Frommer's Hatchback Mini Backpack

This lightweight bag has a lot of features to love. It has 3 pockets in front, some inside organizer pouches in the main compartment and a hidden zipper pocket in the back. The shoulder straps are padded (yeah !) and adjustable. There is a water bottle pocket on the side that closes with a clever magnet so it is not flapping around when empty. It is waterproof (or very water resistant). The bag is padded so it keeps its shape when stood on the floor and it has a clear plastic panel on the bottom so the bag doesn't get dirty or wet. Lots of places to keep ID, transit cards etc and enough room inside for someone who is a bit of a hoarder. Can fit a kindle or ipad, and the padding would give it some protection.

Personally, I could do without the padding so as to have more room, but it isn't obtrusive. It does tend to make the bad more comfortable to wear if you are only in a t-shirt. Just note that the front-most pockets (flap closure and the zip one next to it) will not fit most smart phones but do fit my luddite, old fashioned cell phone.

It doesn't look CEO dressy, but it isn't like a trek backpack or daypack you could probably use it in most work environments. Also great to take the kids to the park or for a mass transit commute or shopping.

Positively a keeper thinking of getting some more colors

It has so many compartments! I wish I had it when my twins were toddlers. Seems to be water resistant. Hard to soil. Love it!
