DakineUnisex's Cosmo 6.5 Liter Lifestyle Backpack, Multi, One Size

This is my go-to backpack.I have been using it daily for more than a year to walk to work and locally, throughout the city.It has adjustable shoulder straps that tighten and loosen smoothly, for an easy and secure “on” and “off”.It has so many different useful pockets for organization.Despite its small size it can cram a lot.I currently carry: a compact powerbank, grip gloves, a charging cable, box cutter, pen, permanent marker, watch, keys, small padlock, lip balm, watch, wallet, self-defense tool (I also work and walk at night), hat, work clothes, water bottle, and handheld flashlight.I regularly also have enough room to carry a meal or two, EarPods, a reusable bag, a packable jacket, and/ or a small book.If ever, I will carry the water bottle and/ or groceries in hand, and pack the rest.Large or winter jackets will not fit in this pack.Reasonably speaking, this is a very strong bag and the construction amazes me.I have only noticed slight wear at the seams of the carry handle.An only upgrade for me from this, would be a larger size bag with the same amount of organization, but room enough for things like a change of clothes, an unused jacket, or groceries picked up along the way home. Two water bottle pockets would also be essential. I work in crowded public places, so keeping all my things together in one bag while working or traveling is better.From experience that would be the ideal backpack for me, but for that, I’m still searching.Until then, this backpack has helped make me into a hero. It has made my every day travel around the city great. It has helped me keep my work stuff organized. It has made my work easier. My life is better thanks to this. 👏

this backpack is so perfect for everyday use. the material feels like it will hold up a long time. the front pocket has tons of organization and the larger pocket fits my 40oz hydro flask which pleasantly surprised me.

It’s amazing how much you can fit into this small looking backpack. Very well made, I’ve had one since high school but wanted it in another color. Great product.

I really like the double zippered pockets and the front one has many smaller compartments, plus the larger pocket is large enough for 2 wine bottles to fit perfectly in it!

Visually this backpack looks really nice, functionally it's really bad. For one, the backpack cannot stand on its own. You can not simply place it down and open it because of its shape, it only lays flat. This is really annoying. Another annoying thing is the front flap, when you put things in it it makes the front really heavy so the moment you open it it's already wanting to flop down, I also don't like that you can't simply toss things into it because it's not a pocket, it's a flap, and everything you put in it must go inside a compartment. And lastly the main compartment is pretty small. I could barely fit my wallet and a Zephyrhills size water bottle. I'm replacing this backpack with the other mini Dakine model.
