Love it!
I love everything about this bag. I’m so glad I was able to get it in eggplant. The colour is beautiful, luminous yet subtle. Like other reviewers, I wanted something even smaller than the Synik 22 to take what I need daily for university teaching. This fits my iPad (either size) and a 500 ml Owala bottle plus all the other essentials. I’m amazed by how much lighter it feels on my back than it does in the hand. I only wish I’d taken up the suggestion to get an upright cube for inside while I was paying for shipping anyway. It’s not necessary but I think I’d use it. The shipping to Canada was lightening fast and the duty charged by the carrier was lower than I expected.

Even better than I'd hoped for
First, the color: agave. It is beautiful - the perfect something-like-turquoise. Subdued, but still pretty. The size was also a pleasant surprise. This bag has quickly become my EDC to go to and from work - it easily holds my iPad mini, my planner, wallet, keys, pen case, and a few odds and ends (lip gloss, pill case, AirPods, etc.). It is really fantastic and not too big or heavy.

Paradigm Back Pack is Great for Minimal Travel
This back pack was purchased for an upcoming trip to Greece. My emphasis is upon traveling light. This coupled with a small roll-on travel case is great for light travel. The bag is well designed and well constructed! I love it!
