Mountain Hardwear Natural 12 Backpack (For Women)

I ordered the black bag with reptile design panel at center. I very much liked the design, comfort and size. Very useful pockets and placement. My issue with this bag is the shiny reptile fabric. Too plasticky and glitzy for me...a deal breaker. I hope they make this bag without the shiny panel. Nice looking, just not for me.

This backpack is perfect for traveling, it fits everything I need to have on me- the top pocket is perfect for the camera and sunglasses. It has great pockets and features and is very comfortable to carry. I used it traveling in Mexico, haven't used it snowboarding yet.

I wanted a small pack for day hikes or trips to town when camping. This fits the bill, seems nicely made. My only complaint is that the main compartment does not have a double zipper, so it kind of hard to open in a hurry. Plus you can't just open a small opening to grab what you need, as you could with a zipper pull at each end. Double zippers are standard on most packs. But- it was a good price so I'll put up with it!

I had been looking at this bag for awhile as a replacement for my work bag (I'm a nurse) and finally decided to get it. It's the perfect size for me and seems to have exactly the right number of compartments that I need. Everyone at work compliments me on both the design and look of the bag! The bag is on the smaller side so don't expect a large pack. Additionally the opening of the main compartment is a tiny bit on the small side when opening it, though that's probably my only complaint! I can't believe I ever waited so long to get this bag!!

I bought this small backpack for day hikes. I was tired of lugging big backpacks or fanny packs that were too small. I wanted something that I could comfortable carry my large camera without being "too obvious"... This is a perfect size, stylish, and very comfortable. So glad I purchased this! :) Great padding! I just wish it had 1 or 2 water bottle holders....
