I am a backpack geek and fanatic. I have many of different sizes. But I was looking for a relatively small backpack that could be used universally as a personal item for planes, around town and short day hikes when we travel. I also wanted multi-pockets, removable him belt and reasonable shoulder support. I found Pingora simply by chance jumping from one website to another. Between more famous brands, like Gregory or Osprey, Pangora Licud 20 liter stood up as a very interesting proposal at reasonable price (I received 15% off for being first time customer). Since I purchased it, I used it quite few times. The most likable feature for me are those zip pockets on the shoulder straps. My iPhone 13 fits perfectly in zip and open pocket and allows very quick and convenient access. The zippers are good, the number of additional straps is great, and the fabric and construction is very good. I like the closed vertical zip front and side pockets for jacket and spare items. Somebody at Pingora has a lot of ingenuity to incorporate them. The only think I do not like is the tightness of the side water bottle pocket; you really need to use a tall and skinny bottle with it. I would also suggest Pingora to make a zippered inside pocket instead of Velcro one and adda clip for keys. And if they incorporate a fitted rain cover, it will be a great value. But all in all, it's a great pack.
