Berkeley Daypack

Absolutely adore this backpack! The rich, warm ochre hue paired with the slightly wrinkly fabric is a lovely combination, and the fabric is waterproof too! The padded shoulder straps are very comfortable but might take a day or two to get used to, and the two inner pockets are perfect for small items. I was worried that it might be too small, but once I move my water bottle and thermos to the side pockets, I have enough room for my laptop and books. Three things that could make this bag even better: 1. Adding a strap to the back, so the bag can be securely attached to a carry on suitcase. 2. Using a fabric with the same color and texture but more stretch. 3. Either moving the two inner pockets to the inner front of the middle compartment or adding two inner pockets to the front pocket.

Great backpack. It is stylish and is just the right size I looked for. It is great for general everyday usage and fits a lot of items in its compartment. However, I wish the straps could be a bit wider and padded a bit thicker. Straps feel a bit tight and pressured on my shoulders especially when I tried to slide my laptop in the backpack. Everything else is great!
