I got this because I wanted a day pack that has lots of pockets and folds up compactly.  The fabric is indeed very soft and feels nice against my skin when wearing a tank top or strapless top.  Having the two water bottle holders on the sides are great but it's too bad they don't have an elastic band like most water bottle pockets and are quite shallow.  The non-elastic drawstring cord makes putting things back in while wearing the pack harder.
