Review on Vera Bradley Recycled ReActive Backpack Backpacks by David Barit

SO VERSATILE! Perfect little bag, holds everything you need

I would love this bag anytime in my life but it's perfect for what I need now. I was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and now I have to take a diabetic kit with me everywhere (including when I go for a walk). My diabetic kit is a light turquoise "purse" in the main compartment. It measures 7 x 4.5 x 1.5 inches, slightly larger than most paperbacks. (This is Sugar Medical's "luxury case" and I highly recommend it.) or other medium-sized items in the main compartment. The bag also fits my mask, Altoids, lip balm, phone, slim wallet, passport, mini snacks, keys and more. I especially like how this bag can be carried in so many ways, which is very comfortable and is easy on my back. I'll toss it over my shoulder for a quick errand. For a long walk I carry it either over my shoulder or as a fanny pack. Perhaps my favorite feature is being able to attach my favorite giant water bottle to the hook with a carabiner. I have used them for daily trips and international trips. It was perfect. It will be my favorite bag for travel and everyday use. My only complaint is that the interior would really benefit from a couple of small pockets for refilling keys, lipstick etc. Everything else is perfect. I'm 5'9 and 150 lbs. I don't need an extension clip in either configuration.
