I had always carried a crossbody but at the end of the day my back and shoulders would be killing me. I also always carry my hydroflask water bottle, so its a little heavy. I swapped to the vera Bradley lighten up back pack (large). They do make a size smaller and a size larger. I am able to carry mine and my moms water bottles in the side pockets along with our ponchos, phone charger, sunscreen, etc... and my back does not hurt at all at the end of a long park day. I now will only carry a back pack to the parks! I usually also carry a wristlet or small purse to take if we are only going for the evening and I don't need all of our gear.
