To those who complain this bag is too small: there is a larger sized model out there that you can buy. I don't know why you bought this one which clearly states "SMALL backpack", then complain it's too small. It is so hard to find a small, lightweight, compact and strong backpack, I'm very glad to have found this one. I don't carry too many heavy stuffs, so don't want a big bag. I hope the manufacturer will keep making the smaller backpacks like this one and not be affected by those complaints. More options of sizes is always a good thing. Nice pockets design by the way.
I was buying two of the backpacks in black and pink for my daughter and I to use on a 60mile/3 day Susan G. Komen walk at the end of the month. My son, who is on the swim team, asked if I could purchase a black and orange one so he can use it. The day it came in, he switched his 'swim stuff' from the old bag into the new one...it is attached to his back ever since. The comfort and ease of using this backpack is AMAZING!!
I thought it was too small but actually it is big enough for me for daily swim workout. The thing I really like about this is the color. I got Navy/Gold. I can rock Cal Golden Bears shirts and shorts with thig bag!!!! I look fly with 'em.
I carry paddles and a pull buoy, and with the towel in the mesh bottom, it's a little snug. If I used and brought flippers, I couldn't use this backpack. The zippered pocket for phone and wallet is a bit tight. Nice side pockets for water bottle and goggles, but it's too small to use for anything but swim gear. However, it is comfortable to carry.
I bought the swimming back packs for my grandchildren that swim on a team in Mansfield Ohio. It is the perfect size to keep them organized and has helped prevent loosing goggles and other gear. The colors were the same as the team colors.
