I barely feel it on my back.

I can fit 3 sets of keys, my wallet, and my phone in the small upper pocket; 2 bottles of water/juice/etc in the mesh side pockets; and in the main pocket, I have managed to pack my work clothes when I changed into my jogging shorts/top (dress pants, short sleeve, and bra), along with a Medela 4-bottle cooler pack and Ameda Pump Kit, a kindle, and my ipod.

I haven't had this bag out in any rain harder than a sprinkle yet, so I can't attest to how leak proof it is, although I do know that the condensation from my water bottle doesn't appear to leak through the bag. I have read reviews from other sites indicating that the Speed Lites aren't terribly rain resistent, so if you plan to jog in the rain frequently you may want to invest in a rainproof cover for your bag.

I bought this for short hikes and it is perfect very lightweight, with comfortable straps, and just the right size. The tapering shape allows for full arm movement so you hardly know it's on your back. I've also used it with a Camelbak Antidote reservoir which works very well.

I carry this backpack everyday to work instead of a purse. It holds my 16oz nalgene in one of the side mesh pockets and a similar sized bottle of iced tea in the other side mesh pocket. The small zipper pocket fits my small wallet, ipod touch, and some other small items. The large compartment fits my lunch (if I choose not to carry a separate lunch cooler), gloves, hat, and other small items.

I also use this backpack for good weather, half day, less than 5 miles round trip hikes. For that I can fit a 16oz nalgene in each mesh pocket, a 1L playtpus in the internal sleeve, lunch, a rain coat, and first aid kit. I have removed the "hip belt" as I find it getting in the way for my purposes. I would find the hip belt useful for bike riding or climbing. One thing to note is that the exit port for your hydration bladder tube is only over the right shoulder so if you are dead set on having it over your left shoulder this might not be the pack for you. I love how the tapered design and simple frame make it feel like I have nothing on my back.

I chose this pack over the 10L and 20L versions of this pack because the 10L would be a tight squeeze for a rain coat and lunch and the 20L had compression straps that I feared would get in the way of the side mesh pockets and I just didn't need them.

Gave this to an avid cyclist, she loved it, just what she wanted to take on the bike with her to carry clothing and water....appeared to be well-made and the color (blue) was bright, many compartments....
