Direct answer
Short answer: Pick the adidas Alliance Sackpack (12L) when you want a lightweight drawstring daypack under 20L with a zippered exterior pocket and mesh bottle pockets. Pick the WATERFLY crossbody sling when you want a chest/crossbody sling with organized zip pockets and an adjustable reversible strap for hands-free city walks. YEShop does not currently list a traditional zippered 15–20L laptop backpack, so this is the precise under-20L commute pair from the catalog.

FAQ
Which is better under 20L for commuting?
adidas 12L if you need backpack-style volume for clothes/shoes. WATERFLY sling if you want minimal crossbody carry for phone and essentials.
Will either fit a 15-inch laptop?
Unlikely as primary laptop bags — catalog positioning is athletic sackpack / compact sling. Check Amazon dimensions for your device.
Is the WATERFLY water-resistant?
Catalog bullet notes water-resistant material — still not a substitute for a sealed dry bag in heavy rain.
