I stopped carrying a purse decades ago. For many years, I simply carried my wallet & keys in my jeans pockets. However, during the last year or so, I have enjoyed keeping my iPad with me so I would hear Ring camera notifications, could check maps, or simply read articles on the internet. It is really nice to have my iPad with me in the car or when I visit friends or family.
I also like to keep my Propel water with me at all times. Plus, my car now has a fob instead of a key. A fob is more bulky in pockets than a key. Sometimes I hook the fob on my jeans belt loop, but that is not very attractive and I don't always wear pants with loops.
Unfortunately, now that I carry my iPad, my key fob & water everywhere I go, I need something to carry it all in instead of trying to carry them in my hands. I tried a tote, but I really prefer having my hands free. So, I went in search of a backpack.
I found exactly what I wanted and my parents gave it to me for my birthday! Now that I have carried my backpack for a few months, I love it and can recommend it for many reasons.
My Westbronco Anti-Theft Backback - A Great Gift
It is hard to know where to start when reviewing this backpack. Not only is it attractive, but it has a lot of wonderful features that recommend it over other backpacks. Here is a list of the features that really matter to me.
- Anti-Theft - the zipper opens in the back instead of the front
- Attractive & Soft PU Leather
- Water Resistant
- 3 Pockets Inside (1 is a zipper pocket)
- 2 Side Pockets (perfect for my water bottle)
- 2 Exterior Zipper Pockets (on front side under the fold)
- Top Attached Handle for Grab & Carry
- Backpack Straps, plus a separate Detachable Shoulder Strap
- Available in Several Colors
- Great Size for Women
The backpack came in a dust cover which is an awesome storage bag when I am not using it. It truly does keep the dust off of the backpack while waiting for our next adventure.
I highly recommend this backpack for anyone who needs to carry several small items and doesn't like carrying a purse. The problems I have had with backpacks in the past are eliminated by having the entry zipper against my back instead of accessible to anyone standing behind me. I also prefer this smaller size that is big enough to hold an iPad, wallet (in the interior zippered pocket), key fobs, cellphone, water bottle and more. I can even add my Kindle Fire so I can play my games when I am away from home.
This backpack would also make a great overnight bag!
