These are not good for daily use. They have no structure to them and the should straps get uncomfortable after a while of carrying a load. They are great for taking with you in your luggage on a trip and using it while out and about for the day.
Everybody loves these for something packable (basically no padding) but the price is hard to swallow because there used to be deals on them for $5 a few years back. Now, $20 is probably the best you can do. People also like the 30L packable version.
As others have said, this is not great for daily use. I love it for trips so I can fit extra gifts in my suitcase and use this as a carry on, or when I'm doing a day trip and I might want extra pack space coming back. Much better than those fold away tote bags, but there is zero support for long usage.

That's exactly what I'm lookin for. Day bag. Thanks!
I've been using these for years. Use the 20L version as my only bag for month-long-plus travel. Same with other family members. Super light. We use packing cubes to add some structure and compress our clothes.

You can pick up something better off AliExpress for about half the price of you don't mind waiting for shipping.
While I love me some aliexpress deals, the bags on there are definitely not as well constructed. The bag I ordered from ali didn't have reinforced interior stitching (this does), and the bottom dropped out on it's first trip. Only dented a waterbottle but I was left using a plastic bag as my carryon for the remainder of the trip.
But as others have said, I wouldn't use this as an all day bag this is something I can keep in the car or leave in the office for when I have some extra stuff to carry.
These are reliable. i use the 20L as my daily work bag - water bottle, gym clothes. there were better deals a few yrs back from eddiebauer - half off plus $10 off and free shipping.
I've used one of these for travel for a while now. It's not great. Mostly, it's the way the shoulder straps are positioned. They do not distribute load evenly, so the outside edge digs in more than the other. If you have any kind of load, it can be very uncomfortable.
Also the water bottle holders do NOT work.
They used to sell "ruckpack" that was very similar, but with much better straps. I think those are gone.

Well the problem seems to be that you are using it for travel, unless you mean packed away while traveling. This bag is meant to be used as a packable bag, useful when you reach a destination as a day bag, or when you just need to have a bag for activities on you. It doesn't have much back or shoulder support, but works just fine as a day bag when you get to your location after traveling. They are pretty durable too. I am able to put an owala 24 in the bottle holders. They hold It decently, I wouldn't turn it upside down or swing it around.
