Lite Ready Pack (18L lightweight weekend backpack) - ArcadeGray

I purchased this for an upcoming trip to Ireland, lots of walking & hiking - the quality is excellent so I am sure I will love it!

It’s lightweight, and big enough (without overpowering smaller people), with nice clean lines for those of us who care about fashion😆

Beautiful and fashionable unisex backpack. Functional, well-considered. Expensive but definitely quality. The one issue is, however, a major design flaw. The black plastic strap adjusts both rest against the sides of your chest, right where your upper arms settle. This means they dig in or at least rub and irritate your arms all day long. Not ideal, especially in hot weather with short-sleeves.

Good for day trip Useful pockets including water bottle pocket Suitable and comfortable size with easy handling

Great lightweight pack, used it for a trip to Australia, Canada and now Mexico! Love it

The bag itself is nice but the straps are terrible. So like that defeats the point of a backpack

I had no idea i am even supposed to return before 30 days. Can you make an exception to return and I can get something else from Bellroy please.

This would be a 5 star review of this backpack, but it seems that it suffers from the same issue as a lot of the newer designed backpacks (not just from Bellroy) where they put a handy easily accessible pouch on the outside, but everyone seems to be putting this pouch near the top of the bag, so that if there isnt much in the main compartment of the bag, the items in the outside pouch weigh down the backpack and have no rigidity to them, if they would just place the pouch near the bottom it would be so much more effective. But other than that I love the backpack and it worked great on a trip through Europe for a convenient day pack.
