Love it
I love this backpack. I like that it has a spot for my computer and that it isn't bulky. I always get compliments on it! It has become my everyday backpack.

Day Pack for my husband
I purchased this as a gift for my husband. The pack is just the right size and weight. This replaced a cloth one and this is a great choice. Materials quality wonderful. He will be using this for future travels.

Coloring
I ordered the grain and on the website it looks almost white and creamish, but in person it’s all like a very pale green is a good size other than the color

Perfect size for me
Perfect for shorter hikes/day hikes. Lightweight but still good storage capacity and basic features like water bottle holders, bungees, chest and waist straps.

I knew that bag was
I knew that bag was going to be small, but when it arrived it was a little bit smaller than what I figured it would be. Quality feels good, just a little small.

Elqui 18L Daypack
I did end up returning this size and ordering the 24L one, I work at a summer camp and always have so much shoved into my backpack that I needed the bigger size for it to work for me. I got the grain color way and I actually really liked it, it does have green undertones but all the pops of color really work together. The waist strap is skinny but I think most of the pressure will be in the shoulder straps (if your pack is heavy) that the waist one just serves to keep the bag from bouncing around.

I liked the bag, but it wasn't quite what I needed.
I purchased the Elqui 18L and 24L to compare and ended up keeping the 24L. I found the 18L to be a little small for longer day hikes especially if you need multiple layers or pack a lot of water. I play tennis and this backpack is large enough to hold a racket, shoes, but you would need to sqeeze in an additional jacket. I wish the pockets on the straps were slightly bigger. They're large enough to hold my iPhone 15 Pro but I do feel that I need to be rough putting in and taking it out. I got both the grain and foam/silver leaf color. The grain has a military green undertone while the foam/silver leaf is accurate to the website pictures. The 18L also does not have a small zip pocket at the top the way the 24L does. Overall, this is a great bag that could work well for those that want an aesthetic and lightweight bag for day hiking or running errands.
