The backpack is great, however, it does not stay on your shoulder well. This comment was well documented by other reviewers, but I bought the backpack anyway and I am perfectly happy with it. A sternum strap would help.

I have used this mini backpack yet but it is exactly what I was looking for. I had another similar sized backpack from Eagle Creek that I used for about 15 years before wearing out. I used more other one as a day pack when a diaper bag was no longer needed for my children but a lot of "stuff" was still needed the day such as snacks, small first aid kit, and an extra t-shirt or jacket. Plan to use this mini backpack for my personal item on flights, the beach, short hikes, Disney and other trips. To me, a backpack is more comfortable to carry all day than dragging around a large purse.

I bought this pack because it was perfect form to go on day hikes. Mesh back, lightweight and sleek design. Though the mesh backing and shoulder straps are nice-they feel cheaply done and I actually felt like I was sweating through my pack on my hike. I also found after adjusting the shoulder straps the pieces of fabric was way too long for the pack and looked silly, I had to roll this multiple times around the strap, which was a little ridiculous. I'm also not a fan that there is no waist OR chest strap, this made it not particularly comfortable to hike with, I wish there was an added chest strap or atlas a piece you could buy as an option add on. Overall I'll use this pack but feel like this can be improved to higher quality materials and functionality > aesthetics.

Eagle Creek, how did I not discover your amazing Travel Bug Mini Backpack until just this year? I bought this after an extended search for a mini backpack that would hold up well for commuting to work and also for the trails. Now that I have one, I would love to get another one - one to keep clean for work commute, the other to get messy on the trail! Would love to see this in more colors please, including the beautiful blue of previous Eagle Creek Travel Bug Mini Backpacks!

I have the travel bug in black and in cocca brown. The latter bag gets a lot of positive comments on its color, then the small size is noted. They replaced a much-loved and well used set of E.C. matrix bags, the Argon and the Boron. This bag is good for a small notebook computer, writing implements, wallet, 1/2 size notebook, windbreaker and the occasional apple or bottled water. Works like a champ throughout the whole day. What does not work are the straps, they are sewn in such a way that the spread is for a person with a 44" chest or larger. The right strap on both bag always slips off my right shoulder and I wear a 38/40" coat. Really this a single strap with Velcro bag at best. I can't imagine how small-framed and regular sized women would deal with this anomaly, but it really can't be used effectively as backpack for smaller people. The reviewer that mentioned about the awkwardness of the RFID pocket is spot on. I never use it since it's in an awkward place on the bag. Easier to buy $10 shield. Not really the replacement I was looking for the Argon, but it was the best in the market at the time.

Using this travel backpack for trip to Costa Rica. Will be my purse as well. Good security and easy for a small person to carry.

This is a replacement for a mini-backpack from Eagle that I use daily for the past 4 years. I use it as my purse. I like the security features of of this new backpack. They will come in handy when I travel - as the zippers closures are protected along with RFID shield. It appears that this backpack is slightly larger than my current one. I'm not sure if I am used to it though. Connie

I love this mini backpack... I bought so that I can use as a purse on a recent trip. It is the most comfortable pack I have ever owed and it is perfect in size for all things. I would highly recommend this pack for any use but traveling it was a must.
