Customer Reviews Dakine Essentials Mini 7L Backpack

I really like the size of this mini backpack. The main compartment is big enough for a water bottle and light jacket. The extra pockets and slots for smaller items are really convenient. It would've been the perfect backpack except for the straps. The straps were stiff and the edges poked into my arm, even trying it on with a thick sweater, the straps were still noticeable. I really wanted to keep it but after wearing it for several minutes around the house, the straps were too uncomfortable. I imagine I would not be very happy if I were to take this on a long hike.

so cute. tons of storage. perfect!

I have two other Dakine backpacks, which are great. I wanted another with the exact compartment and zipper style as the Essentials Mini 7L, even though I wasn't crazy about the fabric design. But I think I'm going to really like using it.
