Sherpani bag recommendation:  The Blaze; one of our newest additions to the sport collection for spring '08. The blaze is the perfect bag for my needs; it doubles as a duffel bag and a backpack. The Blaze, by far, is a stellar commuting bag. Other than being shaped to fit my back comfortably, it is compact and lightweight. With a wide opening, one can easily view its adorable floral lining, mesh pockets, hydration compartment and more. This bag was not awarded the 'best fitness bags' award from Health Magazine for nothing!

Sherpani bag recommendation:  the Flora Minor (coming for Fall 2008!). With so many features and durable, yet feminine construction, this bag is ready for anything - from riding around town to going for a hike or spending an afternoon at the park. Not too bulky, yet large enough for a book, lunch, or an extra layer. Multiple straps on the outside allow for a very comfortable fit and extra storage. This bag is the perfect excuse to get outside!
