KiplingKipling CITY PACK Medium Backpack

Useful size,well made & attractive good value.

Needed a new backpack after my last one was falling apart. Been on many a trip for almost 20 years so needed an upgrade. I like Kipling bags as the are lift and sturdy with many pockets. I had a look around Amazon and changed my mind last minute for this one. Its waterproof has a variety of pockets and a iPad small computer pocket in the back. Overall I can fit 2 I-Pads and mobile phones light shopping a small first aid kit spare shopping bags and two sets of earphones. There is still room for two rain jacket and it is comfortable to were for long journeys.

I love Kipling, and found this, at a GREAT price, in the recent Prime sale - could not let it go!!!Didn't want or need another bigger/tote/weekend bag but treated myself as a birthday pressie anyway!!Has all the usual Kipling organisational pockets, tough but lightweight fabric quality and good looks!This bag will be used as a weekender, or even cabin bag for short trips as it is a neat size, but holds LOADS!!Had such a bargin with this that I bought a small version the next day, to go with it!!(Though how I am going to carry TWO backpacks at the same time, is beyond me!!)

Bought as cabin luggage, fits lockers easily. .Well made , lots of zipped pockets which are useful for documents, charging cables , books etc plus larger section for other luggage . Jumper, etc .

The bag itself is fine, strong, light and practical. BUT be aware that the straps, even when adjusted, are very long. I am an average size, light build, with small shoulders and the long straps mean that the bag hangs down in my lower back, which I find uncomfortable. I was about to return it, when I realised that if this is a problem for you too, you can force the padded part of the strap through the buckle to make it the right length. This is what I've done, rather than replace the bag.

I have purchased Black Noir City pack in medium sold by Amazon. I already own 2 older version similar backpacks from Kipling, so it is the same high quality.I really appreciate the pocket at the back which stay hidden. You can put your documents there, it is quite big. The deep black colour is stylish. It has taupe colour lining which is very luxury touch. There is no longer a long string with a little catch to clip your key ring inside of the bag which my old Kipling backpack has (only little jump ring on the outside of the bag). Please Kipling bring those back.The only thing: my backpack came with the fluffy key ring monkey (original) called Adriaan. While on the photo there's a plastic one (the one I wanted) instead. But I decided to keep Adriaan anyway as he is cute and I got attached to him.Overall I am very happy. I also purchased beige with red zip backpack for my mum as well.

Can’t believe my luck bagging this on prime day. So chuffed as I’ve wanted a Kipling backpack for ages….£44 absolute bargain! Lots of decent sized zipped storage, great for trips out etc. I’m sure this will get used a lot. Love the size too, it’s not massive, but it isn’t too small either. Easily got a beach towel, 2 bottles of water, medication, spare shoes/lightweight clothes for trip out on holiday.

Speedy delivery, great colour and bargain price. Brilliant design.
