I decided to try out the ful ditty mini daypack backpack to replace my larger, bulkier FUL one, to take with me on both my pedal bike and when i ride on the back of my bf's motorcycle. i do not find bringing a purse on such rides to work so comfortably or safely. i've only used it 4 times so far, and it seems to replace the need for my purse perfectly. there are many different places to store things. i really like the front open pocket- my phone slips right in there and it holds it pretty snugly (just don't bend over with it on your back- it may still slip out!) ONLY THING that it doesn't do is specifically carry a water bottle or glass jar of water i tend to tote around in my other one- but HEY- this is to be expected- it's "compact!" and i do not normally carry that around in my purse anyway- HEHE
my mom gave me my large FUL backpack as a gift over 2 years ago and i'm not only wonderfully pleased with this brand of gear, but even surpristed!! how well it has held up and continues to safely carry my laptop and other things around. i load that puppy up pretty heavy a couple times a week and it's still in great shape. i highly recommend FUL backpacks :) Aloha!
I use this mainly on the weekends for quick trips to the store and shopping. It beats carrying a large purse around. It holds my wallet, coupons and checkbook.
