What back pack would you recommend?

I swear by these:

I keep my non-essentials in here (cooling towel, sunscreen, kleenex, wipes) and I carry my wallet and phone in my pockets.

That’s very close to what I use!

So mine is more like a traditional backpack instead of a sling bag, but it is super lightweight and I’ve used it the last three years for our trips in August. And various other activities in between. I know there are a couple extra pockets, and I do agree that the pockets can slow you down in security. However, I always know exactly which pocket has quarters for the coin machines, or a pen for autographs, etc. I love being organized and this helps.

We used an Osprey Daylite Daypack backpack and loved it. Got us through a super hot August trip. Perfect size for gear needed for our family of 4 (DD8 and DS11).

Thanks so much everyone for your suggestions. I ended up getting the G4Free one as I didn’t want to spend too much as I didn’t think I’d use it much after our trip.
