Hi everyone! I have spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to find the "perfect" (for me) backpack for the parks. Honestly, I don't think I'm asking for any strange combination of features!
Here is what I am looking for:
Waterproof or nearly so
Side pockets for water bottles
Doesn't have a flap
Minimal number of external pockets (for security)
Pocket in the shoulder strap for a smartphone
Cool to wear in the heat (mesh back?)
Non-chafing shoulder straps
Easy access to pockets to get wallet out at stores
Color that isn't super dark
Not huge in size (will be carrying lunch and baby gear but I'm not trekking the Himalayas)
Any ideas? I really appreciate your help!
Thanks!
