Here is a link to the new LE Beach Backpack: http://www.landsend.com/cd/fp/prod/0,,1_2_678_66253_142690_120797_5:view=-1,00.html?CM_MERCH=PAGE_66240&sid=4412185646138119910
I just received mine today in the fuschia pink. Yes, it is a HOT pink -- very beachy and exactly what I was hoping it would be.
As usual with LE's products, it is well made. The interior is a light grey. I would have prefered the light blue as per their diaper bags, but the grey is OK. It has a TON of pockets, like their Triple Compartment Diaper Bag backpack. The straps are padded and have a soft lining, but the top part of the straps is not elastic like the Triple Compartment backpack.
This bag is BIG. I plan on using it for trips to the beach and the pool with DD. I think three large beach towels would be a tight fit (ours are thick), but three pool-sized (bath) towels would definitely fit in the largest/rear compartment, which also has a sand-trap.
There is also a rear mesh compartment that could be used for a small change pad (wouldn't fit the large, oversized one that comes with the Triple Compartment backpack, but would fit the one that comes with the LT or a disposable pad).
I'll try to post some pictures later.
