This extra cozy version of our 9L Sidekick has everything you love about the best-selling backpack: just the right amount of space, plenty of pockets, and a padded interior tablet sleeve. What’s up with the virgin poly? This item was mistakenly made with it instead of our usual recycled stuff. That’s not our style, but neither is waste, so we decided to let it stick around. Don’t worry, it still holds its weight in the trash-cleaning department.

“I got this little gem for traveling, and I have to say, I'm impressed! My Kindle and phone fit in the smaller pocket, and the main will fit a tablet (not a full laptop, unless it's small-ish) and your rain jacket, as well as snacks and day needs! The pockets on the side aren't big enough for a Nalgene, but they sure will do for two smaller water bottles or one and your glasses/misc quick reaches. VERY happy with it and I can't wait to wear it out”

Reviews

Love it!!!

"Love the size and the materials used. This is a perfect backpck for quick on the go or daily use. It fits computer, tablet, journal and all the other essentials for a budy day at work or school."

Elizabeth G. (5/5)

Cute bag

"Cute bag. A little larger than I thought it would be from the photos. Looking forward to the fall to use it!"

Martha O. (4/5)

Well constructed

"I love the look, deep side pockets for the water bottles. Lots of zippers and compartments. The red plaid part does not feel like wool but that’s ok. It is on the small side but I think it’s big enough for what I need."

Perfect little travelers backpack!

The Sidekick is a winner

"I love the Sidekick. It’s the perfect size, has excellent pockets, and is cute! And, UBB customer service was fantastic: friendly, helpful, down to earth, and effective."

MARIA W. (5/5)

Love it!

"This is one of the most comfortable backpacks I’ve ever used. The compartments are pretty big. I fit my MacBook 14” along with a few notebooks and a dlsr camera and there was still room for a bit more. My only tiny issue is that a small part of the front pocket (the one with the hook) is mesh, so if it rains, water may soak through easily. Other than that, but backpack I’ve ever used."

Joseph H. (5/5)

Great bag!

"It's a delightful size - can fit quite a few things but not overly bulky. The straps at the front were confusing to me at first, but they do come in handy!"

Mercedes P. (5/5)
